It was one of Jesus' primary messages on Earth --- "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the kingdom of Heaven is near." --- but how are we actually living with a day-to-day urgency of this truth? What if we embraced the same heart that Jesus had towards those around Him? And how can we embrace a spirit of boldness to live out the calling that Jesus places on each and every believer in Him?

The Israelites experienced it. Jesus experienced it. You, either have or will, experience it. Although never easy, wilderness seasons are necessary. It's in the wilderness seasons of life that God shapes us in to the person that He desires us to be. But what perspective can we keep in the wilderness? What can we learn there? And what can happen if we use it to actually carry us into what God desires of us next?

When you think of the Holy Spirit, do you think of Him as a friend? The fact is, whether you do or not, that is His ultimate desire. But how can we reframe our thinking to see Him that way? Why does He even want to be a friend? And what does it look like when we put our full trust in His direction for our lives?

Are you under a weight? Weight is heavy. Weight is a burden. Weight can be crushing. But, it’s amazing how much weight can be lifted when we lift it up in prayer. This week, we take intentional time to pray over fours “weights” in life — the weight of worry, the weight of waiting, the weight of someone you love & the weight of wrestling.

It's a weighty thought to realize that we can disappoint and sadden the Holy Spirit. If we want to fully embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we must first understand that the Holy Spirit can be quenched. But how does it happen? When does it happen? And what can we do to attune to the sensitive nature of the Holy Spirit to ensure we allow Him to do what He wants, in and through our lives?

As believers, we are called to live as dedicated disciples of Jesus. But what does that look like? How do we move to a mindset of comfort to a mindset of growth? This week, Brent Hatchett brings a message calling the believer into a life from just coming to church to becoming the church.
