What Eyes Are You Using?

A lack of vision can be dangerous, especially when it comes to how we see God, ourselves and our world. Thankfully, we’ve been given the gift of sight because Jesus gives us “New Eyes.”

1) Lack of vision has been a problem ever since Adam and Eve took the fruit that “looked pleasing to the eye” rather than listening to God.

2) It’s important to recognize that we live in a world of blindness and blurred vision.

a. Sometimes things that start off with right intentions, become misunderstood and misapplied and can actually blur our vision.

b. Our selfish ambitions can prevent us to seeing what is right in front of us.

3) Instead of talking about all the blindness out there, Christ would have us be honest about ways we’ve acted blindly.

4) Jesus gave a blind man the ability to see with His physical eyes. But they greatest miracle given to Him was the eyes of faith.

5) We get to leave the blindness behind and see what we know to be true. When we live by the light of Jesus it’s then that we can be His lights in the world!

Fully A Son. Free To Live.

So often we live like we're still under restrictions and slaves to our sin. But you've been set free. You are God's child. God wants us to celebrate that "It's A Family Thing!"

Stop Trying to Be What You Already Are!

We all have a list of things we think we need to do in order to be who we want to be. But God wants us to live in the reality of who we already are in Him!

1) God has been working throughout history in order to make us His children. 

a. Instead of sending a Savior right away, in His grace He first gave the law to show us our need for a Savior.

b. He knew the perfect time and conditions for a Savior to enter this world.

2) God’s Son became us, so we could become God’s Son.

3) When God looks at You, what He sees is His perfect Son!

4) Being a good Christian is not objective to be achieved, it’s a position of authority that we’ve already been given and from which we live!

So much about the Christmas story looked impossible according to human standards. But Christmas is not about human solutions. It's about our impossible God. Celebrate Christmas Eve 2020.

Merry Christmas!

On Christmas we celebrate so much more than great memories, but an actual event that changes everything today. Let's study together John 1:14 and consider what "Became" that day.

Rich Living!

There’s a treasure that you don’t need to hunt for to find. It came to you. Now the quest begins.

Who or what rules your life?

It's one thing to know Jesus is King. It's another thing to live that way. That's why we're so blessed to study Jeremiah 23:5-6 where we get to prepare our hearts for "A Greater King."

The King We Really Need

For all the challenges in our lives and in this world, we need more than a regular king. Jesus is exactly the King we need!

1) God’s people have often wanted a king that just makes things a little better now. But is that the king we really need?

2) A day is coming when a King will arrive that doesn’t just make things a little better, but solves every single problem!

3) This year it seems like everything has gone off the rails and unfortunately, in many ways we’ve done it to ourselves.

4) Man-made solutions just don’t cut it.

5) We don’t need a good king, we need A Greater King!
