I have heard it said that happiness is based on externals while joy is based on internals. Happiness can come and go based on life circumstances but joy, true joy, has the ability to be claimed every day. This week we will be encouraged to choose joy no matter what is going on in our lives. Jesus promised us in John 16:33 that in this life we have many troubles but we can take heart, we can choose...

A life lived for Jesus is definitely more of a marathon than a sprint. To make it to the end will take determination, it will take great faith and it will take endurance. Paul encourages us all this week to run our race of faith, not with our own strength, but with the strength that comes from God Himself. In this life we will face many obstacles, we will endure many heartbreaks, we will have time...

In Psalm 139 scriptures tells us that God is the one who formed our inward parts and every human being finds their origin in His divine imagination. Like paint strokes on a canvas God is created something that is spectacular. The sad part is that many people do not embrace the diversity of this world and focus more on the externals than the internals. This week we are challenged and encouraged by...

It has been said that when we lose faith fear is there to take its place. We so often fear what we cannot control, fear what we cannot understand, and fear what might happen if we step outside of our comfort zones. 1 John 4:18 says that there is no fear in love but perfect love casts out all fear. As we live through this perfect love given to us in Christ we are empowered to step boldly and faithf...

Is there anything more valuable than time? Whatever we claim as priorities in life we tend to give our time to. This week Paul is reminding us all of our primary calling as followers of Jesus. Paul is urging us to prioritize this, value this, and make time for this. How do we do that? What does that mean for the other things we value?

Many desire to reach out and be neighborly but often are held back by timidity. By definition timidity is the lack of courage or confidence. So how does a Christian lean into their own timidity and not use it as a reason to not cross the street or reach out? This week we will look how we have access to the full armor of God and as we rely, not on ourselves, but on the strength of God then we can f...
