Our ministry for young adults 18-20s.
Ever since I made the decision to follow Jesus, I think the one of the greatest transformations that has happened in my life has been the restoration of relationship with my family. Of course, I’m not perfect at it. I wish I was, but the truth is I’m not there yet. However, I think it…
Many of you have heard my testimony and all of the frustration that my life brought me before encountering Christ. I can sum it up in two sentences by stating that during my Freshman Year of college, I realized I had been living on the futile power and false wisdom that I could use to…
I’m Mary, a new mentor with Fusion. One of the reasons I wanted to become a mentor with Fusion has to do with my struggle with controlling my sin-filled desires. Although I’m decades older than you I still struggle. But I have found Hope, Grace and Love in my decades of struggling that a young’un…
In the past few weeks, I’ve been noticing that our church, as a whole, doesn’t get very excited about congregational worship. It is something that seems to be important to the church.

Fortunately, the Bible has a lot to say about “boasting” and what this means for us if we’re really trying to…
The work of growing I have had multiple conversations lately in which people expressed the concern that they do not feel like they are “growing spiritually.” I have felt this same concern in my own life.

Is Jesus better than lust? This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair; In the rustling grass I hear him pass; He speaks to me everywhere. -Maltbie Babcock, 1901 We can so emphasize the necessity of setting our minds above that we effectively deny the goodness of God’s creation. -Joe Rigney, 2014…
