Last night, Pastor Chad led us through week two of our new series, “Rest on Us.” In week one, we explored who the Holy Spirit is. This week, we focused on what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It’s important to remember that the Christian life isn’t about striving to earn God’s approval, but about surrendering to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to work in and through us. Instead of relying on our own strength, we are called to walk in step with the Spirit. We can’t please God when we live according to the flesh. Some of the ways we resist the Spirit include quenching, rejecting, or grieving Him. When we quench or reject the Spirit, we extinguish His flame and harden our hearts toward Him. We grieve the Spirit when we choose sin and return to the ways of death. To be filled with the Holy Spirit, we must be led and controlled by Him. This isn’t a one-time event—it’s a daily act of surrender, asking God to fill us afresh with His Spirit. Missed last night’s message? Each week, Paradigm sermons a

What does it mean to be a leader? Pastor Jon wrapped up our Proverbs series by taking a deep dive into Proverbs 29 to see how the Bible challenges us on how to be wise and Godly leaders! Based on chapter 29, here are some questions to consider if you're asking yourself "Am I a leader?": 1. Do You Listen? 2. Do Watch Your Words? 3. Do You Quarrel When You Should Make Peace? 4. Do You Crave Influence Over Integrity? 5. Do You Lead With Vision? Missed last night’s message?

Pastor Chad came with a great message last night preaching on Proverbs 23 about alcohol — not just the bottle, but the battle behind it. 5 Warnings We Can’t Ignore: 1. It can cause problems – What are you lingering around? 2. It looks good… at first – It may sparkle, but it bites. 3. It poisons – Some of us know the sting too well. 4. It impairs – Convictions get blurry when you’re not sober. 5. It consumes – “You don’t know what you’re willing to risk for the bottle.” Drunkenness is the sin, not the sip — but wisdom is knowing where the line is. If you’re struggling in your relationship with alcohol don’t be afraid to seek the resources you need! -Call the Alcohol Abuse Hotline: 1-800-662-4357 -Consider Re:Gen At Abundant Life -Schedule an appointment with Abundant Life’s Counseling Center Missed last night’s message?

Last night, Pastor Chad began week two of our sermon series on Proverbs by delving into the topic of wisdom. Proverbs, recognized as one of the wisdom books in the Bible, describes wisdom in chapter eight as “better than rubies.” So, what exactly is wisdom? Wisdom is the skill of navigating life with understanding, recognizing that all aspects of life are interconnected. It equips us to successfully navigate challenges and make decisions with insight. Wisdom goes beyond knowing right from wrong; it is the strength and resolve to do what is right, even when it’s difficult. God desires for us to walk in His wisdom and live a life of purpose and success. We can gain wisdom by seeking counsel from our elders, immersing ourselves in His Word, and, most importantly, cultivating a vibrant relationship with Jesus. Missed last night’s message?

With a new month of Paradigm comes a new series

We just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who showed up last night, and thank you to the people who sacrificed their finances according to God’s will.

As God moves and guides us to a new location, it’s important to remember that we’re not doing this individually, but as a collective—we’re headed west together.

Paradigm is coming to Johnson County! We continue the series "Headed West" by answering the question how are we headed west? Answer: by worshiping, evangelizing, serving, and trusting the Lord in all things. We are not just moving west physically, but we are moving west with a Godly purpose of reaching lost souls! All great movements of God start with prayer, so pray that God will move the people of Johnson County as we head west! https://www.bible.com/events/49403864 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

As some of you may know, at the end of this year, we’re opening a third location for Paradigm at our Overland Park campus! Last night, Pastor Chad started a new series discussing the necessity of this move called “Headed West.”

Last night we wrapped up our Quarter Life Crisis series! Pastor Phil led us in a message exploring how the choices we make today shape our future: ✨ God has a plan for your life… and so does the enemy. Which path are you choosing?

Cold weather may prevent us from gathering safely, but the warmth of God's majesty keeps us fired up for Him! As we continue in our series Quarter-Life Crisis, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark are joined by Jeff Cox, the Executive Pastor of Counseling at Abundant Life Church, and Andrea Cleek, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) from the Crossroads Campus of Abundant Life Church to talk about the challenges we face with our mental health and how it affects us in our walk with Christ.

God’s promises are bigger than any crisis, yet oftentimes we tend to forget that He desires good for us! Last night Pastor Jon reminded us of a few of Gods promises as we navigate through relationship crisis. Promise #1: A promise to believe (Jeremiah 29:11) ➡️ Are you more focused on what others think than what God says? Trust His plan! Promise #2: A promise to walk in (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) ➡️ His grace is more than enough—lean into it! Promise #3: A promise to return to (Psalm 23:1-3) ➡️ The Lord restores your soul. Let Him lead you! God wants to redeem what has been broken in your life, so hit the floor, catch the bats, and patch the holes! God’s got you—hold onto His promises! https://www.bible.com/events/49389989 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

So far in our Quarter Life Crisis series, we’ve covered how to navigate a crisis and the insecurities that come with it. Last night, Pastor Chad went even further and talked about something we can all relate to: work. Most of us are just working towards the weekend, but God gives us a new purpose and perspective in our careers. God wants us to be people of integrity who represent Him, and He also wants to have a relationship with us. We can apply this to our jobs and careers by: 1️⃣ Working hard and resting well 2️⃣ Talking to people about God and your relationship with Him 3️⃣ Reporting back to Him and inviting Him into all areas of your life, including your workday, every day!

“Quarter Life Crisis” continues! Last night, we tackled a struggle we all face—insecurities. So often, we try to handle insecurities by: 1️⃣ Hiding in our crisis 2️⃣ Dismissing God’s promises 3️⃣ Questioning God 4️⃣ Doubting His call on our lives But here’s the good news—God meets us in our insecurities and speaks truth over us in a way only He can. Our identity isn’t found in our fears; it’s found in Him! ❤️ Missed last night’s message? Catch up anytime on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts!

Last night, we took forgiveness a step further and Pastor Chad spoke about how to let that stuff go truly. Using the story of Joseph, his brothers, and his firstborn son Manasseh, we learned how to let that stuff go! Just as Joseph's brothers had caused pain and suffering, many of us have experienced seasons of hurt too. Now, we don't have to go around naming all of our firstborns Manasseh (I forgot; I let that go in Hebrew), but we can learn from Joseph's ability to trust God's plan and let go of the hope of having a better past. If he hadn't, our savior might not have been born. Imagine what God has in store for you when you let it go and put your trust in His divine plan for you. See you next Tuesday for the last Paradigm of 2024! "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them." Genes

Forgiving others who has sinned against you can often be, at best, difficult. At worst, it can seem nearly impossible. Jonathan Clark continues our At Odds series to address what the Bible says about forgiving others. Forgiveness is not about ignoring or forgetting about someone's trespasses. Forgiveness is tending to a debt, ready to absorb its cost, and setting them free. The Lord has unfathomable grace! He forgave us and will always forgive us, and calls us to do the same for others! See you next Tuesday, Paradigm! Happy Thanksgiving! "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

Conflict can be difficult to navigate. Last night Pastor Chad showed us how we can handle conflict with others in a Christ-like way. 1️⃣ Ensure it’s a sin before reacting (95% of the time, let it go).
2️⃣ Take action: Don’t gossip, wallow, or avoid it—go directly to the person (Matthew 18:15).
3️⃣ Approach with clarity: Speak in truth and love.
4️⃣ If needed, widen the circle with a neutral mediator (Matthew 18:16-17).
5️⃣ Lower expectations and choose forgiveness, showing God’s love but protecting your heart. The best way we can learn how to resolve conflict is to do it. This week we challenge you to make amends wherever you may need to
