In our first episode of 2024, the Discipleship Team talks about spiritual goal-setting for the year, starting with our annual 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting on January 11th. We are so excited for this time of spiritual renewal and commitment individually and as a church. Here are some resources to help guide you through this journey.

Beyond Sunday 2023: Confident Hope

As we wrap up our final Beyond Sunday episode of 2023, Angela, Kevin, Dustin, and Aaron talk about the meaning of Advent, a time symbolizing hope and anticipation. Our discussion is anchored in the powerful words from the Apostle Paul in Romans 15:13, "I pray that God, the source of Hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident Hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." This verse sets the tone as we close this year and look forward to starting another. In a year that has been a mix of triumph and trial for many, we rest in God's promises and His presence. Whether you're limping towards the year's end or celebrating its successes, we encourage you to reflect on how you've seen God move in your life, in your family, and in our church. Let's step into 2024, standing firm on the unwavering hope that only Jesus provides.

As always, we encourage our listeners to participate in our prayer wall and share their prayer requests via email.
