You’re Invited to Transformation (Baptisms)

Don’t you want Living Water to come out when the world shakes you? Forget the God stuff, don’t you desire to be patient when your kids are nagging you? To be kind when there’s so much hate? To be self controlled when things don’t go your way? If you’re not a Christian - surely these are things that are admirable right? Jesus says he wants to plant this stuff in you! If you are a Christian - Jesus has already planted it in you, it’s about giving him more and more authority in your life to produce this in you. Whether you respond or walk away, Jesus is ALWAYS inviting you to come and drink.

You’re Invited to Rest

You're Invited to REST... How easy do you find it to find rest? Our world doesn’t seem to sell us the idea very well that we can find it OR that we can obtain it. Often, the very things that led us to Jesus can be the very things that keep us coming back to Him —battles with burdens, the anxieties and pressures of life, and the weight of responsibilities. Let’s receive the invitation to rest in God's hands.
Speaker: Jayne Sargeant.

You’re Invited to Make Peace

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." When you sign up to follow Jesus you are not signing up to be a divider, you are signing up to be a uniter. Speaker: Keith Spurgin - Lead Pastor, New Hope Church, Wylie, Texas.

You’re Invited to Follow

Most people love receiving invitations —we eagerly open them (or click on them) to find out who's doing the inviting, what the invitation is to and most importantly, what am I going to wear?!! The God who wants us to write a better story is also the God of invitation... will you follow? Speaker - Stuart Blount.
