Worship is so often entertainment based and how we feel about music. But worship is so much more. Worship is the love language of our relationship with God.
Deepening our understanding and practice of obedience, when rightly understood, frees us to live our best life and be a friend of God.
A Post Resurrection Breakfast Transforms How We View God Embedded in the power of the cross and resurrection of Jesus is a very personal lesson in how we deal with failure. Every one of the disciples, foremost among them Peter, denied and abandoned Jesus in His greatest time of need. Yet, a breakfast the risen Jesus prepares for His disciples transforms men who were failures into men who were world changers.
Jesus' interactions with Levi (Matthew) and Nicodemus show us the power of what it means to step into the risk of growing into the new things to which God invites us. The right expression of vulnerability within authority leads to a flourishing life.
The hospitality Jesus modeled for us changed the world. It is a powerful way of living that shows respect and friendship to one's friends and those who some might call enemies -- but Jesus ate with His "enemies" in hopes of making them friends.
We all need something meaningful we are called and compelled to do in life. The Bible speaks clearly to us of both our need for meaningful purpose as we follow God, and also of the perseverance and faith needed to achieve great good for God. Todd Roese, our missionary to Russia and the founder of the Autism Care Collective and the Autism Care Center invites us winsomely and clearly to live our best life with God.
Jesus has a meal with a woman and a Pharisee and illustrates how radically different faith and life are than we normally tend to think. In doing so, Jesus gives us the only basis upon which we can live without judgment and still hold to healthy and unhealthy, ok and not ok, right and wrong.
Jesus does a miracle that people often ask, "why?" If you ever think, "I'm not going to ask for prayer about ____________, because there are so many bigger things in the world," this meal with Jesus shows us He is interested in the big and small things. And it also reveals how to live in joy, even in the midst of sorrow or difficulty.
If you want to experience God, you have to be willing to risk it.
Miracles and Healing Still Happen Today Join us as we look at what the Bible says about the miraculous and give examples throughout history including current day, doctor verified healings.
Paul tells us through the Holy Spirit, God gives us gifts to be a part of bringing His love and presence to others around us. Even though the church he is talking to is full of dysfunction, he still says eagerly desire the gifts, practice them, and learn to walk in them - especially prophecy.
From cover to cover in the Bible and throughout history the power of the Holy Spirit is evident. Jesus says He gives His Spirit to all who follow Him.
The Holy Spirit from creation on is often referred to as the life-giving breath of God. What does that mean for how we know and engage in the ministry of the Holy Spirit? Join us for an in-depth look and practical ways we can partner with the work of the Holy Spirit.
A full and vibrant faith comes when all of the people in the church are equipped and using their gifts.
We spend so much times striving and pressing to achieve in life. The whole time the Holy Spirit is with us and wants us to be where we are supposed to be in life more than we do. What if we learned to go with the flow of the Holy Spirit?
The majority of American Christians don't see or relate to the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. They see the Holy Spirit as a symbol or a force. But God in the Holy Spirit is so much more personal. Join us in personally praying this prayer, "Come, Holy Spirit" and encountering God in deeper, more personal ways.
Living a good, deeply meaningful life is mostly about refocusing regularly on what is most important in life. Today we examine how the gospel is intended to reshape every motivation and desire of our heart in a way that makes life so much richer than what we experience so often.
Jesus has a breakthrough for us; His compassion leads us to redemption. John 1, John 4
It is so easy to miss the awe and wonder of God all around us. The Christmas season reminds us how greatness can happen right in front of you and so many can miss it. What if we reconnected to the awe and wonder of God on a daily basis?
In our cynical world, the message of one of the most loved, little known characters in the Bible inspires us to live differently.
Two little known people give us tremendous insight into the power of reconciliation, in their lives, in our lives, and in our culture.
A little known man named Ananias shows us that ordinary lives become extraordinary in God's hands when we do two simple things.
