Jesus gives us joy and shows us what true joy looks like.

In the Christmas story and still today, God shares the message of His Son with and through the humble.

We can learn a lot about God’s love and care for us from the four seasons.

When we stand before our Lord and give an account for what we have done with what we have been given, what will we say?

Let’s intentionally choose gifts from the Savior’s circular this year for a guarantee of never having to wait in lengthy return lines!

Let’s get to the heart of the matter. How many people have you shared with about what God has done for you?

In a world where we get answers fast, God wants us to be willing to wait because that’s when our faith develops.

Jesus teaches us how to be fishers of men.

God is the One who assigns what we are to carry.

And we have the opportunity to hold God’s word in our hands and allow it to speak life, hope and freedom into our lives every day.

He came to seek and save the lost. He brought a warning to those that deny Him of what was to come if they didn’t believe.

The Wise Men didn’t post their attendance to social media, tag themselves in an exclusive photo shoot, or attempt to gain access to Jesus for personal or political gain. Their overflowing hearts of gratitude simply needed His presence.

There is a beautiful land waiting for those that believe in Jesus Christ and follow Him, trusting in His work of salvation. It’s hard to imagine now, but there is great joy ahead.

They had heard their Captain speaking, they had been warned, and yet, they chose to do their own thing.

They stood face to face with the One who knew them best; all their shame on full display. They had two choices: deny everything and the one who accused them, or admit their wrongs and ask for forgiveness.

If we truly believe that it’s all about Him, wouldn’t we be more in agreement with scripture to provide His hope through friendship, inclusion, and a hug that says, “There is room for you here!”?

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.
