March 5, 2023 • Rodney Arnold • Philippians 2:5–13
A flame is birthed inside each of us when we follow Jesus. But that’s only the beginning! Fanning that flame is a process that never ends. The Apostle Paul tells us how to determine our next step with Jesus each and every day, whether we're new to faith or have been following Him our whole lives, so the flame will grow and spread into a raging fire that impacts eternity.

March 6, 2023 • Brad Bullock • John 13
Almost nothing marks the life of a follower of Jesus more than the love they show for the world around them. Yet, if we're honest with ourselves, there are certain moments in life where love is incredibly difficult. Each of us knows what it's like to have a person that's hard to love or a behavior that's challenging to respond to in a loving way. Jesus knows exactly what this is like, and He also knows that the renewal of our spiritual lives often involves a revival in our capacity to love. In John 13, Jesus not only gives us an example of the love we need, but also a simple principle for living it out.
