We Are The Church: Generosity (Pt. 2)
True generosity begins with cultivating a generous attitude of the heart, extending beyond mere financial contributions. Throughout this time together, we will dive into critical points including the biblical principles of sowing and reaping, the idea that generosity precedes personal prosperity, real-life examples illustrating the impact of generosity, and the transformative potential of generosity within both the church and the wider community. We will also examine how generosity often leads to God's favor. GENEROSITY DOESN’T START WITH MONEY… IT FIRST IS AN ATTITUDE OF THE HEART.

We Are The Church: Doubt and Deconstruction
It’s easy to think of doubt as a sign of weak faith. But it’s not. God isn’t afraid of our doubts, so we don’t have to be either. This month, we’re creating a space for the questions we’ve been afraid to ask. What if doubt isn’t the opposite of faith but rather a doorway to a deeper faith? Your doubts don’t make you a bad Christian. What if doubt might be a key ingredient to discipleship? Together, let's discover how doubt can actually build our faith. YOUR FAITH IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION.

Vessels: Relationships
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Vessels: Friendship Pt. 2
The age-old adage “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future” may feel overused, but there is a significant truth. Our relationships with others are important markers of our identity. They don’t define us, but they influence our decisions, our habits, and our disciplines, and inform others about who we are.

Vessels: Mentorship (Pt.2)
At this age, having someone you can look up to and aim to be like is so important. We see leadership and adults around us in a new light - as people who have been where we’ve been and have gained some experience from it. We have new questions, and not one teacher to give us a 20-page PowerPoint for relationships, careers, and developing Godly character.

Vessels: Worship (Pt. 2)
In Psalms 137, we find the Isrealites who are being taken away from Israel into captivity. We can picture them captured, maybe shackled to their neighbor. Leaving their home to be slaves in a foreign land. It’s a pretty depressing picture. And to add to it, their captors are insisting that they “sing those happy songs.” But the Isrealites have hung up their harps and musical instruments. Tonight, we’re going to consider that struggle: how do we worship when everything is going wrong?
Vessels: Worship
Today is going to be a deep dive into Romans 12:1, really pulling apart some of the individual words of the passage. While this verse on its own is really powerful, it starts with a “therefore,” which suggests to us that it is in response to a previous thought. We’re going to use this prompt to look into the context of the verses before it, and if you have time, to also go back into the context of sacrifices in the Old Testament. Hopefully this conversation will help us as Chrsitians to reform our ideas about what Worship looks like in our lives - not just during a service.
Worship is our outward response to an internal revelation of who God is.
One Another: BLESS
We believe a blessed life is a generous life. As followers of Christ, one of the distinctives of Christianity is charity, the most recognized verse in all of the Bible, John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He GAVE. When you become a disciple of Jesus, generosity should be a byproduct of your intimacy with Christ. The Church needs to have a generosity that grabs the attention of the World. We must give generously, cheerfully, and faithfully.
