1 Thess. 4:3, Prov. 16:2, Col. 3:17 Divine Direction: "Power to Become"


You haven’t finished your life story. What will you do with the blank pages? The choices you make today will lead you one way or another—but when you know who to trust, you'll always be headed in the Divine Direction.

In this series, we will learn how to seek God's will for our lives and how He cares more about who we are than what we do.

Hebrews 4:14-16 "Let Us Come Boldly"



In this message we'll remember who we are by considering God's invitation to come boldly before His throne. While in the Old Testament, the Israelites were afraid to approach God, in the New Testament the dynamic of our relationship has dramatically changed. We have been adopted as God's children. We have the same kind of access to God as a child has to their parent. We can come without fear. We come to God in prayer with all our needs and simply to enjoy His presence. Your 'image of God', the way you see God, whether from an Old Testament big guy in the sky view or a New Testament Abba and friend, makes all the difference in how you approach Him.

Hebrews 4:14-15 "Let Us Hold Firmly"



Jesus has been where we've been, he's hurt like we've hurt, he's been tempted like we've been tempted, and yet, he did not sin. The good news is because Jesus overcame, we can overcome as well. What do we do? We hold firmly to what we believe. And we believe that Christ is redeeming all things, even our trials, failures and hurts.

Hebrews 4:1-11 "Let us Enter His Rest"



This week we begin a new three week series entitled "Let Us".  The first message is "Let us Enter His Rest". The rest we are invited to enter isn't something reserved for when this life is over, but it is a rest we can begin enjoying now.  In fact, one of the most spiritual things we can do is "rest". This is a counter cultural message that will take discipline to embrace and practice.
