When we keep our eyes on Jesus and stay connected to his people and purpose, it enables us to persevere in faith through whatever trials may come our way.  

Christ reveals to us that the way to a right relationship with God is trust, not performance.  

When Christ willingly laid down his life for us, he comprehensively and permanently restored our relational access to God.

The new covenant is greater because it is fully dependent on the faithfulness of Christ, not us, and it is written on hearts, not tablets of stone.  

Jesus is the only bridge to God we need. He is not a cold and distant deity but an understanding and intimate friend.  

Christ is the full and final revelation of God to us. If you want to know what God is like, look at him. If you want to experience God’s presence and power, look to him.  

We have a spiritual enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy us, but God is able to deliver us and lead us to a life of freedom and victory.  

God’s kingdom, power, and glory belong to him alone and will come to pass according to his timing, not ours. 

Unforgiveness prevents us from receiving God’s forgiveness. God’s forgiveness enables us to forgive others.  

God invites us to join with him in both prayer and action to redeem the brokenness and injustice of earth and bring it into alignment with the truth, beauty, goodness of heaven.  

God cares about the details of our lives. He is faithful to provide everything we truly need as we learn to trust and depend on Him daily. 

What comes to mind when you think about God will make or break your prayer life. He is our loving, compassionate Father and is as close to us as the air we breathe.  

As 2023 comes to a close, pause with us to consider how we can be part of the light Jesus is bringing into the world this new year.

The gospel of Christ is the best news ever which should elicit our heartfelt gratitude and praise.

God is patient with our fears and doubts, and there is no limit to what can be accomplished when we put our trust in Him. 

God is always faithful to keep his promises, but the fulfillment doesn’t always come in the timing or manner we expect. 

When we live generously, the ripple effect extends not only to the people we touch, but to the people those people touch and into eternity.  

There is a circular relationship between giving and gratitude, when we give out of a sense of gratitude. Generous people are more grateful, which leads to more generosity.  

Generosity is sacrificing something of value to us for the good of another, because we love them. This is what differentiates generosity and giving. Giving can be done begrudgingly and devoid of life. But true generosity is always motivated by love. And God is the author of generosity.  

God is a good Father we can trust to generously provide all we truly need. Embracing this mindset frees us from a scarcity mentality, releasing us to freely give resources to others.  

Healing played a central role in the ministry of Jesus and the early church. It should be a part of normal Christian experience today. 

The prioritization and practice of prayer (individually and corporately) is an indicator of our belief in its power. 

Spiritual warfare is real, but God is with us and has given us everything we need to live victoriously. 

According to the Bible, there is a spiritual world that is just as real and even more powerful than the physical world. 

Gender inequality in the Bible is a product of the Fall. The arc of the biblical narrative points back toward equality in countercultural ways.
