Description:Illuminate 2 Cor 3:11-13, 16-18; Acts 6:5,7,8,15; Acts 7:48, 55 "...everyone in the high council stared at Stephen, because his face became as bright as an angel's." (Acts 6:15) There is a phrase in French, "je nais sais quoi", that attempts to describe a quality that is indescribable. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was so full of the Spirit that God's presence literally shined off of his face. It was a quality that was so strange and indescribable that it caused people to ask, "what is it with that guy?" As we walk the journey of our lives with Jesus, we carry His very presence with us. God's glory will be so luminous that it will cause those around us to say, "there is something different, something indescribable about you.. what is it with you?" And may our answer be, "It is the very presence of God." Come Sunday July 3rd to learn more about Stephen and what it means not only to imitate Jesus but to also carry His very presence.

Description:Thrive 1 Kings 19:19-21; Gen 45:4-7; 2 Kings 6:13-14, 19; John 8:31-32; 1 Kings 19:21 We expect life to be manageable, tidy, and easy. And we view spiritual life in the same way - where God is controlled and spiritual results are expected. The right answer to a prayer. The right church that meets all of our wants and needs. Yet, life and spirituality does not work that way. In a certain respect, they're a beautiful mess. Ordinarily we avoid messes. They're ugly, they smell and turn us away. But think of mess as the real complexities that come our way, the issues and challenges that come at us from varied directions, and where new life or new growth can come forth out of decay and loss. Perhaps you're in the midst of a mess right now, or you look back on one with deep shame and regret. You begin to believe that you can fix them. With enough effort and enough hours, you think you can clean these up. To Thrive! means to give yourself fully to God because He can take our messes and re-create, re-shape, and re-form something unexpected: beauty. You are God's masterpiece - a work of art, created to thrive and flourish. Begin your summer by joining us in June for a three part series on how to Thrive!
