FAN THE FLAME: A Week We’ll Never Forget
What an incredible week! This summer marked the relaunch of our Foursquare Central District Black Hills Summer Camps, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all God did.

Isaiah 61:1-11 QUICK LINKS: TRANSFORMED BY LOVE: A JOURNEY THROUGH ISAIAH 61 FROM ASHES TO BEAUTY The Spirit’s Anointing: Empowering Our Mission Isaiah begins by proclaiming the presence of the Lord’s Spirit, which empowers us to bring good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim freedom for the captives.

It stems from a fear that tells us we must…
RUNAWAY, Part 1: “The Son Who Runs” — GOING DEEPER
THE Son WHO RUNS | Luke 15:11-24 QUICK LINKS: RUN BACK TO LOVE THE ACT OF RUNNING AWAY Many of us know the feeling of wanting to escape—whether from relationships, responsibilities, or even God Himself.

But as we know from personal experience, what seems like freedom often leads to isolation. Distance doesn’t heal; it burdens. This story invites us to…
