God doesn’t invade our lives, He comes by invitation. This past Sunday, guest Pastor Phil Pringle leader and founder of the C3 Movement preached a powerful message on making room for God in this Christmas season. Make Jesus your one thing that you pursue. He's not a threat to your dreams.
The reason we can live without fear is because God is with us. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message of faith from the perspective of Mary from Luke 1. From Mary's faith we we see that it’s the power of the Holy Spirit that enables us to carry Jesus, not more of our effort. Whatever we are facing, let's place our expectation on something He promises to do. His word will not fail us.
As we end this year as team C3 let's look to the water, to the source in Jesus Christ and dig a new well. This past ALLIN Team Night, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on digging another well from Genesis 26. Don’t stop digging, there is living water below the dirt and in every place you dig a well the world around it will be blessed. In 2019, wherever it takes you dig another well. Jesus is your source. He is your living water.
Hope is not optimism, but a promise. God desires to take us from hopelessness and despair to joy. This past Sunday, Pastor Luis Guerrero preached a message kicking off our Advent series on HOPE. Our hope is dependent on the person of Jesus. When our hope is based on something other than Jesus, it becomes unreliable. When we look to Jesus as our hope we can look back and see His faithfulness in our past and trust that He has secured our future.
