In week 1 of our Maintain the Gain series, Pastor Brian talked about how experiences in our lives have an impact both on how we see the world today, and how we handle situations that come our way. Similarly, when we are truly wrecked by the good news of the Gospel, we are compelled to living a life of serving others for the Lord. And when we celebrate that kind of living, we will accelerate it!

In the final week of our Surviving Success series Jayson talked about how our worldly thirst can trap us, so instead we need to be intentional to focus on how we can use our success for His purpose and to further his kingdom.

One of the greatest dangers of success is a "me-focused" life. When things are going your way it's easy to become self involved which can lead to being less connected, less empathetic and more likely to participate in self indulgence. Pastor Brian encourages us to instead feed our hearts with the Holy Spirit and establish an others-focused structure and use our resources and success to bless others.

Pastor Brian presented four dangers that can arise when we rely on our own strength during seasons of winning. Declaring praise in victory and recognizing God is working even throughout the small details are just a few of the ways he mentioned that can help keep us on a path to surviving success!

Jesus offers peace even when we feel stuck and trapped. The resurrection proves he has the power to bring that peace and joy and puts our problems into perspective.

Dan Seaborn closed out our Chasing the Bag series teaching on what true prosperity looks like as a follower of Jesus.
