God has called us out of being defeated, sleepy, and intimidated, to shine His light in creative and colossal ways. Topics include: Learning how to abide with Jesus together throughout the week Listening to God and receiving His grace Loving your neighbors with a surprising and sacrificial love Living intentionally to understand the times and redeem your calling Every Group is for small groups who want to break out of complacency and are tired of feeling stuck.
