FOCUS - 2023
Sunday Jan 01, 2023
Sunday Jan 01, 2023
Pastor Brian leads us in a unique service asking us, and challenging us, to have a vision, determine what we're believing God for, and who we are believing God for. Pastor Brian lays out a vision and what Thrive is believing for and who Thrive is believing for.
Where there is no vision, the people perish;
Proverbs 29:18a ESV
Join us in these three questions. Seek God's counsel and direction.
What is your vision?
What are you believing God for?
Who are you believing God for?

Pastor Brian wraps up our Family Matters series with a message on Family Function. Sometimes things go wrong.
