from Daniel 3:1-18
What drives your decisions? What determines the way you spend your time, your resources, your energy, the things you pursue? Follow the trail of those things and you’re not too far off from being able to determine what you value most.
If Vision (see the message from 9.2.18) determines the path on which we are journeying, then our Values determine HOW we journey that path. The questions we must wrestle with in this are: Are the things we tend to value worth the value we assign them? And are the values by which we live in fact life giving or are they stealing life from us?

from Daniel 6:10
What if rather than working in order to be able to rest, you began resting in order to work? For many of us that would be a seismic shift in our way of life…and yet, not only is it not outside the realm of possibility, it is actually the rhythm you were CREATED for.
A rhythm in relationship with Jesus that feeds your soul, changes your heart for others, and transforms your perspective on those things God has placed before you to do.
From Daniel’s life, guest preacher, Reverend Ken Shigematsu invites us into a rhythm of relationship with Jesus that doesn’t feel burdensome, rather it actually lifts us and supports us in the things we are navigating day in and day out in this life.
w/ Reverend Ken Shigematsu
from Daniel 3
If someone asked you Who God is, how would you answer that question? How would you describe God to the world around you?
Particularly now when this world is hurting, when so many questions surround the acts of hate and violence that seem so prevalent…what would you tell this world about who God is? How would you describe God?
What if it wasn’t an explanation that this world needed, rather an introduction?
Do you know God in a way that you would allow you to introduce God to this world?
