In this powerful message from Colossians 2, we’re reminded that the only equation that brings us confidence, peace, and salvation is this: Jesus + Nothing = Everything.

What if Jesus said something so shocking, it challenged everything you thought about following Him? He did. On the night before His death, Jesus told His disciples, “It’s better that I go.” Better?

He’s gi...

So many of us know we should pray more, but life gets busy, distractions take over, and honestly, we just don’t know where to start.
