Pack Light: Unpacking Empire

Empire and other violent systems of domination are sneaky - they end up as stowaways in our baggage (and even our bodies!). We need to intentionally unpack empire and break the generational systems of violence as we we move into true freedom.

Pack Light: Leaving (and Grieving) the Plagues

Even as we move into freedom, we still have to contend with the pain of the past. Come learn how to move through your emotions so you don't end up dragging with you a suitcase full of the locusts, frogs, and other plagues you've survived.

 

This season, the story of the Exodus has a lot to teach us about leaving behind what doesn't serve us as we prepare for what God has in store. Come prepare for the journey of 2021 by packing light - and by leaving behind the baggage of the past.

The Kingdom is like...Seeds That Grow

The kingdom of God is like a lush garden, where the seeds of the Good News have taken root in the souls of our soil, sprung up from the ground with hope, and borne the fruit of joy and abundance. How is the soil of your soul? Are you ready to grow the kingdom from the seeds you've been given?

The Kingdom is like...Trading Up

When you get a glimpse of the beauty of the Kingdom, are you willing to trade up the life you have for something truly better?

 

The words from Jesus this week remind us that we should never settle for the ways of the world, even if it means giving it all up for something far greater.
