In new beginnings, God invites us to release the things that are unlike Christ, so that our new life in Christ can flourish. Metaphors such as pruning/new growth and taking off the old/putting on the new help us understand the transformation process of discipleship.

Even as we are continually invited into new seasons, some things remain constant. As Jesus followers, we are called to be rooted in faith, hope and love.

While different season of life offer new beginnings, God continually invites us to newness. Today we explore what God might be inviting us to in our spiritual journeys.

God invites us to live with humility and contentment, which also enables us to rest more fully in God's care. Jesus invites us to come to him with our burdens, and let them be carried by a God who loves us.

We can take time to rest from fear because we know that God has not, and will not, be overcome. God’s unending faithfulness and presence with us give us the ability to rest.

In this week’s series on Rest, we listened to Psalm 23 and were reminded of this simple but powerful truth: The Lord is our Shepherd; we lack nothing because He is with us.

In this series on rest, Psalm 46 reminds us that peace and rest can be found in chaos.

Rest has been part of God's design for humanity from the beginning. We're invited by God to regularly experience rest in our lives.

In his closing remarks, Paul expresses his gratitude for the church’s generosity and describes the strength from Jesus to be content in all circumstances. How is God inviting us to be both content and generous today?

Paul invites us to be intentional about what we're filling our minds with, and setting our minds on. When we fill our minds with matters of God's Kingdom and truth we have the opportunity to embody the hope of Jesus for the world.
