Inside Out
SCRIPTURE: Mark 1: 1-15 (The Message)
We continue our worship series on change. Last week, we were reminded that the Creator God made us for change, creating an amazing physical body, a curious mind, and a willing spirit to grow and change over the course of our lives. It is what makes life vital and is the bedrock for our spiritual path.

Everything Changes
SCRIPTURE: John 12: 20-26 (The Message)
We continue our worship series on change. The first two weeks of our series helped us examine and expand our own understanding about our capacity for change. We were reminded that the Creator God made us for change, and we are being made new always from the inside-out by the ever-creative Spirit of God within us. Our spiritual growth is deeply connected to our ability to embrace change.
