Humility is central to living a life of Christ. If you desire to be a person who makes a difference for Christ, but try and do so without humility, you will always fall short. Jesus modeled for us what it means to truly love, and in humility He gave His life so we could abundantly live. He asks us to go and do likewise. Perhaps this has been a season where you have solely been thinking about yours...

Sometimes life doesn’t go as we planned. 2020 is like that for all of us. Yet, when the apostle Paul found himself in prison in Rome, he didn’t sit and feel sorry for himself. He moved forward in his faith and in advancing the Good News of Jesus. Because of Paul’s commitment, we have this incredible letter he wrote, Philippians, and Paul had some serious joy in his life. Where’s your focus today?...

Legacy is a word you may not think about often, but your legacy is something that is being developed moment by moment, day by day, as you live your life. If you have children or grandchildren, your actions and priorities speak to the legacy you will leave. The friends and neighbors you work with, or do life with, are going to be impacted positively or negatively, by how you live your life. This is...

Most of us want to live a life on purpose. Yet, many of us wish it were easier to do! To live on purpose, I have to be willing to set my own agenda aside and to follow His agenda. To live a life of purpose, I have to place the needs of others before my own and I have to be willing to see that God’s plan is always going to be far better than mine. No matter what may come my way, He can be trusted....

We are all in need of grace every moment of every day. Through the cross, Jesus made a way for us to be made whole and reminds us that it is only by His grace that we can have life. We can try our best to be good, we can add rules and regulations, but only through Christ can we experience life. Along those same lines, Jesus desires for us to help others experience His grace and one of the easiest...

As a follower of Christ, we all have a calling from Christ. We are all missionaries! Disciples, making disciples, compelled by the grace of God that has transformed our own lives. We carry out this calling in our homes, neighborhoods, communities, and on to the ends of the earth. What we learn in Acts 14 from Paul and Barnabus is that being in the center of God’s will, we will all face conflict, c...

God made it so abundantly clear that our call is to go and point other people to Him! Whether we are getting to know our neighbor, engaging with people on social media, or going on a mission trip (can’t wait to be able to do that again soon), He has asked us to be obedient to share. Often we don’t share for a variety of reasons, but maybe today for the first time, you realize that it is not your j...

As a follower of Christ, everything I do sends a message to those who are not followers of Christ! Do my actions, words, and deeds proclaim love and point people to Jesus? Or do my actions, words, and deeds point to myself? The world is watching 24/7! I pray that I make a conscious choice at the start of every day to realize there will be many opportunities to allow God to use my story, to use my...

When we make a commitment to follow Jesus, He transforms us from the inside out and desires for us to invite Him into every facet of our being. Jesus desires our perspective to be more like His and He yearns for our relationships, our spending, our attitudes, our actions, and everything else, to be reflective of what is truly most important in our lives - Him!

The transformation of Saul reminds us that God is the only One who can change a heart! God not only shows us His grace and mercy, but gives us work to do in spite of our flaws, shortcomings, and sinful pasts. If you are currently in a season of darkness or held captive by things from your past, know that God has an amazing plan! It is also safe to say, God is calling you to be like Ananias...to go...

Jesus prayed for His disciples to be one. United in the cause of Christ as His church. There are so many things that divide our world today - race, gender, socio-economic status, but in God’s Church, we are called to be one. We are imperfect people. As we focus on Christ and love one another, then God is glorified and His Church grows. As we see needs and meet them, then lives are changed. Let’s w...

Times of unrest and hardship can cause us fear, but what we do with that fear makes all the difference. When we “fear” the Lord by revering His sovereignty, power, and holiness, our anxious fear of the unknown shrinks into its proper place. When our fear leads us to being a follower of Christ we enter the community of the church and find ourselves part of an eternal family that is dear to the hear...

In this time of uncertainty, we need God and the church more than ever. This is our time to be God’s Church and to be the “hands and feet of Jesus.” We join our hearts and lives together to lead others to the hope of Christ. As God’s church, we have the responsibility to put Him first and to speak boldly about our faith. People are looking for help and hope today. Our God is at work, and He is inv...

Not only at the end of the day, but at the end of all time, the very best thing we can give someone is Jesus. Regardless of our material wealth, or lack thereof, we have something far better to contribute to society. At any time, particularly this strange time, people are looking for hope, and faith in Jesus Christ is the best and only guarantor of that hope. Take an inventory this week of all you...

God invites you to be a part of something so much bigger than yourself! God set the Church in motion and sent the Holy Spirit to comfort, guide, and lead you to point other people to Him. The Church is God’s plan A for the world and you have the unique responsibility and privilege to be on the front lines of ministry. Which means being involved with the lives of other people. Who is God calling yo...

After Jesus conquered death on Easter, He stayed on the earth 40 days until He ascended into heaven. During this time, Jesus prepared His disciples to be the Early Church. The book of Acts is the story of the Church. The Church is how God accomplishes His work in the world. The Church is made up of ordinary Christ-followers united in the confession of faith, “Jesus is Lord” and is fueled by the Ho...

If God can raise a dead Jesus, then He can raise a dead you. God can raise a dead heart, a dead marriage, a dead dream. Jesus is alive! This changes everything. Jesus being alive means God loves you more than you can even imagine. You are worth God’s Son to Him. Jesus being alive means God does not want to spend eternity apart from you. You are loved and redeemed. Will you commit your life to Jesu...

John was faithful. John was with Jesus in the good times, like Palm Sunday, and in the tough times, like the cross. While the other disciples scattered, John stayed. When the Resurrection came, John “saw and believed.” Jesus changed John from fear and anger to confidence and love. May we be people who are faithful. Faithful to Jesus all of our life. Through the good times and the struggles, may we...

Peter was an ordinary man that God used in an extraordinary way. God sees the potential in each of us. God created us for a reason and He has a plan and purpose for our life. Peter followed Jesus, but then denied Him three times. Yet, after Jesus’ Resurrection, Peter found grace in the heart of Jesus. God used Peter in a powerful way to impact many for Christ, and God wants to use each of us for H...

Jesus is drawing us to Himself. In the midst of the challenges, God is at work. We all have doubts and questions. God can handle these. Doubt is not sin, but God allows doubt in order to lead us to truth. Thomas, one Jesus’ first disciples, had doubts. But, when Thomas met Jesus after His Resurrection, everything changed. Thomas no longer lived with fear but lived with faith in the God who raised...

Judas is the most disappointing person in all of history. Judas was so close to Jesus, and yet he was so far. Given every opportunity to follow and believe, Judas chose to live in his own sin and selfish ambition. His life was a miserable failure. We have all sinned, yet God’s grace is greater. Easter shows us that our failures are not final. Will you receive God’s grace and live in His love today...

The life of Mary reminds us that no matter what God says, no matter what God asks us to do, and no matter how many questions we may have, He can be trusted. God may be dealing with you today to take a step of obedience and your fear is standing in the way of saying “yes” to God! God may be showing you an area where He is desiring to stretch you, but your questions are getting in the way. When you...

We all sin. We all make mistakes. The question is not, “If we sin...”, but “How do we respond when we sin?” By God’s grace, there is forgiveness. Yet, we must confess our sins and turn from them. Sometimes we are just sorry we got caught as opposed to deeply desiring to restore our relationship with God. God hates sin because He knows the damage it causes to the people He loves. Therefore, let’s c...

In our lives, we will be tempted. We have an enemy who wants to destroy us, and therefore he brings temptations into our lives so that we will rebel against the God who loves us. Yet, temptation is not a sin. Temptation is an opportunity to choose what is right. Sin has enormous consequences in our relationship with God and with others. We must learn to guard our hearts and minds against sin. Jesu...

What kind of leader does God want you to be? They’re everywhere. They’re at our jobs and at our schools. They’re politicians and personal trainers and chefs and accountants. They’re leaders. And, like it or not, you’re one too. God has called you to be a leader for the people you interact with on a daily basis. But what does that look like? Join us to learn how to be a godly leader.
