Pastor Kirk Freeman at our annual Summit.

Sean Brakey from We Are Church sharing the Maranatha heart at our annual Summit.

May we become a people with eyes that look for, hearts that long for, and lives that live towards the return of Jesus.

As we think about sharing the Gospel with others, we are inviting people not to simply believe in a philosophy, but to encounter a person. It's to the degree we have encountered him personally that we can share the story of that part of his heart with others.

Jesus has given us access to the Father's provision and protection, which enables us to be radically generous

Jesus sharing a meal with others was not only essential for life (to feed the body), but it was also His primary place of discipleship.

We are invited to have lives that listen to the heart of Jesus and others, not just hear their noise.

As we partner with God in BLESSing the world around us, we begin in prayer + fasting. Prayer is the place we connect with his heart and see where he is at work. In prayer we ask God: “Where are you at work?” and “How can I join you.” In fasting we long for Jesus and his moving in the people’s lives around us.

We are looking at the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16. At Christmas, through this verse, we see the greatest love, the greatest sacrifice, the greatest offer, and the greatest gift.

Jesus came as the prince of peace - not simply to stop conflict internally or externally, but to restore us back to wholeness. How he brought and bought our peace is the same way we partner with Him to bring peace to our homes, our communities, and our world.
