Are you willing to allow Christ to use you for His will, to further His kingdom?

Who do you say that Jesus is? This is the only thing that truly matters. Do you recognize Him as your Father?

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we followed just these two commandments? Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

When we want to know how to interact with those we disagree with, we should look at Jesus.

This Thanksgiving, reflect God’s glory and choose the centerpiece of generosity to resemble your Father!

Let’s talk. God loves you and desires a deeper relationship with you. If you’ll only humble yourself to His authority and Lordship over your life. Why? Because He is worthy!

What are you trusting in today? Is it Jesus?

God calls us to live thankful lives.

God isn’t keeping something good from you by saying no. He promises to deliver something even better.

Today might be a good day to stop and examine our lives. We may claim to know Christ, but is there fruit in our lives, evidence of His redemptive work?

Don’t give God your leftovers. Allow him to be The Feast you indulge in and come away eternally filled by His Spirit to the fullest!

God created the church as a place to worship and serve Him. It’s a place to learn, become a family, and minister to those in need.

Will you be ready for His return? He is patiently waiting for you to surrender your heart to Him.

Hearts that are quick to thank and praise God get God’s attention in a big, miraculous way!

This morning, stop, and talk with Him. Tell Him of the burdens you carry and what you desperately want. And then trust in Him to deliver.

Everyone can use a fresh start.

Lord, less of me and more of you.

The hope we have in Jesus Christ is something that many don’t understand.

Jesus was known for His humble nature and loving manner, not a hurried and chaotic busyness.

Today, let us be looking for ways to put others first. How can we serve one another? How can I be more like Jesus?

And this is God’s will…

Because we’ve been forgiven, we can forgive.

What legacy will you leave?

Lay it down. Everything you are trying to prove, whatever you are trying to earn, lay it down. Come to the foot of the cross.

Be aware that your approach is perhaps more important than your information. Don’t be out of step, out of control, or out of line when you attempt to love and respond to others.

How often does God pull us from the darkness, revealing His beautiful plan and light to us, and yet we find ourselves back there again? How quickly we forget.

Living a life of integrity and honesty is only possible with the Belt of Truth wrapped around us.

Make that commitment today. The commitment to follow what the Lord had originally intended for marriage, before our sin polluted it.

So what do we do? If we have been forgiven so great a debt, one that we cannot repay, time and time again, what should we do when someone wrongs us? Forgive.

Lord, help us love like You love.

The Father’s voice, even in conviction, is full of love.

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we must lay aside our flesh and follow the Lord’s lead.

Jesus came to save the lost. And He’s still in the business of doing just that. It’s His main priority! Is it yours?

Anticipate “in your face” battles, not merely “let’s pretend” childish scrimmages. Be ready. From pretend pirates to skilled swordsmen, let’s suit up and execute His battle plans while holding fast to the victorious finish He has already secured.

Jonah’s powerful prayer reflects that he is now ready to do God’s will…even when it still probably doesn’t make sense to him. He gets what we all want in life: a redo.

Far too often, I pick up the burdens I’ve promised to give over to the Lord because I think I can do this. I can fix this. I can make it better. But all of my efforts are poor attempts compared to His righteous and perfect plan.

May we obey when God calls.

Have we settled for something less than what Jesus intended for His church?

Jesus knew that the resurrection would come. He knew what it would be like to be reunited with the Father in Heaven. He wasn’t focused on the pain ahead, but the joy that was coming.

Learn the lessons that separation can bring, but run when you spot home. Your Father always leaves the light on.

Fall to His feet and trust in Him. This is where true faith is built.

Put down the phone. Close your laptop. Be present in the life you have been given. Take joy today in the time the Lord has blessed you with!

God desires our obedience. He wants a heart that loves him so much, it is willing to trust and obey Him…even when it’s hard.

My impatient and anxious heart can get the best of me, how about you? Lord, we know You have great things in store for us. Help us to learn to trust You, Lord!

When Jesus told us to love others…

When we are afraid, we can turn our eyes to our Savior.

We must show others the same compassion Jesus has shown us.

Far too many will accept Jesus, but never experience the true reward of having a close relationship with Him.

David appeals to the very nature of who God is, not his own competence or luck, thus a teaching moment for witnesses and recorded for us. As your Goliaths appear in life’s challenges, learn from David.

Jesus is there, even in our blindspot.
