Behold! Seek First the Kingdom // Josh Williams
This summer, we hope to be witnesses of God’s Kingdom work. While we always hope to be people who behold God’s Kingdom regardless of the season, we are aware that prioritizing the Kingdom might fall on the wayside in our “post-pandemic” summer. What would it mean to seek first the Kingdom this summer? So much of our “reopened” life this summer focuses on what we want to do. This summer, first receive an invitation to behold the Kingdom. Then, see the fruit of becoming what you behold.

Grace on the Other Side: Following The Cloud & Glory // Josh Williams
Our Grace on the Other Side series wrapped up Sunday on Pentecost, the day we mark the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of God’s Church. Even though the Pentecost story is from the book of Acts in the New Testament, the Spirit has been working all through God’s story from the very beginning. Josh shared how the Spirit came at the end of Exodus, the account of God leading His people out of slavery in Egypt. As God led the people out of their collective trauma, God provided a Cloud & Glory of Presence & Fire for the people to follow. They already had a destination of the promised land; at the end of the story, they finally have a way of arriving there: God’s very presence.
