When you’ve looked at something upside down your whole life, rightside up looks like upside down. As we begin Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, His rightside up can look very upside down. In the Kingdom, the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
We've talked about receiving a forgiving heart from the Father. Now let's talk about receiving a missional heart from the Father, that’s fit for eternity. What is the one thing God wants from us? And what does it mean to make God your one thing? Join us on Sunday as we drive into this topic.
Forgiveness. It's hard. Is it instantaneous or a process? Is it something I'm supposed to "feel" or just do? How do we access God's grace to walk out forgiveness? Come join us Sunday and we'll learn from Jesus as He gives us a master class on how to forgive and the freedom that comes with it.
People say "we don't go to church, we are the church" but what does that mean? If we are the church, how does that shape our values? How does that shape our lifestyle? On a deeper level, how does the church become the ground through which God's heart is formed in us?

Do you find it difficult to talk to people about your faith? How can we trust God in sharing the gospel to others? We will talk about the ways we can find common ground and build a genuine connection this Sunday. For now, pray humbly and ask God to give all of us grace in sharing the Word.
