Thinking About Others
Do you enjoy talking about things you are interested in? As much as we like to talk about the things we are passionate about, does that reflect how we are called by Jesus to be?
You Only Live Forever
YOLO, right? How about YOLF (you only live forever)? The believer in Jesus should never feel like life ends! How will we, as Christians, allow the joy of Christ to fill us to a point where we process life with the YOLF mindset? Check it out!
The Start of the Continuation of the Movement
In Acts 1, Jesus challenges His disciples to be a witness for Him. The same challenge is for us today. Am I going to be a part of the Acts story that hears the call of Jesus to be His witness and immediately does it, or am I going to be a person who hears the call but decides my own way is a little bit better?
Alone With God
Isn’t it fascinating that amid chaos, Jesus Himself had to intentionally take time to be alone with His Father? I wonder, where could we personally invest as Christians to follow this example of Jesus in our day-to-day life?
It’s Time to Celebrate
Celebration is an incredibly significant part of our society. There is something about celebration that we long for! Today, I want to challenge us: what are we doing to celebrate the salvation that we have been given through Jesus? Shouldn’t we be “praising God with a loud voice” constantly, giving Him thanks for all that he’s done for us?
Un-Paralyzed
What does it look like to abide in Jesus as one of His disciples? This isn’t an easy idea! Here’s the thing, though: getting out of a place where we are stuck isn’t easy. It takes effort, patience, and, oftentimes, pain.
But, the freedom of Jesus is absolutely worth it.
Life Changing Words
We often use the phrase “life-changing experience” pretty loosely. But there are experiences that change who we are and the course our life is going to take. Jesus should be one of them….
Together in Christ
Today, do you believe that the church is the body of Christ, and what are you doing to make sure that we are better when we are unified together?
The Temptation Battle
Jesus quoted scripture to help fight off the temptation He was facing. What is going to be your methodology next time you are faced with this temptation? What are you going to tell yourself in order to flee from the desires of this world?
What Inspires You?
In the early 2000s, Walt Disney Imagineering (the creative geniuses behind the Disney Parks) set out on a mission to build a thrill ride that could rival anything in the world. Instead of simply building an epic roller coaster, they wanted to tell an immersive story that allowed guests to feel like they were legitimately going to face peril in a setting that was not in the United States. They wanted to build a ride that seemed to journey through…
The Faith of the Blind
In Mark 10, we see a passage of scripture that illustrates the beauty of Jesus and the incredible faith of an individual. This story begins in verse 46.“And they came to Jericho. And as [Jesus] was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.”We are quickly introduced to an individual whom many of us would avoid: a beggar sitting next to a well-traveled area. Unfortunately, nearly…
God the Creator – Have You Met Him?
Has there ever been a sight so beautiful it just takes your breath away? Perhaps you have gotten the chance to stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, or overlook the Rocky Mountains, and those stunning sights have caused you to find yourself speechless; you have been unable to put the beauty you see into words. In those moments, it is almost impossible to avoid breaking out in songs of praise to our God. He has created…
