Essentials - Back to Basics

Celebrate Pentecost - It's time to catch fire! Pentecost is the day we see Christians catching on fire. No, not literally but instead, the presence of God through the Holy Spirit as fire. And this fire comes to them in different ways and is expressed in different ways too. Today let's look at three ways that we can catch fire too.

Togetherness, intimate companionship, comes from spending quality time with God. This may sound like a foreign idea, but spending time with God is literally the number one way to live a life that overflows into love, joy, and peace.

God wants you to know that God sees you. God sees your big heart and your desire to change the world. And God wants you to know that your actions do matter and that you matter.

Easter is a celebration of a God whose love never fails

This is the one who calls us to follow. We can always ask which is the real Jesus?

Yes, it is both. The human Jesus and the divine Christ. Join us as Rev. Rick Vance leads this week for Transfiguration Sunday
