Pentecost
Pentecost is a powerful reminder of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that empowered the early church to spread the gospel. As we enter the new year, we dedicate this season to prayer, seeking the same outpouring—the latter rain—as we begin our journey anew with God. In the same way that the disciples came together in unity to pray before receiving the early rain of the Spirit, we too gather to ask for God’s presence, guidance, and power. This theme…
Connect360
Connect360 is about more than just celebration—it’s about coming together as a community to intentionally rejoice in the connections we’ve formed. Whether it’s a discipleship group, a family, a circle of friends, or a broader community, the focus of Connect360 is celebrating togetherness.

Redemption is not just a personal experience but one…
Education
Education is not merely the accumulation of knowledge, facts, or skills; it is a journey toward understanding how we can grow together as individuals, families, and communities in Christ. As Ellen G. White points out in her book Education, the purpose of true education is not just intellectual development but character formation, preparing us for both this life and the life to come. In the context of Christian living, education is key to learning the “how” of growing together. Whether…
Growing Together
Why do some families or friends grow closer together the more they spend time with one another, and other families or friends grow to hate and resent each other and eventually fall apart with time? Your Circle of Friends Imagine you standing in the middle and your circle of friends or family holding a circle around you. While you are walking around chasing your dream, growing and learning, there is no problem as long as your circle moves with you,…
