Mark 10:13-16 is usually a message about children or children's ministry. But Jesus said that if we don't receive the Kingdom of God like little children then we won't enter it.

2 Timothy 1:5-14 is a plea from Paul to Timothy to not be ashamed and suffer willingly for the gospel. It is also a letter for us, which begs the question, "How do I say yes to God in the face of persecution and suffering?" Looking at this passage we can see that Paul outlines the way to say yes to God and no to shame and how to release the right to retreat.

The Church is united as One body in Christ. But within that unity, exists much God-given diversity. God has granted various kinds of gifts to the church. Romans 12 lists gifts that are motivational in nature, 1 Corinthians 12 lists others that are a unique expression of the Holy Spirit, and then in Ephesians 4, Paul lists leadership roles within the Church. Roles that are to serve and benefit the church. You can watch this message on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FZzDM3UuFMI Website: https://ww...

Names are very special in the Bible. They are more than just a way to identify a person, they give us insight into who they are.

We live in a world of inequality. This inequality exists, and specifically an inequality of how we view one another, because people operate that the life, that we all need, is a limited commodity. It’s in limited supply. A zero-sum game where if you get some, that means I get less. And therefore, I need to be more deserving than you of life. But because of what Jesus Christ has done and given to us, He has overcome this inequality by making us equal in Him. This is made clear through the Apostle...

Strong communities are built on authentic relationships, rooted deeply in our identity in Christ.

As believers in Christ Jesus, we have been born again and made into brand new creations. That means, today and for all time, we are holy, blameless, righteous, redeemed and Jesus now dwells in and through us. The question is, "How does Jesus live through us? How do I live now?" Beginning in Ephesians 4, Paul describes the characteristics of this new creation, so we can better recognize where and how Jesus wants to live through us.

Every person has experienced hurt and abuse in this world to some degree. It comes with living in a sin-cursed world. But for some, their hurt ends up defining who they are, and they live as victims, stuck in their despair. The Apostle Paul shows us how we can go from victims to victorious by allowing God to define who we are and what we have to replace the lies that keep us in the bondage of a victim mentality.

Depending on God for your every day is difficult. It is easy to be offended by Jesus' claim that He is life especially when things don’t go well. John 6: 52-71 reminds us that Jesus is the faithful one in our story and He will strengthen us to live life and continue in Him when we're struggling.

Lies from the enemy keep us from running to Jesus. Lies about our worth, our significance and if God even cares. But these are just that - lies. The truth is that God's eternal plan was to unite Himself to His bride, the church, to display His manifold wisdom to the angels in Heaven. And because of this, we have bold and confident access through faith in Jesus. You can also watch this message here: https://youtu.be/B1VxMixj85k

Who are you? How do you identify yourself? These questions are critical to answer, especially in a world where identity politics is being played by every side to gain power. In Ephesians 2:11-16, the Apostle Paul wrote to a church struggling to come together because of their very different backgrounds. Thankfully, as believers in Christ, we have an identity that is greater than our race, gender, job or anything else that we do or look like. It is an identity rooted in who we are in Jesus and who...
