Flourish, Fellowship!

Let it Shake

April 5, 2020 • Joe Johns

COVID-19 is shaking our society to the core. Life as we know has been disrupted like never before, and we all feel it. But to those whose hope is not in Christ, this shaking brings despair and searching, not hope or gratitude. This is an unprecedented time for Gospel. How will we respond?

Flourishing IN Lockdown

March 29, 2020 • Joe Johns

Life in virus lockdown won’t be easy. But it doesn’t have to be unhealthy. We can flourish even in lockdown, if we heed Paul’s instruction regarding the IN dimension of our discipleship and the household in which we live it.

Flourishing in COVID-19

Jesus had a flourishing relationship with his Father. This relationship sustained him through good time and tough times. Through Jesus, this flourishing is also available to us. So how can we flourish--even in COVID-19--in relationship to God and ourselves?

A Flourishing Discipleship

March 8, 2020 • Joe Johns

God made us to flourish, but sin makes us perish. The only road back to flourishing is through discipleship to Jesus. Many profess to believe in Jesus, but few actually live lives that flourish in the way Jesus says is, and models as, possible. How can we flourish more as disciples of Jesus? Today, we look to Peter and Jesus, himself, for direction.

A Life That's Flourishing

March 1, 2020 • Joe Johns

We were made to flourish, but sin brings perishing. Now, flourishing results from obeying Jesus. By his spirit, Jesus is willing to teach us how to live the fullest kind of life possible—full of joy, peace, contentedness, self control, etc (despite our circumstances!) Disciples are those who are committed to living Jesus-like lifestyles that flourish in every relational direction—Up, Down. In, Out.
