At Thanksgiving, it is common to focus our gratitude on our family gatherings, on great food, on our material comforts, our possessions, enjoyable relationships, and other beautiful blessings. There is no doubt that these are blessings! And we should Thank God for them. Gratitude leads to generosity, joy, hope, peace, connection, humility, and so much more. This is a spiritual practice that not only gives praise to God, but creates a Christlike image within us. Gratitude centers and grounds us in the moment and allows the Holy Spirit to move through us. We Thank God for doing only what God can do!

In order to “See the People” beyond ourselves, we will look to the book of Luke as a guide for how to see through the lens of mission, compassion, discipleship, question and participation. What do each of these look like to a follower of Jesus’ way? What can we learn and apply to our lives today? How do we learn to see, reach and make a difference in the world around us, really?
Who are we called to see? To whom should we extend our reach? Is praying for those in need, lost, without salvation enough or should we be doing, going, trying more? Join us for a five week discussion on what it means to actually see and be drawn to reach toward our neighbors, their curiosity, concerns and needs. We will close this series with an experiential day of seeing and reaching beyond our walls and into our community.
In our sermons, we will dig deeper into several of the critical components of our faith; a faith we hold fast to as a church, and a faith that enables us to achieve a holiness that emboldens us as we strive to Follow Jesus, Build Real Relationships, Grow in Real Discipleship and Experience Real Transformation.
