Have you been so right that frustration or anger takes over and you strongly react? How can we identify and overcome our overly right reactions? Based on a series by Andy Stanley, Pastor Clay helps us to learn how to harness the power of our over reactions for good. Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount the unnatural way in how to react to unfair or unjust events in our lives.

Using the acronym U.N.I.T.Y., Pastor Clay helps the church understand Jesus' desire for Christians to be in unity and fellowship with each other.

The early Jesus Followers acknowledged Jesus King and themselves as his family and were empowered to live in such a way that their neighbors were stunned. Pastor Aaron preaches from Acts 2:42-47 to discover how we can be an awesome spectacle today.

Love is the glue for unity We have been generously forgiven and must forgive generously
