Our Vision: to be people who are all about unleashing God's extravagant love on this city and around the world.
Our Mission is simple: to help people take their next step towards Jesus.

Then Gideon said to God, “If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised, prove it to me in this way. I will put a wool fleece on the threshing floor tonight. If the fleece is wet with dew in the morning but the ground is dry, then I will know that you are going to help me rescue Israel as you promised.” And that is just what happened. When Gideon got up early the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out a whole bowlful of water. Then Gideon said to God, “Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request. Let me use the fleece for one more test. This time let the fleece remain dry while the ground around it is wet with dew.” So that night God did as Gideon asked. The fleece was dry in the morning, but the ground was covered with dew. - Judges 6:36-40

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans - I will come to you." - John 14:16-18

That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” - John 20:19-22

“So now we must choose a replacement for Judas from among the men who were with us the entire time we were traveling with the Lord Jesus— from the time he was baptized by John until the day he was taken from us. Whoever is chosen will join us as a witness of Jesus’ resurrection.” So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they all prayed, “O Lord, you know every heart. Show us which of these men you have chosen as an apostle to replace Judas in this ministry, for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs.” Then they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven. - Acts 1:21-26

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. - Philippians 4:6

But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands... - Psalm 31:14-15

1. Have you ever had a big decision to make and you asked, “What’s Up God?” or more specifically asked God, “What should I do?” What happened?

2. When asking God for help in making a big decision, have you ever felt like he gave you two answers?

3. If you’re a Christian, what do you think about the idea of God’s Holy Spirit living in you?

4. What do you think about the idea of praying about everything (except maybe not the stuff you already know God doesn’t want you to do)?

5. You’ve got no fleece & no dice! But if you’re a Christian, you’ve got God’s Spirit in you to lead and guide you. And after asking God if there’s a particular direction he wants you to go in, you can say to God:

My life is in you I must keep believing
The decision I make is where you are leading
My times are in your hands 

And part of that idea comes from  Psalm 31:14-15: But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands...

So - when making a big decision (or even just waking up on a regular day), are you willing to say to God “My times are in your hands”?
