We all want to give our kids the best. What if the best gifts may be painful as they prepare them for the future? What if we worry less about their happiness and focus more on their readiness?

What and who we expose our kids to will shape what they believe and who they become. What and who are we being exposed to? What and who are we exposing our kids to? *The clip used in the sermon is from Messengers International.

The choices we make & the quality of our relationships all begin on the inside. How can you have more of the fruit of the Spirit in your life?

We want to make sure we’re living well in the hybrid world we live in, and make sure we’re taking care of ourselves in the right ways. Have you noticed a correlation between screen time/social media and your mental health?

Margin requires sacrifice. What if we viewed money as a trap? This may most likely change the way we manage our personal finances. Ask yourself this question: What if wealth reduces my compassion?

Rest is not the absence of something, but the presence of Someone. What are some practices you can put in your life and your family’s life to help you rest more?

Our faith, which is centered on Jesus, empowers us to miss out. What if missing out was a good thing? What would it look like for you to embrace NOMO (necessity of missing out)?

Because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow. With the challenges and uncertainties of our short lives, we can face them because He lives.

Have you ever wondered what God thinks about when he thinks about you? It might be different than you anticipate.

We all have a tendency to drift from God, but we are never too far from God to restore our relationship with Him.

When it comes to what we think God is like, and who he likes, we need a much bigger perspective. The way Jesus lived was meant to expand our view of God and his love for us.

Jesus is coming to make all things right. He brings the fairy tale ending for those believe in Him. With His return, we were not made for heaven, we were made to be in His presence. What is one thing you are looking forward to Jesus’ return?

This all goes back to a father and two sons. God made a covenant with Abraham that included land, lineage to the Messiah, and Himself as the one true God (Jehovah). Now imagine God, who you didn’t know even existed, calling you out of nowhere to pickup everything you own, along with your spouse, promising that you would have kids when you couldn’t, and you don’t stop moving until He tells you?

Why does it matter who or what I listen to? Unexpectedly, Habakkuk ends his book with a song. This wasn’t common for a prophet to break out in song...but he did. Even in the darkness of the prediction (prophecy), Habakkuk knows his hope is in God. Even in the corrupt culture, Habakkuk filled his mind and soul with the promises of God and it led to a song. What can it lead to for you?

It’s predicted that Babylon would take control of Judah by force and take many of its citizens into slavery, including Daniel, who had nothing to do with the evil of the king. When it all goes down, it seems like God is silent when His people are being hurt, enslaved, and killed. Why does God seem silent?

Discipline is a necessary means to develop character and maturity. God patiently does this with His people—whether Israel or the Church—consistently. Babylon painfully conquering Judah is God’s discipline for the evil done by the kings. As the kings go, so does the nation. Why is discipline necessary? Why does God disciple His people?

Habakkuk lived during two kings with different outcomes. King Josiah led a spiritual revival, broke free from Assyrian rule and became an autonomous free state. Then after Josiah died in battle, Egypt installed Jehoiakim as a vassal king. Jehoiakim, Josiah’s son, rejected God and His ways. Why does God tolerate corrupt leaders? Why do law-abiding citizens suffer for the sins of their king?

We should fear the consequences of closing our hands more than the consequences of losing what’s in them.

Our behavior will eventually reflect the condition of our hearts.

Rules are often the centerpiece of religious life. What if a relationship with God doesn’t depend on our obedience to a set of rules?

The three largest faith traditions—Judaism, Islam, and Christianity—claim the same starting point: a man named Abraham. God made a series of promises and Abraham’s responses to those promises had large implications.

Jesus predicted he would start a movement—the church—that would spread all over the earth outlasting the Roman Empire. It would change the world. Here we are, two thousand years later, and Jesus’ church gathering is still going strong.

At some time, we could all find ourselves slipping into a bargaining posture with God: “God, if you will... I promise I will…” But how often do we keep our end of that bargain? And, maybe a better question: Is that really the kind of relationship God wants to have with us?
Jan 01, 2024
We constantly look for evidence to support what we believe. But how do we know that Christianity isn’t just a made-up concept with massive success?

Guilt is powerful. Shame can be crippling. We all have things in our pasts that haunt us. We know we can do better from this point forward, but how are we supposed to fix the past?

Everything that exists had a starting point . . . including you. You may have started on purpose. You may have started by accident (from your parent’s perspective). You may even have started through the magic of medical science. Whatever the circumstances, you had a starting point and it began before you were aware of it. Faith has a starting point as well.

During childhood, you may have been handed a faith framework through which you began to view the world. For many of us, that childhood framework didn't survive the rigors of adulthood.

As we gather on this Christmas Eve, we’ll see how Matthew using Jesus’ family tree reveals that Christmas is for everyone. The Christmas story is an invitation to come as we are, with all our imperfections, knowing that in Jesus, we find love, grace, and the ultimate gift of redemption.

Christmas is a time where we love to invite family and friends over for brunches and dinners. It takes effort and a cost. Have you ever thought about Jesus inviting you into a relationship and the cost of that relationship? We’ll learn that one of the reasons Jesus came is to invite sinners to receive spiritual healing.
