Let go of your past missteps and make the Next big move of your life about living for Christ. Learn the will of God in your life and how He uses the "messiest" people for His glory.
Much of our life seems defined by what has already happened. We had a particular set of dreams that didn’t work out and now we’re living with our disappointments. We once felt close to God but now he’s apparently gone. It can be hard at such moments to believe that the best is yet to be. Yet as a circle of people once discovered after Easter, sometimes what looks like the end is only the beginning.

It's easy to love those who love us, but what about our enemies or "those people" that we can't relate to? Come explore why God has called us to love everyone and what true love looks like in the eyes of Jesus.
Most of us are fairly good at loving at the 101 level. We do well with loving people who love us, enhance us, or otherwise interest us. But what does it look like to love when it is very costly to do so… when the person in front of us is not all that ‘loveable’… when we’ve got things to do… when the other individual has a serious flaw… when it doesn’t serve us socially… when they might not get better in this life? In other words, how do we go about loving others as Christ has loved us?
