Give Generously

At our church, it is our desire to serve our community and share the life-changing message of hope and truth in Jesus. We see giving as another way we can our worship God by generously and joyfully giving toward the ministry and mission he has called us to together.

Study of Revelation

Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don't we see it that way? Two thousand years ago, John's Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor.  Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from it's message. The same can be true for you today.
Over 9 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Joe Stewart helps you discover how the last book of the Bible-the culmination of God's great story-speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church of every age.

How are you finishing this year?

BIG IDEA TODAY:

Finishing the year strong isn’t about squeezing in more productivity—it’s about honest reflection, renewed faith, and intentional surrender as we step into what God is doing next.

GOAL 1:
Finish the year with REFLECTION, no REGRET
hey

Don't we sometimes wish we could stop time in it's tracks?

We often push past REFLECTION and move straight to RESOLUTIONS!

But GOD invites us to look back with HONESTY, not SHAME

QUESTIONS TO ASK AS WE FINISH THE YEAR:

Where did I see God this year?
Where did I resist Him?
What has this year formed in me?

IF WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING, ITS IMPORTANT TO SEE WHERE WE'VE BEEN

GOAL 1:
FINISH THE YEAR WITH REFLECTION, NOT REGRET

GOAL 2:
FINISH THE YEAR BY LETTING GO

hey

Letting Go

Some things must not be carried into the new year:
- Unforgiveness
- Guilt
- Disappointments
- False expectations of ourselves or God

LETTING GO IS AN ACT OF FAITH, NOT DENIAL

The best way to step into a new year is not with a plan, but with a posture.

This year doesn’t need to end perfectly to end purposefully.
CLOSING QUESTION:

What if the goal of the new year isn’t becoming someone new… but becoming more faithful to the One who is always making us new?
