Hey folks! Make sure to check out this video continuing our sessions on GROWING DEEPER - In this video we are talking about your identity. Remember, this is so important for us to get right! Our culture wants our identity to be tied up in many other things, but Jesus just wants our identity to be found in HIM! So, how do we do that better? Take a listen and find out! Link in bio!!!

THURSDAY 7:00 - ZOOM! I AM THAT I AM; This is Go

THURSDAY 7:00 - ZOOM!

I AM THAT I AM; This is God’s introduction to Moses that… GOD is.

Jesus, 2000 years later, echoes the essence of these statements by repeating them and applying them in new ways in the Gospel of John. By doing so, Jesus claims to be God… THINK ABOUT THAT!

These statements help us grow deeper in our understanding of who Jesus is, and challenge the cultures view on things such as salvation - The growing idea in the cultural landscape is that ALL roads lead to heaven… but Jesus doesn’t think so. This leads us to one conclusion… Jesus was crazy, or he was telling the truth! What do you think? Join us at 7:00 for that and a whole lot more!

Oh, and by the way, we are going to be connecting with one another and having some good ol’ laughs too ….. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT - Need the link? DM ME!

PS…Go and read them…. ALL OF THEM! They are as follows - John 6:35, 8:12, 10:9, 10:11,14, 11:25, 14:6, 15:1,5.

See you Thursday!

THURSDAY YOUTH - ZOOM

SEEK FIRST

GUYS, 2021 is here! 2020 was difficult, but as I reflect on the year, I recognize this one thing; We had God, each other, and we GREW in our faith.

Speaking of which, where have you decided to grow in your faith? Remember, that was our goal this year! Now, as we look to 2021, we have a number of things in mind. Where God was in 2020, where we want to continue to grow in 2021, and specifically, for this Thursday, we are going to be talking about SEEKING GOD’S KINGDOM FIRST! If we get this right, 2021 is bound to be good!

We are going to connect together, have fun, and learn from God’s word!

Also, read ahead in Matthew 6:33 because that is our scripture for this week!

See you Thursday! 7:00pm!

HI GUYS! Check out this new YT video. In it, we discuss our new nature, which comes from Christ’s death and resurrection on the cross, and the battle that comes from killing the old self when it comes back to haunt us!

In life, we will constantly be reminded of our old selves, especially because the devil wants to keep us in a place of condemnation for the wrong things we have done. So, our job as christians is to call those old things DEAD and believe we are new creations in Jesus! In this video, we discuss just how to do it! Link is in bio!
