Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor. Caleb has a whole-hearted Spirit...like Moses. This Spirit comes from faith in God; they have this faith because they can SEE three things: 1. What God has already done, 2. What God is doing right now, 3. What God will do. The connection between all three of these is prayer. Prayer is what connects us in the in-between times after God has shown us His wonder until we see God do it again. This faith enables us to live with a whole heart...

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor. God pours out His Spirit on a craftsman named Bezalel who was gifted to create beautiful pieces for the sanctuary. This artistry invites us to consider how God made us for eternal things. In Exodus, we find three gifts God gives us to help us experience eternity: slowness, synchrony, and sacred space. These gifts help us come into God's holiness....the experience of His presence.

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor. After 100s of years of praying, God answers Israel's prayers by sending a deliverer to rescue them from slavery in Egypt. However, the people are too discouraged to believe God will do it. God does not give up. He fills Moses with His spirit and invites Moses to encourage Israel (and us) in three ways:
1) Remember the stories and what God has already done.
2) Pray and ask God for a new story and see what God can do now.
3) Count the...

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor. God is at work in Joseph's life and he learns to trust God's sovereignty. His brothers think Joseph will get revenge against them, but he trusts God has been at work. When we understand God is at work, we don't have to stress, even when we don't understand everything. We recognize God is always working for our salvation, and we know how the story ends. We get to go home.

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor. Joseph has a dream. Actually, he has two dreams, but he is 17 and not ready for them. So he reacts badly, but it is not the end of the story. It gets worse, yet God continues to call him and Joseph continues to listen to His inner voice. Being filled with God's Spirit is a journey. Being filled with God's Spirit requires faith. And being filled with God's Spirit requires faithfulness. As Joseph holds onto his dreams and listens to God's...

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, presenting "The Good Life." God's Spirit brings blessing. Blessing in the Bible is associated with abundance...to be fruitful and multiply. Living with abundance means: I understand what real blessing looks like, I understand the source of my wisdom and strength, I understand life will always be difficult (but I have assurance of eternal life), and I understand God desires abundant relationships for me. It is never too late to heal them.

Our speakers this week are Pastors Cecilia Liversidge and Nicole Broushet, presenting "The Art of Dechomai." The book of Genesis is a place where we find beauty in word as God forms spaces and fills them with His essence. Seeing as we are created in His likeness, we can also create safe spaces for growth and connection. Let us be like Jesus, creating places of welcome and healing, filled with the love and intentionality of the Holy Spirit. Embrace the joy of being a safe space for others,...

Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, presenting "Re-Creation & Recreation." God's Spirit is always at work in His children. Through the Flood, God decided to destroy humanity in order to re-create it. In the Flood story, we see for what God created humanity. God made us for intimacy, not just sexuality. God made us for spirituality, not just religiosity. God made us for procreation, not just recreation. And God made us for mercy, not just justice. God longs to...

Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, Lead Pastor at College View Church. As we continue our series on "Fresh Fire," we find God's Spirit prompting humankind. The Spirit warns Cain about his impending sin; he refuses to listen. Yet, God does not leave him, and instead blesses him! In the same way, as the world falls into wickedness, God does not simply leave humanity; He contends with us and seeks a righteous man to bring hope and re-create our world. God invites us to go all in for Him.

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, presenting "How to Have Risky Hope." In Acts 5, the religious leaders imprison the apostles but an angel miraculously frees them. Now, the religious leaders and apostles have a choice to make. The religious leaders don't know what to do and just hope for the best, but the apostles have faith in God and His word, choosing to obey God rather than man. They choose risky hope.

Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, presenting "The Truth About Lies." In Acts 5, Ananias & Sapphira lie to God because they misunderstand three things about God. They do not understand 1) the nature of God (He knows all); 2) the character of God (He is good); and 3) the grace of God (He is Love). But God wants us to know Him. So He reveals His character, goodness, and grace constantly. When we understand who God is, we are under His blessing and see His power in our...

To have a heart for our FAMILY (a spirit of grace).

They claim Jesus is alive and they heal a lame man because of His power. It is part of God's plan. His plan also includes the people repenting; as they recognize their sin, repent, and turn to God, He will pour out times of refreshing.

As we celebrate communion this Sabbath, Jesus invites us to live in communion with Him and one another. The early church was devoted to God's word, fellowship, worship, and prayer. As we devote ourselves to these things, Jesus reveals His heart for us. We no longer consider others common, but can move to living in common with them. The bread and wine remind us that God takes common things and makes them beautiful. Join us this Sabbath as Simon Liversidge presents this message, "Living in...

As God's people live out their lives filled with His Spirit, we become witnesses to the living Jesus. Join us this Sabbath, June 15, as Simon Liversidge presents this message!

At Pentecost, Jesus answers His disciples' prayers and fulfills His promise by pouring out the Holy Spirit on them through the gift of tongues.
