Everyday, we make decisions that reveal who or what we value most. It’s easy to say we love God when life is working out according to plan.

God is looking for people with the humility to admit their own brokenness and the faith to follow wherever He leads.

Just like He did with Isaiah, God is inviting us to humble ourselves under His mighty hand and have the faith to follow wherever He leads. -- In this series...

Throughout history, people have chosen to reject God and devote themselves to something or someone other than God. But, even though those idols promise a lot, they always leave us empty.

We'll discover that idols always promise more than they deliver, but God always deliver...

How do we end up distant from God? Usually, one step at a time. One step of compromise. One step of disobedience. One step away from what's right and toward what's wrong.
