What if we could have so much joy it couldn't stay inside us? What if, like a cup of water we fill too full we had so much joy it just spilled out onto the people around us? That might make 2021 a little better than 2020!
Jesus himself said that kind of joy was available to us. So how do we access it? This week we'll dig into what Jesus said and learn the secret to finding an overflowing joy.
This week we'll start our year by getting our focus right. We'll learn who our real enemy is and how to fight the right battles.

Trust is the most important part of any relationship. But for many of us we live day in and day out trusting our money more than God, and when we live that way we'll never experience God's blessings in our lives. This week we'll look at our trust problem with money and learn how to break the power it has over us.

What happens when God lets us down? When the person we've prayed for dies, or the marriage we've begged God to heal falls apart? What happens when everyone around us seems to get ahead, but we just get further and further behind while we're trying to follow God every day?
Sometimes we get angry with God. This week we'll talk about how to deal with that, how to forgive God (even though he doesn't actually need it), and how to start dropping our forgiveness baggage to move forward .

Do you remember a good fight from middle school or high school? While a couple kids brawled some kids stood in the back while others stood around yelling "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!". This is too much like our modern political landscape isn't it? What's the role of a Christian in the fight? For too long we've been the ones fighting, but maybe that's not actually our job at all.

God gave us the most incredible gift in Jesus Christ. So what should we do with that gift? It all begins with understanding the weight and seriousness of it. Instead of living life however we want, Christians should begin by feeling the gravity of salvation in our own lives. Until we’re willing to put our big boy pants on we can’t really do much for God.

Do you have some people in your life that you just tolerate? Who grate on your nerves and don’t leave a lot of room to be loved? Sure we are supposed to love everyone, but people don’t make it easy sometimes. Have you ever felt like you were on the other end of that stick? Just tolerated? The truth is, we all filter the ideals and practicalities of WHAT love is, through the lens of personal experience. This often leaves us with a very shallow view of what love, much less the kind God gives, can be. But God’s love is unconditional. He chooses us, and chooses to love us through our brokenness and humanity. This week we talk about what being chosen means, and how it can change the way you see and interact with the world.

Remember when there was dial up, answering machines, newspapers, and Encyclopedias? When the instantaneous access to the world’s information was barely even a dream? When life just seemed to move more slowly? When there just simply wasn’t as much noise to keep us constantly distracted? In the overwhelming stress and anxiety of everyday life, how do we make time to pause? WHEN could we, even if it sounded like an amazing idea? This week we get real about how important peace is, to living a fulfilling life, and some simple and practical applications.

So many of our prayers are repetitions we have heard since childhood. “Now I lay me down to sleep” has its place, but so many of us never move on to more challenging conversations with God. True relational growth pushes us out side of our comfort zone, and grows in ways we hardly ever expect. The same should be true of our relationship with God. This week, we turn to some of the last words Jesus ever spoke: words that challenged his followers, and continue to do so now. Be careful though, taking these words to heart could change everything.

Worship: what is it? this word has been adopted by the church, but has been used for centuries. People worship all kinds of things, though they may not realize it. Is it celebrity, fashion, power, influence, or just shiny new stuff? Many people have a different image in their heads of what this word really even means. What are we worshipping? What about the kind of worship that could change us for the better? In part two of this series, we dive into the most excellent type of worship that most of us don’t even take time to think about.
