Many Christians today feel stalled or stuck in their Christian life journey. In many cases, these Christians haven’t gone any further than weekend attendance at church. But Jesus wants to take us deeper and further in our relationship with Him.  What are five invitations that can bring true transformation and growth in your everyday life, starting today?

In today’s world, people spend their days grabbing and grasping and gathering everything that they think will make a happy life.

While today’s world operates on things like experience, education, status, and seniority— God’s kingdom turns those accepted norms upside down.  In Matthew 20, Jesus told an amazing story of a landowner who shocked his workers with equally generous pay.

It's one of the most memorable moments in Jesus’ earthly ministry: He takes a water basin and a towel and begins to wash the disciples feet. This night in the Upper Room was so inspirational and so instructive. It has all the best elements of a small group setting— the same elements that Jesus wants you to experience today. So what are some of the best blessings that transpire in a small group?  Why should you “do life” with a small group of Christians at your local church?  (Life Groups Launch 2022)
