Pastor Mike Foell takes us through what the Bible has to say about fasting ahead of The Foursquare Church's 21 Days of Fasting to start the year of 2020.

There are times when the storms of life have waves beating us into submission. It's in those moments, when we can't make it on our own, that abundant living means reaching out and letting Jesus take us by the hand.

We experience rejection for a multitude of reasons and in a multitude of ways. Jesus sees the pain and brokenness we feel in rejection and has compassion on us to heal and restore us. Pastor Cami Wittwer explores two stories of how Jesus meets the rejected in this week's message.

"In this life you will have trouble." Jesus spoke this message both as a warning and an encouragement. Pain is inevitable, but Jesus overcame the world and all of its heartbreak. Pastor Ryan Oddo reflects on Jesus raising a man from the dead and how he met a widow in her grief.

Life is not always kind. The trials and tribulations of life can often lead to doubt and disillusionment, but Jesus wants to meet us in those moments and use us to meet others as well.

The Woman at the Well saw her life and priorities radically transformed by her single encounter Jesus. They say every journey begins with a single step and one step closer to Jesus has the power to change the world.

Jesus had a clear sense of the mission of His life and what the mission of the lives of His disciples ought to be. Pastor Garett McClure unpacks how He demonstrated this after His encounter with the Woman at the Well and what the Father's heart is for us as we engage a world in need of His love.

Our ultimate goal in meeting people where they are spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually is to help them connect with God on their own. Transformation is only accessible through the power of God at work in our lives. That connection is pivotal in seeing people renewed in the love and power of Jesus.

It is a powerful truth that the Holy Spirit knows each of our points of pain. As people who walk in the power of the Holy Spirit we have the ability to love each other through those places whether they be spoken or not. All we have to do is trust the Spirit and take the risk of obeying His voice.

Pastor Mike Foell Continues the series on John 4 and the Woman at the Well. He dives into the concept of living water, how the Woman at the Well engaged the concept, and how Jesus serves as an example to us to engage people in meaningful conversation no matter where they find themselves spiritually.

Jesus chose to encounter the woman at the well in a remarkable way despite the social barriers that existed between them. He broke through methodically with love and grace to meet her in her brokenness.

Ryan Oddo begins a new series titled "Going Out of Our Way" where he'll explore John 4 and the Woman at the Well. Here he works through John 4:1-6 and how Jesus met the woman at the well where she was - not only physically, but also spiritually and emotionally - and how we should too.

The world around us lives by a set of pressures to perform in certain ways in order to have value. God however, has declared us valuable simply for being His creation.

We're are free through grace to reach out to the lost and hurting. We're free to restore them in love. We're not bound by pride, condemnation, and legalism, but rather free to love unconditionally.

We look at how salvation through Jesus Christ didn't only save us from the Law, but saved us for something greater. In the Gospel of Grace we are given access to the Holy Spirit and empowered and permitted to live our lives under His guidance.

Pastor Ryan returns to begin Section 3 of Radical Grace titled The Liberating Gospel of Grace. He talks about the difference between conviction and condemnation and how, in Christ, we get to enjoy our lives free from the oppression of condemnation and shame.

In a world falling further and further into disarray it is incumbent on those mature in their faith to take responsibility for the next generation and declare that we will not let them slip away to the deception of the enemy.

Paul takes the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, and Isaac and applies it to life under the Law and life under Grace. He explains how life under the Law is one of bondage and slavery and life under Grace is that of the Promise.

Garett McClure unpacks the significance of the parent-child relationship that God the Father has chosen to include us in alongside Jesus Christ and how we're drawn into not only reverence for, but nearness to God through the Cross.
