Saying no is hard - especially to ourselves. Yet Jesus calls his followers to learn to deny themselves. Why? Why did he think this was so important? Part of the reason is that anything that is controlling us, is taking his place in our lives. When we learn to say no to ourselves, we learn to keep everything else in our lives in second place behind God. 

Every week we send out a short 3-4 minute encouragement that follows up the talk from Sunday morning. We hope it brightens your day and encourages you to face each day with Jesus.

Unforgiveness works the opposite of how we think it will. Instead of punishing the person who hurt us, it ends up punishing and trapping us. How can we find freedom from the power of unforgiveness? 

Often in life, when we need to reach out the most to others, we are most reluctant to. Why is that? Why is it so hard to let others "in" when we need help carrying the burdens of our life?

One of the barriers for people when contemplating faith, is the role of science, and the modern narrative that science and faith are mutually exclusive. Is this really true?

What does Jesus say about prayer and not giving up? What if your next prayer about any given topic, could be the final prayer you need?

The message of Christmas is the message of God's great love for you and I driving him to come to earth and rescue us from ourselves. His love is a free gift that offers us a new future in him. How will you respond to this gift?

The story of Christmas reveals God's heart for all people. He could have written this story any way he wanted - and so how we chose to write it shows us his priorities. One of the greatest things we see in the story is that God includes people of all kinds, all backgrounds, and all gifts in his story. In fact, he made room for YOU in his story too. The question is, will we make room for him?
