Have you discovered that you are often better in the boardroom than in the living room? Are you better at YouVersion than you are being a better version of you? Have you ever been your own worst enemy?

We live in a celebrity and success saturated culture. We equate winning with the pursuit of stuff, status, and sex. We hustle, but what are we hustling for?

The way of God is least appealing when we are angry, isolated, or afraid. That’s when we consider things we would never otherwise consider. When the feces hits the fan we feel compelled to do something...anything. But maybe there’s a better way.

David went from humble shepherd to national hero to great king. But he wasn’t great because of his reputation or military prowess. He was great because of where he’d learned to place his hope. He was great because he was intentional. We can learn to follow his example.

We will never be ENOUGH- so we must run to the ONE who is our ENOUGH. When God looks at us He sees that we are Holy, made right, forgiven, complete, chosen, accepted and dearly loved. And there is not one of these areas of that we will ever be able to accomplish on our own. We must surrender what is out of our control to the ONE who is in control. To our Great God. He has all of the wisdom, all of...

For so many years the voice has been in my head: I am not enough. Is it possible you hear that same voice? Maybe your struggle with feeling enough stems from a pain of never feeling you ever won the love and the acceptance of a parent. Or maybe you feel like you’re not enough because of someone of the opposite sex made you feel worthless. Whatever the reasons of your past that keep you feeling not...

All too many of us struggle under the weight of life, convinced we need to work harder to prove to ourselves, to others, and to God that we are good enough, smart enough, and spiritual enough to do the things we believe we should. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. But make no mistake, we have another enemy that longs to tear us down—to steal, kill, and destroy us. If I were your enemy, this is...

There’s a tension every one of us faces. We say we love God, but we don’t honor Him with our money. We live in a culture where an increasingly larger portion of what we have is being spent on things that have no impact on God’s purposes. Great stewardship requires being in a position where everything we have is at His disposal.

The people we engage with—as well as those we avoid and judge—reveal a great deal about our hearts condition. With more people open and searching spiritually, are we willing to invest in other people's lives by spending time with them and start to dialogue with them about God? You have the power to change the trajectory of someone’s entire life. All it takes is an invitation.

Every relational connection in our life is built on conversations. The deeper the conversation, the deeper the relationship. In Colossians, Paul suggested that we leverage this approach beyond our marriage, friendships, and parenting, by bringing this principle into our interactions with everyone—including those who don't believe what we believe. This is how Christians can be wise in the way you a...

Why do you do good? Sometimes we do good just to make ourselves look good or to impress somebody. Sometimes we do good out of guilt. And sometimes we do good in hope that good would come back our way. But Jesus encourages us to do good for another reason. For us to be the light and do right. Are we living our lives in such a way it causes people to ask, “Why?” Are we living a questionable life?

Christianity has an image problem. If you’ve lived in America for very long, I doubt this surprises you. Over the past few decades, Christians have lost their influence in culture because they’ve handled it so poorly. They had power. They had dollars. But instead of using power and the dollars to reach out and love people well... Christians used power to make a point and dollars to demand their wa...

The resurrection is what separates following Jesus from every other belief system on the planet. The resurrection is what makes following Jesus inclusively exclusive. How do we know that for sure? Simple: Truth is discovered, not invented, because truth exists independent of anyone’s knowledge of it. Here is the truth - We know that God is for us because He gave us Jesus.

What we often refer to as love is really no more than infatuation. We become enamored and enraptured. Sometimes, our “falling” in love is no more than turning ourselves over to what we want. Could this be why we tend to stray from our first love...Jesus?

People are spiritually lost until they receive Jesus. We cannot earn a right relationship with Jesus. There’s nothing we can do to impress God enough for him to save us. However, because of His love and mercy his gives us grace and He saves from our sinful selves and brings us into this great family called the church. What are we doing with this awesome message?

How people respond to what we communicate depends a lot on how we communicate. Approach matters. We can say the right things and have the wrong approach, and people will ignore the message. Our goal at oneChurch.tv is to present Scripture in a way that is so helpful and compelling that the audience leaves wanting to engage the scriptures more, and try it out in their lives. THE BIG IDEA: We will d...

Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion in you. - Bill Hybels

Controversies arise in churches for many reasons. Some important. Some seemingly trivial. One tension that arose in the early days of the Church and that continues to surface over and over is the issue of grace and truth. Namely, how good does a person have to be in order to be part of the church?

“We tend to overestimate what we can do in a year or two, but we underestimate what God can do in 10, or 20, or 100 years. " - Mark Batterson

The voice that spoke the cosmos into existence is the same voice that parted the Red sea, and made the sun stand still in the midday sky. That voice is God’s voice, and what we learn from Scripture is that He often speaks in a whisper. Not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close. But how can we hear from God? How can we know exactly what He is whispering to us? Most of us have heari...

"Miracles are the byproduct of prayers prayed by you or for you. That should be all the motivation you need to pray." - Mark Batterson

If you’re going to live your life with great purpose, one of the most important skills you can develop is learning how to say no. That’s a tough discipline to foster, especially if you want people to like you. We’ll look at a biblical story that clearly explains the problems with saying yes to everything, and we’ll look at how you can learn to say no to the things that matter less... nicely.

What time is it? Where did all the time go? Does time really fly when you’re having fun? There never seems to be enough time to get it all done. How can we possibly accomplish all that we need to do? At the end of the day, week, or month there always important things left undone. Maybe we think about time so much because there never seems to be enough of it. Maybe there’s only one question we need...

While everyone might get 24 hours a day, not all hours are created equal. Your energy ebbs and flows throughout the day. Sometimes you’re on top of the world, other times you struggle to stay awake. What’s with that? Surprisingly, even Jesus dealt with the limitations of human existence in his time on earth. This week, we’ll show you how to make the most of your limits.

Ever wish you had more time? And yet you’ve probably noticed that when you get more responsibility at work or you decide to have another child, no- body gives you any additional time. No matter how complicated your life gets, all you get is 24 hours a day. In this message, we review three gifts God has given everyone and explore why simply managing time is never the solution to your time managemen...
