Our Journey to now

Our journey to build an Unshakeable Faith and Release Gods Unshakeable Love has taught us this:

Spiritual maturity is having a healthy relationship with God, myself, and others.
(Becoming Emotionally Healthy)

Jesus told stories that are keys to the kingdom of God.
(The Storyteller: Gospel of Luke)

Waste the haste: learn Jesus' unforced rhythms of life.
(Waste the Haste)

We receive and we advance the Unshakeable Kingdom of God’s righteousness, peace, and joy.
(Unshakeable Kingdom)

 Unshakeable Prayer:

Father, may I stand in Christ’s righteousness. May that give me the strength and courage to live rightly and do what is just. Give me a peace because I trust that You are always with me no matter what I face and may I be a peacemaker. Give me a joy that comes from knowing that my identity is in Jesus and make my joy complete as I honor You in everything I think, say, and do

 Waste the Haste Challenge:  Breathe

Read and pray scripture daily.

Sabbath with the Body of Christ weekly.

Have a meaningful face-to-face conversation
with a friend or group of friends weekly.

 

Driveway Movie Night + BLESS

We are on mission together loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus in our neighborhoods. We want to empower you to be on this mission to B.L.E.S.S. your neighbors by throwing a Driveway Movie Night.

Why host a Driveway Movie Night? One reason, to build relationships with your neighbors and create the opportunity to eat together and get to know one another’s story. This is also a great way to listen to their story and learn how you can pray for them. You may even have the chance to share Jesus by praying with a neighbor during your Driveway Movie Night!

We have created a few Driveway Movie Night Kits to help you pull this off. Or you can use your own tv or projector to throw your own Driveway Movie Night. If you would like to learn more or if you’d like to reserve a Driveway Movie Night Kit, click the link below.

Let’s be on mission together this summer loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus where we live!
