Michelle Holmberg leads us in this week's message from our Devoted series.

Praise runs counter to doubt because it is active engagement with God.

We are Good News People, taking off the old self and putting on the new self. Because of this, we can lean into interpersonal conflict and see it as an opportunity to build an authentic community.

The family of God is the only community where we are all equal, but it takes intentionality.

At our core, we were created to commune.

God has spoken, so then what is our response? God moves us to respond to His Word.

When we approach scripture, we’re trying to gain a perspective. That perspective being God’s heartbeat applied to our current situation.

Do we allow scripture to bring awareness and call out the places that are not producing life in us? What is God asking us to do?

God wants us to lean into the suffering, learn, and be formed and mature.

We don't get to pick how God intersects with our story, but when God does, something happens, and it changes who we are.
