 In this week's episode on the fruit of the spirit we are talking about joy. Where do we find it, how do we share it? Are happiness and joy the same thing? The answer to that last question, is no. Happiness and joy are not the same and there is a common misconception that they are. We tend to find happiness in things, new cars, food, material things, but often that happiness is fleeting and those...

Love being the first one. What does love look like? Sure you may say "it's the feeling I have for my husband" or "I love...

The storms of life happen to all of us, some big, some small but in any case a storm is a storm.  What rocks my boat, may not rock yours.  When we are shaken by the storms of life we tend to get anxious.  In Luke 8 the disciples were shaken by a literal storm while Jesus rested. They woke him asking, "don't you care?" we are going to drown.  I love his response.... "where is your faith?"  Where is...

Sometimes we just simply had a bad day and we are not our best, I don't know about you but my spouse gets the brunt of my bad mood. Forgiving one another should not be so hard. After all, despite our sin Christ forgave us...
