We are challenged to live with a godly sense of urgency and to push back against complacency. We each are living a life with God preparing for opportunities He brings our way and fighting back against opposition that stands in our way. Richard encourages us with the story of David's preparation before defeating Goliath in 1 Samuel. We're invited to keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Ever-Expanding Impact
July 22, 2018 • Pastor Jack Schull
If you've ever skipped stones across a lake, you've seen what they call the 'ripple effect'. Friends, as God’s people and as The Church – we’re to have a ‘ripple effect’ = an ever-expanding reach of impact and influence for Jesus. Jesus said His Father is always working (see John 5:16-18) …and that He is always at work as well. We get to join in that work, to partner with God in His activity. God is still active friends. (he’s not distant, distracted, or dormant). He is active in an ever-expanding scope of work…within us, through our reach, within our city, all around our world.
Kingdom Identity
July 15, 2018 • Matthew Warnstedt
We live surrounded by voices speaking over us, around us and into us and seeking to shape our identity. We live in the tension of basing our identity off what the 'world' says we are or off what God says about us - leaning on our 'kingdom identity' in who and what God says we are. The truth for us to grab ahold of: you are not defined by who or what the world says you are, but by who and what God the Father says you are!
