SPEAKING FROM THE SHADOWS
90th Anniversary
“XC” is the roman numeral for “90” and September 2023 marks 90 years since the start of a dream that was first realized in the hearts of 6 people. In 1931, that group had a vision for a work to begin in Kalamazoo. They called the Assemblies of God to see if they would send someone to come and start a church to reach this city. Asa Miller answered that call and came here to begin what would ultimately be known at Kalamazoo First Assembly of God. What God began in the basement of a home, He has continued 90 years later to pour out His presence and impact people’s lives. Today, we can look back and see not only God’s faithfulness to our church but we can see with anticipation that the best has yet to come.
Me-We-Us
Life is better in community. This is how God designed us. And this is how we should be operating life in. Dealing with relationships can be one of life’s greatest gifts and one of life’s greatest challenges. From marriage to friendships, it takes work, and like any other worthwhile challenge, it’s better with help. And that’s our heart for “Me, We, Us.” We want to bring a series that gives practical and spiritual applications for married couples as well as for those other relational connections we have in life.
First Things First
It’s normally used to assert that important matters should be dealt with before other things. It is a step back to make sure that the top priority stays the top priority. One of the areas that can easily fall prey to operating without the top priority in mind is our finances. This series is our opportunity to look at God’s generous heart and how we can walk in that manner. Being generous is more than just giving, it’s a mindset that truly comes from the heart. In scripture we see God take little and make much of it. Jesus also said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Generosity is a blessing and is in the heart of God, and so it should also be in the hearts of His people. How has God been generous to you? What are some ways you can be more generous? This is the series where we’ll explore the heart God has for giving and how we play a part in the kingdom through it.

Some call it Holy Week. Others call it Passion Week. Regardless of the term, this week is the week that transformed the world. In this series, we dive into the last week of Jesus’ life here on earth to challenge our hearts and renew our minds. We take the series “The Last Week” and allow the last days of His life, His brutal death, and His glorious resurrection to shape us and compel us to live for Him.

Holy 3
As a church, we should do things on purpose instead of doing things because “that’s what we’ve always done.” There should be a “why we do this” behind our “what we do.” January 2023 we are diving into what drives what happens on Sunday mornings and how that affects our lives for the rest of the week. Our Sundays are not meant to stay on Sundays. They are a launching point into our next step of following Jesus. They are a place to point our lives toward Christ and propel us into the world as light
