Since sin’s inception, the world has been living under the tyranny of evil. Since Jesus’ inception, the tyranny of evil is now living under the threat of the Messiah

Africa New Life is locally led, dedicated to integrity, investing in families, and transforming lives in Rwanda! They recognize that, with educational sponsorship at the core of their work, children need other key factors to succeed: growing faith, community development, and a healthy body.

Don't bring your assumptions and preconceived notions into your understanding or conclusions. Don’t form conclusions based on partial facts or insufficient information or the opinions and speculations of others. Don’t allow your personal opinions or convictions to guide your study, regardless of how strong they may be. Scripture must be your standard and guide.

Jesus calls us to breathe in the Word of God and then to step out in obedience. As we do this, our foundation is solid as we are standing on the Word of God. Scripture then is what informs our values and teaches us how to live.

Some of us have walked out of the grave but still identify as a corpse. You will never walk in full resurrection life if you still hold onto past life garments.

Leveraging all that we have for God’s greater purpose is about realizing that all we have has been entrusted to us by God so we can play a part in his redemptive story for this world and my life.

God is always speaking! Take some time to ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to say to you today.

The manifestation of the Spirit is when the abilities and attributes of Jesus are supernaturally revealed and released through believers for the good of others. Being filled with the Spirit is a moment-by-moment surrender to the prompting, presence, power, and persuasion of the Spirit, which leads to deep pleasure, peace, perspective, and possibilities in the Spirit.

God's Spirit which is His personal presence is what created the world. The world was created for one thing. For God to be with us. God's Spirit which is His personal presence is what empowered His people to create the tabernacle.  The tabernacle was created for one thing. For God to be with His people. God's Spirit which is His personal presence now dwells in us and moves us to obey Him. Believers...

“Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

A dangerous church is a disciple-making church.

Before we introduce Jesus to the world, we need to re-introduce Jesus to the church.

Living is activated when our “Believed Realm” is greater than our “Perceived Reality”. Don’t let what you perceive outweigh what you believe!

The desire in humility is to become like Jesus in his willingness to choose the hidden way of love rather than the way of power. What is the way of love? How is that different than the way of power? 

Alignment, soul-searching, forgiveness, repentance, as well as a joyful day of celebration, looking forward to God's goodness and mercy in the New Year.

The gift of prophecy is the divine strength or ability to communicate God’s truth and heart in a way that calls people to a right relationship with God and encourages and edifies the Church.

Wonder: "A feeling of surprise mingled with awe and admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable."

Giving God the top spot in our hearts, minds, and lives allows us to witness and become conduits of his glory.

Contend (epagonizomai) - "to battle, fight, and defend with tenacity."

1.2 million young people left the church last year. This isn't a youth group problem. This is a church problem.

A family that serves God on his mission, changing the lives they touch as well as their own. As families pray together, discuss God’s Word together, serve together, and love a broken world together, it empowers them to live out their faith and rhythms side by side.
