From the beginning of time, God has given people a choice. It's a choice to walk in life, or to walk in death. To have freedom or bondage. To survive or to thrive. It's a choice we find at the very beginning of the Bible, in a story about two trees. And it's a story that changes everything today. Life, or death. The choice is yours.

When we give back to God, where are we giving from? Our firsts or our lasts?

This week we'll dig into a principle that can be a little hard to swallow, but impacts our relationship with God in significant ways.

Have you ever held a grudge? Maybe it was a stupid one, or maybe you really deserved to hold it. No matter who you are, there are times in life we’re so offended we hold on to things. Unfortunately for some of us those grudges build up over time and keep us from all God has for us. In other words, grudges can keep us stuck in the past, and prevent us from God’s future.
This week we’ll unpack a powerful Biblical principle from the story of Joseph, and begin a journey to be free of the offenses of the past, so we can move fully into God’s future.
Sometimes when God calls, things don’t go how we imagine. It’s easy to think that must mean we read wrong, or God picked the wrong person, or we’ve failed Him in some way. But the truth is that no matter where the journey leads, God is with you, God is for you, and God will never fail you.
