Come and See What God has Done: we see this phrase
used in several psalms, but do we ever take the time to
stop and think about the amazing things God has done in
our lives? This Summer, we’ve invited numerous people
to share their own experiences of God’s work, and we’re
so eager to celebrate His faithfulness while growing in
hope and purpose.

The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts,
and beliefs around ourselves. “It’s all about ME!” In the
world’s philosophy, we become the author and hero of
our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one
where another hero—the actual Author of Life—takes
center stage. In the book of Job, God asserts His
preeminence and displays His power. Join us in this
journey with Job and explore the overriding truth that we
exist, not for ourselves, but to glorify the God who
deserves all worship and praise.

Hate is on the rise. Our world is increasingly polarized,
and fear causes us to label more people and
organizations as “opponents.” But we’re called to love
like God loves, and He loved us first—even when we
were still opposed to Him (1 John 4:19, Eph. 2:4-5).
Come hear practical lessons from our friend Don
McLaughlin as he challenges us to imitate God’s love in
action.

How do we have hard conversations—ones where we
disagree with people we care about—without sacrificing
the relationship? We live in a culture that seems to have
lost its ability to disagree respectfully. This class will
focus on the things that make these conversations
challenging and how we can overcome them. We will talk
about how to maintain a peaceful spirit during any
difficult conversation. This class will include some
theoretical teaching on conflict as well as practical
examples from experiences within the class.

Each week a team from Southwest prays over the
church. Our desire is to put God at the center of our lives
and invite Him to use this body to bring Him glory. Join
us each Sunday morning at 8:30 as we pray over the

The Chosen is a recent film series following the
ministry of Jesus, and they have done a
fabulous job bringing the stories of scripture to
life! Many of us have found this series
meaningful, insightful, and inspiring. This
Summer, we will gather as a church family to
watch the eight episodes of Season 2.
