Prayer
Prayer is the primary work of God’s people. We believe that nothing of lasting value can be done unless it is bathed in prayer.

My Kids
The best thing that you can do for your kids is to begin with Loving God yourself. Not just in a perfunctory way, but in a way that seeps deep into your heart.

My Religion
In an INDIVIDUALIZED world we PRIVATIZE our relationship with Jesus and we could try to blame culture, but where does the responsibility actually lie?

My Body, My Choice
On the right, people declare, "We are pro-baby! We defend and represent the smallest and most vulnerable sector of society!" On the left, people call out, "We are pro-women! We defend and represent the poorest and most vulnerable sector of our society!" Oftentimes, they talk past each other. Might we consider the way of Jesus—a way that is pro-baby, pro-women, pro-forgiveness, pro-healing, pro-science, pro-truth, pro-justice and pro-redemption?

My Politics
Christians have tried for many years to bring the Kingdom of God through a local government—and it has NEVER gone well, not once in history. Jesus never came to establish or control a government. He came to take control of the human heart.

Detox From Sin
The world is plagued by a problem, a serious problem—something that has been dogging people since time began. Sin is not a favorite subject of most people, partly because it is just unpleasant, and partly because we all love to feel like we are "pretty good people." But we have to talk about sin because it is the very thing that gets in the way of God’s transforming power.

Fasting
Detox is the name of our series. Why? Because about this time of year, it is common to feel bloated. Does anyone else feel bloated? December brings an overdose on consumerism. An overdose on decorations. An overdose on parties. An overdose on sugar. And new years brings fresh resolve to clear stuff out in order to make room for the most important things.

Longing for Home
Deep within us all we long for home, but this longing is truly our longing for our heavenly home.

Longing for Peace
Stress on steroids. That is how life feels for many Nebraskans. Consider senseless shootings, a nasty political climate, rivers flooding, increasing suicide rates. No wonder we have stress.

Longing for a Messiah
One of the great ironies of Advent is that it is the time designed to create a focus on Jesus. But it is the time we tragically busy ourselves with holiday trivia so much that we can ignore Jesus.

Empowered by the Spirit
We are the vehicle, but the Holy Spirit is our high-octane gas. Since the beginning of the Christian and Missionary Alliance – our family – has held two things as distinctives. First is a profound commitment to take the best news ever to the least reached people. The second is a commitment to the deeper life of the Holy Spirit.

Reach One More
All God asks us to do is to reach ONE. But there is never the pressure to reach "Them all" or to reach "The masses". Just ONE. And God says he will be with you. The Holy Spirit will give you what to say. Jesus is the good news.

Least Reached People
In order to understand how the story unfolds from here, you need to know that in Acts 8:1, a great persecution breaks out. The church was all pretty much in Jerusalem at that time. Likely 10,000 people were following Jesus and the authorities did not like it. So they began killing Christians like Stephen and throwing them in jail.

We Are On Mission
One of the great divine encounters of the Bible. A Ethiopian eunuch’s journey to Jerusalem to pray and worship. Philip leaves a revival to go to the desert where he divinely encounters a eunuch who would ultimately take the gospel into the entire continent of Africa.

Contributors Not Consumers
Being a consumer is natural, being a contributor goes against the grain. Our nature is not inherently altruistic, our nature is inherently selfish.
