This week we look at the invitation to freedom, and the spiritual abundance that comes from the discipline of simplicity in a life full of demands.
Read MoreThis Sunday we’ll look at God’s invitation to communion. As Jesus lived in ongoing communion with his Father, he now invites us, through him, to have that same ongoing relationship of communion with the God who loves us.

Read MoreThis Sunday we are finishing up our series on 2 Corinthians by looking at chapter 12:1-10, and the words of Jesus to Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The places of greatest struggle are the places where we can most powerfully experience God’s grace.
