Jesus tells us that he has come that we might have abundant life, but his definition of ‘abundant’ is different than the our’s. This week we look at what the abundant life really is, and how we can experience it.

In John 14:6, Jesus tells us that He is the Truth. This week we explore that one reason Jesus came to earth was to reveal the truth of who God really is–that He is a Father who forgives anyone and everyone who comes to Him and repents. 

Jesus is meant to be more than just a part of our freshman year–He is meant to be at the center of everything we do during our freshman year. This week we look at the life of Peter, as he went from fisherman to a follower of Jesus, and attempt to answer the question: What was it about Jesus that made Peter go all in?

For the final Freshley, we sat down with 4 Freshley small group leaders to hear about their own transition from their freshman year into the greater body of Wesley. Jake, Sam, Olivia, and Haven each shared their perspectives on leadership, community, and pursuing your personal relationship with God. 

This week we wrap up our series called Rooted by talking about the parable of the sower in Mark 4. Jesus shows us that the only thing we can control about our fruitfulness is the condition of our hearts. We want to be a people who give God the best of our attention and affection, because when we do, we can reap a harvest “30, 60, even a hundred times what was sown.”

In this week's message, Bob talked about how transparent discipleship is one of our best tools to deepen our roots and mature our relationships with Christ. 

Prayer is how we enter into and experience relationship with the Lord. It brings us to Him, and Him to us. How do we pray? What are those key ingredients? Why do we pray? Abiding in Jesus is the foundation of a fruitful life. Prayer is more than head knowledge; it’s heart and soul knowledge. 

As followers of Jesus, our ultimate goal is to become more and more like Jesus, full of the fruit of the spirit in every season as we place our hope in him. However, much of our hope, peace, and joy is based on our circumstances. This week we look at how we can be rooted in Jesus as our source of hope, and how Scripture can help us get there.

The night before Jesus went to the cross, He had a moment of excitement. He communicates that Him leaving was actually a good thing because it meant that the Spirit was coming. The problem is: we don’t buy that. The Spirit wants to move through us to see “even greater things,” and He moves best when we are available, aware, and willing to act!

People often say, “God told me this…” or “I heard God say…,” but what do they actually mean? This week, we talk through some practical steps for beginning to hear the voice of God in our lives through the Scripture and the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.
