Our focus for the next couple of months is all about the Fruits of the Spirit! This week, we are focusing on LOVE! If we can learn to utilize a natural reflex to mimic those around us, and use it to love and serve the way that Jesus loved us... we can follow in His footsteps, which is what He wants for us... to love others because He FIRST loved us! Our passage today is: 1 John 4:19 Written by: Ca...

Our focus for the next couple of months is all about the Fruits of the Spirit! This week, we are focusing on LOVE! Sometimes the Bible can be complex, and hard to understand at first... but when the Bible is clear, and SIMPLE... it can be so easy to understand, but difficult to do. Today's passage reminds us that the ask is simple, while not always easy in practice... we are to do everything with...

Our focus for the next couple of months is all about the Fruits of the Spirit! This week, we set up where we're going, by thinking about how what happens inside of us will show outside of us. This is what the Bible means by "fruit." When the Spirit is at work inside of us, you will know by how we act and speak... but when we're being motivated by the flesh, very different things will come out of o...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to TRUST HIM! The ultimate sign of trust, and belief in God's bigger plan, is when we - as his kids - can receive any circumstance in life as a gift from God. Either in blessing, or growth... nothing is wasted with God, as He will use even our deepest pain to build us up. We are built up in Truth, but also in how we're broken down and built back up...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to TRUST HIM! Jesus reminded the disciples that He could be trusted... and that His Father could be trusted... and encouraged them to remember that while He left, that He'd be coming back and that He'd prepare a place for them, and also - for US. So He encourages us to take heart in the knowledge that just as He's come through in the past, when our...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to TRUST HIM! When we learn to keep our focus on God, and the fact that He is strong over all things, and that He has victory over every evil or sad thing... we can have perfect peace, as we trust Him with the days ahead. We can know that though we'll have trouble in the world, if we take heart that He's overcome the world - perfect peace is waitin...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to TRUST HIM! One special way He gives us to trust Him, is to use what He's provided for us to be a blessing to others, and not to trust in all we have to bring us safety or security. By allowing us to steward His resources, we get to bless as we're blessed... but we also are reminded that the Church is meant to be that for us. We learn to trust Go...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to TRUST HIM! How much trust we put in the one giving us directions, will largely determine how closely or seriously we follow them. God asks us to trust Him, wholeheartedly, so that we are actively seeking His voice, and moving in faith - even when He asks us to go in different directions than we might want to go... because we know we're moving st...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to KNOW HIM! Jesus prays to the Father, and tells Him how much He wants us to truly see Him... exactly how He is, in all His glory. He can't wait to see us, seeing Him... He's not interested in hiding out in plain sight, among the clouds, the waves or the mountains... He wants us to BOTH see each other, and to see the look of awe, and we finally se...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to KNOW HIM! But God doesn't just want us to know Him... He wants us to know that when we come to Him, He wants to give us rest. His desire is to take our burdens, and help carry the load. He wants to be there with us through our tough times. To lighten the load, but also to LIGHT-en the darkness with the light of hope.    Our passage today is: Mat...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to KNOW HIM! Something amazing happens when we come to know God... our whole lives seem to change. This was the case for Paul, and when we accept God's invitation to enter into a friendship with Him, other things start to seem way... way less important!    Our passage today is: Philippians 3:8 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like to join our grow...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to KNOW HIM! He is our prize... eternal life isn't just living forever for no good purpose... it's living in relationship with God, as His friends, His children and His people. He's most excited to give us the one thing that is better than literally any other thing... Himself!   Our passage today is: John 17:3 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like...

Our focus this week is all about how God wants us to KNOW HIM! He doesn't want us to get caught in the trap of feeling like we have to perform to be loved, or that we need to stand out to be important. God tells us that what is most important is that we are His, and that we know Him. We can be defined by who we are IN HIM, and not by what we do FOR HIM or for others.    Our passage today is: Jerem...

As we close out our week learning all about how God wants to TALK to US, we are reminded that God wants us to bring Him all our anxieties... to communicate where we are scared or anxious. But He also wants us to find comfort and peace, beyond all understanding... because He already knows how every anxiety or fear ends. He knows the end, even as our troubles arise. So we take comfort in His knowled...

This week is all about how God wants to TALK to US! Today, though, we look at how to face the reality that sometimes we *do* hear God, but don't want to follow Him. What do we do when what God asks us to do doesn't align with our own desires?     Our passage today is: Hebrews 3:15 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like to join our growing community, you can find us at our various social media plat...

This week is all about how God wants to TALK to US! We are reminded today, that when we spend time listening to God... expecting to hear from him, that over time - when we learn to recognize His voice, we will hear His voice over the other loud voices in the world, because we are His sheep - and His sheep know His voice!   Our passage today is: John 10:26-27 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like...

This week is all about how God wants to TALK to US! We are reminded today, that when we "camp out" and wait to hear from him, expecting to hear from Him and listening intently... we can "find the frequency" and find life.    Our passage today is: Isaiah 55:3 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like to join our growing community, you can find us at our various social media platforms, or you can show...

This week is all about how God wants to TALK to US! He doesn't just want to tell us things, or even for us to just talk at Him... He wants to engage us in a back and forth, relationship-building, dialog. God is relational, and wants us to share our hearts, and also hear from Him!   Our passage today is: Jeremiah 33:2-3 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like to join our growing community, you can f...

This week is all about WORSHIP! In today's episode, we see a culmination of all of our W's coming alive in the story we read in Matthew 22. We learn that God doesn't just want our song... He wants our full-bodied, fully engaged hearts responding to Him. He is a God who desires intention, not just action. He wants all of us, not just our output.    Our passage today is: Matthew 22:37 Written by: Ca...

This week is all about WORSHIP! In today's episode, we are reminded how important it is that we understand WHO God is, when we don't understand what He's doing. Because when we're confused and unsure... it helps to rest on the things we *are* sure about... like God's character and track record. He knows what He's doing, and He's for us... so being able to speak truth about who God is - over our he...

This week is all about WORSHIP! In today's episode, we learn how God wants us to worship Him. Not just in what we know, or what we've learned... but animated by what we know - to exude gratitude and worship Him with heart and spirit! He wants us to be fully engaged in our love of Him, and fully aware of His full-hearted love FOR US!   Our passage today is: John 4:23 Written by: Casey Taylor If you...

This week is all about WORSHIP! In today's episode, we're reminded of how quickly everyone is to praise all the things we love in entertainment, sports or in our social circles... all based on our own tastes... but we look at what would it look like to praise someone who was without argument the best, and greatest... it would look a lot like... worship!   Our passage today is: Psalm 29:1-2 Written...

This week is all about WORSHIP! Today's episode is a reminder that some gifts are too good not to tell others about... and when it comes to the life that we find in God, through Jesus - it's a gift too good NOT to sing about!    Our passage today is: Psalm 100 Written by: Casey If you'd like to join our growing community, you can find us at our various social media platforms, or you can show your...

This week has been all about the WORD! Some of the most heroic work that has been done in the history of the world has been done by those who heard the truth, and devoted themselves to sharing it at all costs. They may be a different type of hero without the super in front, but they're the heroes that God invites you and I to be - strengthened by the truth found in the Bible, and determined to see...

This week is all about the WORD! Today we learn that while the world will offer us good things, God offers us what our soul longs for... His Word, and all that it shows us about who He is, what He's done, and what He promises to do. Only the Living Water will satisfy, where other substitutes will leave us thirsty.  Our passage today is: Deuteronomy 8:3 Written by: Casey Taylor If you'd like to joi...
