What did Jesus mean when he said that he came so that we might have life and life to the fullest? In our Thrive series we are going to look at a number of spiritual habits that can help us to grow our relationship with God. This week we look at fasting and unplugging. What might it look like to intentionally forgo some things for periods of time to remind us of our dependence on God, and to connect with him more closely?
Everyone is looking for you! This feels like a common refrain in most of our lives, whether it is said explicitly, or through phone notifications, or asks to join another team, take on another project, do another initiative. Yet, we see in Jesus’ life that he often takes time away from it all to be with God, to be quiet, to experience stillness. To go to a quiet place.
Asking why is such a simple and complex question. It has the ability to cut to the core of things with one simple word. In 1 Peter, the question is why do we place our hope in Jesus? Bill will share a bit of his why in his walk with Jesus.
As the holiday season comes to an end, we prepare ourselves for the hurry of school, sports, and work getting back to “normal”. In this hurry we can lose a valuable sense of stillness and peace. Join us as we work through what it means to look to Christ for peace and how presence with him is our ultimate goal.
