Interior Examination
This month, we're working our way through some classic themes in spiritual formation and finding that holy rhythm that moves us from the journey inward to the journey outward. This week, we'll talk about the kind of inner seeking that almost feels like rebellion. And in a way, it is. It is a willingness to rebel against the cultural expectation that we keep our feelings to ourselves and present a shellacked image to the world. There is not much that's biblical about this. David railed against God. Jesus tossed tables. Job shook his fist at the Father. And those very stories teach us that these are the real and powerful responses that open us up most fully to the Father's heart. This Sunday, we'll talk about what happens when we let our "real" out and give God room to move.

Deliver Us From Evil
This is a message you don't want to miss! We have a special gift to share and are just so excited that we'll get to experience it together. We'll also talk about how to pray against the darkness, so that we are working in partnership with God to bring hope and healing where the enemy roams.

The One Thing I Desire
Do you remember our One Thing initiative earlier this year? In COVID time, it seems like it was about ten years ago that we were all talking "one thing," though it was only six months ago. In February we explored passages around the "one thing" theme and talked a lot about how to focus energy and faith toward the gifts God has given us. This Sunday, we revisit the most basic of those passages -- David's call in Psalm 27 to be in the presence of the Lord as worshipers. "One Thing I Desire" will remind us of the fundamental importance of intimate connection with God, and will call us to 30 days of prayer beginning August 1. Join us ... and restore your factory setting to what you were made for: to worship and enjoy our glorious God.
