Unlikely Beginnings (Unlikely - Week 1)
It can be easy to look at the Bible and assume that spiritual growth is reserved for the spiritually elite. Thank the Lord the complete opposite is true! In this series, we will see how God often chooses unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary purposes. Moses’ life reminds us that our past, weaknesses, and doubts do not disqualify us from being used by God.

Salt and Light
Dave Choutka unpacks Jesus' invitation in Matthew 5 to be "the salt of the earth" and the "light of the world". As we think about how to live counterculturally in the world around us, salt and light are two primary ways that we can be Jesus to those around us each day! Use the "BLESS" acronym to pray through how God might be leading you to lovingly live out your faith in Him.
B — Begin with prayer
L — Listen
E — Eat
S — Serve
S — Share
