When life doesn't turn out the way we hope, it can cause us to doubt God's goodness. But many‬ times, it's in the midst of our circumstances that we better understand God's presence.‬ The circle of God's grace, mercy, and‬‭ provision is large enough to encompass the‬ circumstances of your life.‬ ‭ ‭ Join Andy Stanley as he launches into our new series 'Under The Circumstances: Holding onto God When It Appears He Is No Longer Hanging Onto You.'

10 months ago our church kicked off a 20-month initiative called FOR Them. On this "halftime Sunday, Jeff will be reminding us of our calling in this, updating us on the progress and how God‬ is at work, and inspiring us to jump in for the sake of those who don't know Jesus yet.‬ ‭

We all want to "win" in multiple areas of our lives, but is that the way we should think about it?‬ And if you are honest, most of the time it feels like you try to change and make progress but you‬ don't.

What do you do when you find yourself stuck in a pattern you want to stop? Why do we often end up in cycles of destructive behaviour, and how can we break the cycle? How do you position yourself to recognize and avoid circumstances that cue behaviours that move you backward?
