We have arrived at the end of the Ripple Effect series. Along the way we have been challenged to create ripples, that can become waves, that can change the landscape. We have unleashed ripples of passion, humility, generosity, and gratitude. Today we prepare to unleash the final ripple. You need to be warned, this ripple might be the toughest because well, the final ripple to release is the ripple of Courage. So get ready for this morning, you need to be brave and get ready to come face to face with the ripple that will either allow you to be a person who builds things up or is constantly torching everything around you. It takes courage – that is the final ripple.

There are one of two ways to face life. You can be grateful or you can be a grumbler.
Grateful people are thankful people – Grumblers have made the choice to see the worst and even more destructively – be the worst version of themselves.
As we wrap up this series and get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, make this the day you choose to live Upbeat instead of Beat Up.

Do we shine brightly for Jesus or do we lurk in the shadows?
It is time to come out of the shadows and realize that Selfless people will shine brightly in a world of shadow dwellers

How do you think you look? We all look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time…but how do you look spiritually?
We usually don’t think about how we look in a spiritual sense. Here is an amazing thought – Attractive people are people who look like they know they are blessed.
Sure, it sounds weird, but it is true. Stressed people – well, they just look stressed -The difference is huge…are you blessed or stressed?

So how about it? Ready to start living upbeat? In this series we are on a quest for true happiness – as the Bible defines it and ask some realistic, honest questions about each of our lives…today we begin making sure we get the foundation of life right. Are you living faithful or fearful?
