Summary

As we learn this week of the light of God, today we’ll look to Jesus who is the Light. What does this mean about the Lord? And what does this mean for us personally? May our eyes behold him today, as we search out the source of goodness, beauty and holiness. May our hearts grow in wonder, worship and awe. And may our lives be forever transformed at the sight of him.

Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 60:20, and today's worship is Hey Jesus by Elyssa Smith (feat. Steffany Gretzinger).

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out?

Something needs to change!

So, we’re launching the First15 Digital Retreat to help address the challenges we face in connecting with God in this frenetic cultural moment.

When we look to Jesus, we see this exciting, life-giving invitation:

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” –Matthew 11:28 MSG

Through the First15 Digital Retreat, you will make space to come, rest, and recover.

Join us and speakers like Craig Denison, Aaron Niequist, Strahan Coleman, Charaia Callabrass, Ashley Abercrombie, and several more, as well like worship by First15 Worship artists like Nikki Moltz and Rachel Denison.
