Whether it’s the first day of kindergarten, moving into your first home as a married couple, or welcoming your first child, new seasons require us to learn, grow and adapt to changed surroundings. As Joshua leads God’s people to the edge of the Promised Land, they stand on the threshold of a new identity. They are no longer slaves; they are becoming a nation. No longer wanderers; they are becoming warriors. Soon they will be builders, landholders and city dwellers. But they are still called to be faithful to Yahweh. They must still be worshippers, devoted to the covenant they received on their Exodus journey. Becoming the people God calls us to be is a lifelong journey of learning to be His in the changing circumstances of life. But God is always faithful to His promises, even when we fail. God is always ready to reclaim and restore. God is always the architect of our days, no matter the challenges and changes within them. Join us as we learn to be different under the joyous shaping of God’s hand on our lives.

LIVING WORDS
The Bible is more than just a collection of ancient words. It is the Living Word of God — spoken through prophets and apostles, priests and kings, and ultimately through Jesus himself. Words written centuries ago that are still alive and speaking into our lives today. But to live these words, we first need to understand them. Love. Gospel. Disciple. Devotion. Mission. Repentance. Salvation. Worship. Stewardship. Kingdom. They’re words we hear often. Words that are central to our faith. But do we really understand what they mean? Join us as we rediscover the true meaning behind some of the Bible’s most familiar — and perhaps least understood — words and concepts. Because when we understand these Living Words, we can begin to live them.
