Everybody is great of giving nuggets of advice, support, or
sympathy. They come in handy when we want people to feel better. But
what if the guidance you’re giving or receiving just isn’t true? What if
God Never Said That?

you happy".  It these myths that keep us from having growing in our walk with Jesus.

Kainos - Wrap Up - Getting Dirty

This is the final week in our series "Kainos".  We're going to wrestle through...a deeper question: What does love require of me?  The short answer is to "get dirty".  The longer answer will take a bit of effort to process...but is a necessary part of growing in your relationship with Jesus.

Its Just a Phase - So Don't Miss It - Wk 2

Jesus was amazingly clear when ask what was the greatest commandment...Love the Lord your God with all you heart, soul and mind...and Jesus was quick to add there is a second part equally as important...love your neighbor as yourself. This week we will unpack this statement to an even easier concept:  Love God and Love Others.  Its a logical statement building on last weeks belief that "every child is created in the image of God."  We will talk about how these understandings radically change how minister to families and their children.We also shared the story of an amazing 9 year old, Ezra Frech, and how he has grown through the difficulties life has place before him.
