    22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter.

Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” 8 But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. 9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” 10 And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Genesis 39:6-10 (NIV)

    Bloom: Everything You Need | Week 3 | Add Knowledge to your faith and to your goodness

    For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 1 Peter 1:5 What does make every effort mean? The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) Knowledge = the facts about your faith in Jesus. Learn God’s Word so that you can live God’s Word so you can be confident you are doing God’s Will How can you make every effort to add knowledge? Get a Bible that you can understand English Standard Version (ESV)New American Standard Version -1995 (NASB)New International Version (NIV)New Living Translation (NLT)The Bible was written to be read out loud The Bible was written to be understood, but it takes work Be like Apollos 24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately. Acts 18:24-26 (NIV)For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. 2 Peter 1:8-9 (NIV)

    Bloom: Everything You Need | Week 1 | From Knowing to Growing

    In this episode, we kick off our new series Bloom by diving into 2 Peter 1:1–4 and exploring the difference between simply knowing about God and truly knowing Him through a lived, relational experience. It’s possible to have all the right information and still miss the transformation. Peter writes with urgency, knowing his time is short, reminding believers that we already have everything we need for a godly life through Christ. The question is: are we just hearers of the Word, or are we doers? Aaron unpacks:  The difference between head knowledge and heart transformation  Why your faith is just as “precious” as anyone else’s  How real spiritual growth actually happens  What it looks like to move from hearing God’s Word to living it out If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith or wondered how to grow spiritually, this message will challenge and encourage you to take the next step.

    Share The Gospel | Week 14 | The Spirit of God brings you life | Easter Sunday

    16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 (NIV) Good news: You can be right with God through faith in Jesus! You are valuable to God. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:10-11 (NIV) You have value to give from God

    Share The Gospel | Week 12 | Living By Grace Is Being A Peacemaker | March 22

    Didi Bacon shares a timely message from Romans 14, calling us to move away from division and toward unity in Christ. In a world quick to judge and argue over differences, we’re reminded that we are all recipients of God’s grace and called to extend that same grace to others. This message challenges us to lay down judgment, remove obstacles for one another, and intentionally pursue peace and encouragement. What would it look like for you to be a peacemaker and an uplifter in your everyday life?
