PRAYER & PRAISE

Sometimes we need prayer. Sometimes we have a reason to praise God. And sometimes we just need to know that somebody is willing to stand with us.

So let's check in with each other!

Is there something you'd like prayer for this week?

Has God answered a prayer, opened a door, or reminded you of His faithfulness lately?

Share as much or as little as you're comfortable with in the comments. If you are more comfortable messaging us your prayer requests or praise we are always here.

And remember, you don't have to have everything figured out to come to God. You can come to Him right in the middle of it.

Let's encourage one another and keep growing together!

Don’t forget we are meeting tonight to continue our series “Adulting in the grey”

Tonight we are going to talk about career vs calling.

Bring your Bible and a friend!

See you tonight from 6-7:30pm

What a great first night back! Tonight we talked about anxiety and how God calls us in Philippians 4:6-7 to trust Him. We dove into God's words in Matthew 6:25-34 exploring what God says about worry. We talked a lot about the "what Ifs" in life and this week I want you to really practice bringing all your worries and anxiety to God.

Every time you catch yourself saying “What if…”, turn it into a prayer.

“What if I fail?” → “God, help me trust You if I fail.”

“What if I don't know what to do?” → “God, give me wisdom for the next step.”

Don't ask God to show you the entire staircase.

Ask Him to help you take the next faithful step.

We can't wait to see everyone again in two weeks on October 18th where we will be talking about Career vs. Calling & The side hustle of Stewardship.

📖 𝗕𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞! ❤️

After a crazy busy summer, we finally sat down and picked a date to get our Bible study back up and running—and we couldn’t be more excited! 🙌

Our first meeting will be 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝟲:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠, and we’ll meet every other Sunday through December. Our January is a little up in the air with foals due but we will figure out next years schedule in December so everyone knows.

For our first series in October, we’ll be diving into “𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆.” We’ll be talking about some real-life topics that we all face:

✨ Anxiety
✨ Career vs. Calling
✨ The Side Hustle of Stewardship

Life doesn’t always come with clear black-and-white answers, and we’re looking forward to digging into what God’s Word has to say about navigating those “grey” areas of life.

And of course, we can’t have Bible study without food! 😂
🍕 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮! After that, we’ll take a vote on what I should make for the next meeting.

We are SO excited to get back together, open God’s Word, share some good conversation, laugh a little, eat some good food, and grow together in our faith. ❤️

We can’t wait to start this new series with all of you!

He is risen… just as He said. ✝️

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples: He has risen from the dead…” — Matthew 28:6–7

Today is a reminder that the grave could not hold Him, and darkness could not overcome the promise. What once seemed like the end became the greatest victory the world has ever known.

The stone was rolled away—not so He could get out, but so we could see in… and believe.

Because He lives, there is hope where there was fear.
Because He lives, there is life where there was death.
Because He lives, your story is not over.

Go quickly and share the good news—He is risen!

What a great night last night hanging with everyone last night. We will be meeting again on Sunday the 29th at 6pm.

We continued our discussion this week on real vs. fake christians and how to make sure we are following God and not the world.

I gave everyone a little bit of "homework" for this coming weekend so that we can learn to respond in a biblically way if we must respond.

The following statements I want you to ask yourself two questions.
1. Is this True or False?
2. What Scripture would you use to respond?

Statements:
1. God just wants you to be happy.
2. Loves means never confronting someone.
3. It doesn't matter how you live as long as you believe.
4. The Bible is outdated.
5. You should always follow your heart.

We invite anyone to come and join this discussion as we continue our series this week.

We will be having a Taco bar on the 29th.

Bring your appetite, a friend, and your Bible. And this week bring your answers to the statements so we can all learn from each other in a Biblically way to respond to things.

I look forward to seeing everyone again Sunday!!

Faith is not being perfect.
Faith IS choosing Jesus again and again.

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek him". - Hebrews 11:6

As we get ready to meet this Sunday and continue our discussion about discerning faith I would like everyone to think about some questions.

1. What makes faith difficult at your age?
2. How can someone grow in faith?
3. What does real faith look like at school or your workplace?

We are excited to dive into the word this weekend we are on week 3 of our series of Discerning true faith in a confused world. (We will do a recap of week 1&2 since it has been a few weeks)

This week we will be discussing the Warning signs of false christianity.

Remember with this we need to stick to what God says in the bible and not what the world tells us. Come with your thought and questions and we will dive into the scripture to help us navigate this topic.

As always we will provide dinner. All we ask is you bring your bible and a friend.

Can't wait to see everyone again!

Dear Friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world - 1 John 4:1

We will be meeting tonight to start our new series Real or Fake? - Discerning True Faith in a Confused World

We will start by talking about what it means to be a Christian and how God calls us to be. Because how do we figure out who is a real Christian and who is Fake if we don’t know what God says. Join us tonight starting at 6pm as we explore Gods word.

We will be having Sloppy Joes.
