Your definition of success determines your conduct and satisfaction with life. Jesus’ teaching changes our perception of success from achievement of self-satisfaction to wisdom and knowledge of God.

We can live with and without power and have godly conduct at the same time. Jesus' teaching changes how we perceive power. The handling of power within society, the Church, and every Christian is a major theme of James' letter-essay, underlying the more obvious call for godly conduct.

Change must happen. True faith in Jesus means social injustice has to be addressed. In the book of James, we see his experiences and how he believed it should be addressed. Christians can't turn a blind eye. They must participate in God's mission to redeem this world.

God sees perfection when He looks at the believer AND a believer’s conduct should increasingly reflect that identity as we grow.

"Love one another", Jesus said. Healthy relationships are about others. It's not about you. In fact, you'll gain more joy and satisfaction in your relationships when both of you are thinking about the other first. So many of us know about Jesus' love, but struggle to practice it. But God wants that to be our relationships. Throughout the Bible, we see that relationships exist...

Life can get busy. It can get exhausting. But, when we neglect self-care, it begins to affect other aspects of our lives. It begins to affect our relationships. We when don't take care of ourselves, we can't be our best selves. We can't be the spouse, parent, friend, co-worker, or neighbor God invites us to be. The reality is that if we don’t care for ourselves properly, we will limit...

By investing in key priorities, you can have a great marriage. Even the strongest relationships will have times of struggle. The key to keeping your marriage strong can be found in the Bible and it can apply to all relationships, in a way, not just your marriage. It involves a word that makes many of us cringe - submission. But not just for wives, the Bible calls for submission by husbands as well...

Godly parenting is key to navigating healthy relationships with our children. It's needed more than ever and it begins with you.

How often have you heard "God will not give you more than you can handle"? Jesus never said it. It's not in Scripture anywhere. At its core, this phrase is a response to hardship and people’s attempts to find or give comfort. God gives us much better ways to comfort others amidst hardship. In truth, you will be given more than you can handle. That's just life. Following Jesus doe...

Those people can be the worst. You know who “those people” are, right? We all have them, and they are difficult to like, much less love. It’s helpful to know that Jesus had “those people,” too, and His love for them creates the model for our behavior.  It’s easy to like and love Jesus. At least until “those people” show up.

How often have we heard people say things – with a level of certainty – about what they think Jesus’ said, which He never said? Genuine followers of Jesus realize how critical it is to filter everything they think and feel through Him. As important as it is to know what you're feeling and thinking, it's more important to realize you can be misled and the more you trust Jesus, the more you...

Today were going to focus on a part of the Easter story we don't often talk about found in the gospel of Luke - a story about average people encountering the resurrected Jesus. A story about what God is up to in our world. A story that shows us how to live as followers of Jesus. Are you part of the story?

When we or someone we care about is wronged, the desire to see it made right is deep and intense! The cry of our soul is: “Someone’s gotta pay for this!”. Even if you struggle to believe in Jesus, this probably resonates deeply with you – because we all have a desire for justice. So why did Jesus have to pay such an enormous price?

Jesus’ life wasn’t just a turning point in history. It’s been the turning point in many lives as well. And it's not just His life, but as we’ll see in this series, it's His death and resurrection. And it's all good news! In fact, it’s the best news possible!

An “us vs. them” mentality seems to permeate our society right now. Small and great disagreements alike create harsh division, and we view other people as our enemies in a war we must fight. Paul reminds us that our war is not against the people we disagree with. We struggle against unseen forces that strive to drive people away from God. Our response is to be equipped for a different kind of batt...

As we seek to imitate God and live righteously, it is not always easy to navigate the grey areas. Wise decision-making, especially in the grey, glorifies God and sets us up for a better and easier life. When we live wisely, we live in a manner that invites the Holy Spirit to be a regular, active participant in our lives. This sets us up to be empowered by the Spirit, which cyclically, allows us to...

Our words matter… and they have power. When Paul says, “Do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live,” he urges his readers to live a worthy life. Interestingly, he focuses mostly on our speech. What we say and how we say it is important – there is power in our speech. Our words have power. What we say and how we say it affects everyone around us – even our very own souls.

If we desire to live more like Jesus, it begins with a new self. Our identity in Jesus results in living differently; righteously. However, we are not talking about just behavior modification. Mere behavior modification can be frustrating and fruitless on its own. A disciple of Jesus deconstructs their self, the fount in which behavior flows, and reconstructs it in the image of Jesus. Under the bu...

Our path toward maturity in our faith is paved with Church unity and mutual discipleship. the unity of Christians the equipping gifts as how we are capable of living out our calling as disciples of Jesus These two things work in conjunction to form rhythms of maturity and growth. With them, we will not be drawn away from our calling by false calls in this world, such as calls to tribal identity, h...

You are “called” to be a disciple of Jesus: no more, no less. And that is a worthy life. The language of “calling” has been used to mean many things to the Church, often incorrectly or resulting in harm. To be “called” is not synonymous with our gifts, desires, or individual career. “Calling” is not to be a burden or fear of missing out on God’s will for your life.

We sacrifice, we serve, we love others, we strive to live holy, and we still experience grief and suffering. We can sometimes ask: Why God? How can your promises be encouraging in the midst of our daily lives? Because God is gentle and merciful toward us, we can rejoice that His promises are a blessing, not a burden. God’s character matters for how we understand and interact with Him, and how we v...

Because God is love, we can trust His promises are made as an expression of His love for us. God’s love is shown by the cross and in His faithfulness over history and our lives. The evidence of God’s love gives us confidence that He will continue to be true to His promises in the future, as He has in the past.
