Curt, along with Devin and the band help us to give thanks to God for the Good Life.

Kevin and Sandy Barner, missionaries in Moscow, Russia, share about their multi-national church, International Christian Assembly.  Over 50 nations are represented in their church.  It's an incredible story you want to hear.

Curt shows us how the good life can be practiced. Rather than settling for the instant gratification of a purchase, God calls us to deeper practices such as contemplative, communal and missional practices. When we build these into our lives, the good life is a steady, fulfilled life full of satisfaction.

Mark looks at another aspect of the Good Life...power and fame. Where does this need come from and how did Jesus handle this? Ecclesiastes says that chasing power is like chasing the wind. How do we stop chasing the wind of fame and begin chasing the wind of the spirit? Join Mark as he explores this deeper and gives a Good Life blueprint.

Curt just returned from Armenia the night before this sermon and saw firsthand the contrast of a nation in desperate need of basic needs and America, a country flush with extras (even when times are bad). The mission fueled in him and the team a passion to live the Good Life, a life of giving. He calls this fuel, an adrenaline rush. What gives you a God-sized rush? Listen as Curt challenges us to live the good life by feeding the rush.

Lifer Doug Shaw has found the secret to joy is no secret at all, it's all about giving. Through storytelling and scripture Doug shows us that the way to increase our joy and to live the good life is to give.
