Lent
Our theme this year, “Give Up and Give Out,” serves as a powerful antidote to that self-centered narrative. To help us put this into practice, we are following the 40acts program by Stewardship. It is a fantastic way to intentionally develop a heart of generosity
7 Foundations for Flourishing
It’s the beginning of our marriage week celebration and our focus for this session is on building flourishing relationships. We want to explore how to have good relationships, flourishing relationships that enriches our lives and the lives of those we encounter. We know marriages, families, communities, churches are all made up of individuals who bring self into all those relational dynamics.
Prayer and Fasting Day
The purpose of fasting should be to take your eyes off the things of this world to focus completely on God.
Fasting is a way to demonstrate to God, and to ourselves, that we are serious about our relationship with Him
Session One
David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! 47And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord’s battle, and he will give you to us!” – 1 Samuel 17:45-47
MARRIAGE WEEK | United
We want to move beyond just “getting by” and discover how to make the marriage journey inspiring, fresh, and deeply motivational—not just for ourselves, but for everyone we meet along the way. Your marriage is more than a private agreement; it is a vital building block for our communities and our nation. We believe that as we strengthen our marriages our homes are strengthened and so also is the soul of our nation.
One Step at a time
Theis teaching explore the life of Enoch and the spiritual significance of his individual commitment to walk with God. By contrasting the godless lineage of Cain with the righteous line of Seth, the texts illustrate how personal faith can withstand a corrupt society. The narrative highlights that Enoch’s extraordinary intimacy with the Creator resulted in him being taken to heaven without experiencing death. To follow this example, the texts encourage believers to devote their heart, soul, mind, and strength to a daily relationship with the divine. Ultimately, the materials suggest that living with spiritual intentionality allows individuals to reflect God’s presence and positively influence their wider community.
Day 10 : LIVING FRUITFULLY FOR GOD’S GLORY
The earth and the cosmos belong to God; He has only loaned them to humanity for a brief time. The true art of flourishing comes from knowing the Owner’s rules and designs and committing ourselves fully to His plans. Jesus’ metaphor is stark and simple: He is the Vine, and we are the branches. If a branch is broken off, its life is numbered—it loses the Vine’s protection and nourishment, and death quickly follows. Jesus’ promise is that those who remain (abide) in Him will become abundantly productive. Therefore, if this new year is to be a truly fruitful year, it must be lived in active, dedicated partnership with Jesus. Apart from Him, we can do nothing of eternal value.
Day 9 : GROWING IN GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE
The Christian life is not a static destination; it is a dynamic journey of perpetual growth. The Apostle Peter’s final instruction emphasizes a twin focus: Grace and Knowledge. Grace is the divine power that changes us and enables us to live righteously; Knowledge is the understanding of who Jesus is and what He has done, which anchors our faith. To truly flourish is to actively pursue deeper intimacy with Jesus in both these dimensions, rejecting spiritual complacency and embracing the daily process of becoming more like Him. Our growth is ultimately aimed at one goal: bringing Glory to Him.
Day 8 : BUILDING DEEPER IN GOD’S TRUTH
The truth is simple: we cannot refresh others unless we are first refreshed ourselves. While physical water is vital for life on Earth, God is offering something infinitely more valuable: Living Water. This is the water that ends the restless search, breathing deep contentment into our souls as we experience God’s infinite blessing. This is not a blessing that can be imposed corporately; it requires us to individually seek this outpouring from God so that we may, in turn, become a powerful conduit for blessing everyone around us. We are called to be channels, not reservoirs.
