Living The Abundant Life

This semester’s study of Acts 1 and Acts 2 revealed our true identity and invited us into our purpose here on Earth. But sometimes, our best intentions to live this out don’t always lead to our desired actions. Jack Thweatt helps us examine 3 areas of our life where we distort our purpose and identity, which can lead to a results-oriented faith when we were made for relationships. Jesus is the key, and we have to learn to abide before we can fully live out all the He has called us to be.  For more information about Breakaway, check out www.breakaway.org and follow us on social media @breakawaymin.  If Breakaway has impacted your life and you want to generously give back, find information on supporting financially at www.breakaway.org/give

Talking to God

Christians believe they can speak with God... any time. Yet most of us admit our prayer lives feel more like a growth area than an area of strength.

When Jesus Makes You Choose

Have you ever been stuck between two voices? One granting rich reward and joy, and the other offering numbness and short-term pleasure? Would it surprise you that most people choose the latter? This week, Brian McCormack takes us through Luke 19-20, where Jesus enters the temple in Jerusalem and has three dramatic encounters with the religious leaders. Like the onlooking crowd, we are also posed with the decision between the truth of Jesus or the comfort of the world. This happens because the Father wants us healed, whole, and healthy! When we choose Him, we experience His deep love. Let’s be encouraged that God is waiting for us with open arms!
