Sometimes we treat our faith as something that is supposed to be private. As we see in Acts, God calls us to a faith that is both private and public.

We have a desire to leave an impact and change the world for the better. The end of Acts chapter 4 and Acts chapter 5 shows us the key to leaving an impact on the world.

Peter and John speak to the leaders of the day with boldness in Acts 4. If we want to be bold we need to walk closely with Jesus.

Every good story has a meaning. As we continue in the book of Acts, the story we encounter has an unexpected meaning.

As the book of Acts continues we see the development of the early Church and it begs the question. How can we be more like the early Church?

The Holy Spirit is the third and often unfamiliar person of the trinity. Pentecost shows us the ministry of the Holy Spirit and how Jesus is glorified.

We see the disciples in Jerusalem reflecting, looking ahead, and waiting. In our lives this period can be scary but we need to lean into the person of God.

Jesus' last words give us purpose in our lives today. So lets go do what Jesus commands us to do when we follow Him.

What would God have for us? Stan walks us through 1 Samuel 14 and the story of how the Lord used Johnathan's faith to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistine army.

We all want to leave a legacy and maybe we haven't done that so far in our lives. As we look forward to 2020 we need to focus on what it means to leave a Godly legacy.

God's sovereignty gives us peace today even when it doesn't make sense to us.

When we live in light of God's sovereignty it says things about our lives through our sins, sacrifices, and salvation.

When we live like God is here, we can be there for people around us.

Luke Hettinger

We continue learning about God with the life of Joseph. He rides a rollercoaster of life situations and has to fight for his integrity before God and man.

Judah one of Jacob's sons goes his own way and causes chaos for his family and those around him and just like Judah we cause chaos around us.

It becomes clear that God is going to use Joseph in a special way and his bothers become jealous and bitter. We can find much wisdom in Joseph's introduction in the book of Genesis for our own lives and the jealousy we have in our own hearts.

As Jacob returns to Bethel God is teaching him what His goal is for Jacob; this is the same goal for us today. God wants to transform us into His image to fill the earth with more of God's image.

Jacob's daughter Dinah is raped by a king's son and held captive while they negotiate with Jacob and his family. We see how devastating sin can be if left unchecked on both sides of the story.

Jacob's life changes when he encounters God on his way home.
