Pastor Brian Bougher continues our series in 1 Corinthians as we dive in to chapter 4. Today, friend of Thrive Church Timothy Beloved brings a small furnace used for refining metals for a powerful demonstration of the kind of fire needed to refine metal. Are we willing to let God put us in that refining fire? Or are we comfortable with the slag in our lives?

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?
