“We live in a world that doesn’t care what God wants. Sure, they may not say it that way, but the messages that parade across social media declare that God’s way just isn’t worth it. But as Christians, we’re committed to following Jesus in every aspect of our lives. Is it possible to live—or maybe even thrive—as a believer in our world today?" —Sadie Robertson Huff
You are invited to "*Fire & Faithfulness*," a new virtual women's LIFEgroup meeting Wednesdays at 7:00PM [Central]. Email lifegroups@ygchurch.com for more information, you can also DM @alexandria.26 or @chrissygaban
In this four-session series with Sadie Robertson Huff, discover the lost art of faithfulness in the face of a world that wants nothing to do with God. Trek through the story of four young Israelites who, when ripped from their homes, faced a choice: remain faithful followers in a foreign land, or bow before an empire that hated God.

INFINITE HOPE // 7PM NIGHTLY THROUGH THURSDAY
Hope isn’t something just for children. It’s real, and it matters right now. Infinite Hope was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King's quote, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

Have you lost hope in the church? Might you have felt, “The church is full of hypocrites!” You’re not alone in thinking this. There are many people who love Jesus and what He represents, but can’t stand the hypocrisy that gets in the way. Join us as we journey together searching for infinite hope amidst the nonsense.

Join the journey 7:00PM CST nightly through Thursday. For all the details go to www.infinitehope2020.org

ARISE ONLINE
Everywhere you turn, people are full of contention, anger, and even hatred. It's so prevalent, and it's not without its effect on us. So how can you avoid getting caught up in all this?

Join Ty Gibson and David Asscherick this Friday, November 13, at 7pm CST for a special event. They will be discussing the Re-Creation chapter of the ARISE Online curriculum and answering your questions. What better subject matter is there to discuss than how God is going to restore and re-create this broken world? Click here to reserve your spot in this limited-space event.

BE THE CHURCH

Gabbie is one of our awesome volunteers who serves as part of the Media Ministry team. What you may not know is that Gabbie was born with Cerebral Palsy, and recently as part of her ongoing condition, both of her ear drums ruptured requiring multiple surgeries. Even as she was recovering from her surgeries, she faithfully attended online, sharing she looked forward to being "cleared" to return to church by her physicians. After her doctor's gave her the “okay,” she returned the next Sabbath, serving in the church that she loves.

You're invited to join Gabbie and the awesome others who serve as part of our media ministry team. No experience required, we love mentoring people of all ages and skill sets. Contact Ryan Gil and share with him your interest, ryan@arlingtonadventist.com

THE DEEP CALLING: CALL TO HEALING

“By His wounds, we are healed” --1Peter 2:24 “
”Do you want to be healed?” --John 5:6

PRAYER
I want to come into the light of authenticity.
I want to stand in this place that I am - the pain, the unbelief, the jealousy, the bitterness, the anger, the unwillingness to forgive - and find that you meet me here.
I believe you Jesus.
That if I confess my sin you are faithful and just to forgive and purify (1 John 1:9).
That by your wounds, I am healed (1 Peter 2:24).
Holy Spirit, I sense you asking me what Jesus asked the man at the pool so many years ago, “Do you want to be healed?” (John 5:6).
Yes, God.
I desire your healing and I open up my heart and mind and life to you, even now.
In the healing name of Jesus,
Amen

REFLECTION QUESTION
God invites you to “Draw near and find help in your time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
What area in your life do you sense brokenness and the need for the healing power of God?
In your journey toward healing, how can you be more honest about what you are facing?

ACTION
How can you receive God’s healing?
What is one avenue of God’s grace that you can open yourself to today?

SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE
Post your picture with #healing #deepcalling for today and let us catch a glimpse of God’s presence in your everyday life.

In today's world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance. We long for time with friends and family, we long for a moment to ourselves.

Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic *How, Then, Shall We Live?*, shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, and renewal--a refuge for our souls.
