Great relationships are possible, but they’re not typical. God created and designed relationships for our good, and He provides relational wisdom that’s been proven effective for thousands of years. Our relationships often fail us, however, because we ignore God’s wisdom and allow the world to corrupt what God wants for us. What if we humble ourselves and allow God to lead us as we relate to one another? We can’t wait to see you for this practical series as we talk about how to do relationsh...

The Living One | Shock the World Week 4

April 02, 2024 13:50 - 33 minutes - 46.6 MB

Jesus changes everything! He didn’t come to just make life “a little better” for everyone; His life, death, and resurrection turned the world upside down. He wasn’t the Messiah everyone thought He would be, but He was the Messiah everyone needed. He redefined life and shocked the world by doing so. Jesus still expects His church to do the same. His way of life is anything but tame and boring. When we live the Jesus-shaped way of life, we transform the world around us.

Jesus promised His followers that He would not abandon them, but that they would be emboldened by the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

We can’t hold the wind, but we don’t doubt its existence. We can see the wind’s influence and power all around us. On the day the church began, God’s Spiri...
