Many of us think hearing God is for the spiritual-elite. But Jesus said that “my sheep can hear my voice” — which means hearing God isn’t reserved for the few. Any Jesus follower has the ability to hear His voice if we’ll make the choice to listen.

The story of the Burrs is a story of restored identity. Todd and Lauren sat down to Interview the Burrs about how Jesus rescued them from a life of rejection, abuse, and disillusionment to pioneering a charitable arts organization in Belgium. Their lives powerfully illustrated the redemptive truth that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

We believe God is calling our church to a year of mission in 2020. But what does that meant to be on mission? Why is it important? What will that practically mean for my year? It’s important to know the answers to these questions if we’re going to accept Jesus’ invitation to join Him in his mission to seek and save the lost.

We all want to see growth in our spiritual journey, but there are a lot of things in this world that put us under pressure to compromise in our faith. But when we learn to set our sights on heaven we are able to bring heaven into our reality and keep a steadfast faith.

As we conclude the Holiday season, how do we move into the new year without forgetting what God accomplished in through the infant in the manger? It is helpful to see how three characters in the Nativity Story moved on from their experience of the newborn Christ.

The theme of light and darkness is used many times throughout the bible. In fact, Jesus tells us that we should walk in the light so that the darkness won't overtake us. But what does it actually mean to walk in the light?

Christmas can affect us all so differently. For some, it’s the highlight of their year. For others, it’s the most painful time of year. But for all of us, Christmas is the reminder that God has not forgotten us. Through Jesus, God offers us what no one else can offer. The question is: are you willing to open the door of your heart to him?

We all long to belong somewhere — somewhere where we’re both known and unconditionally loved, warts and all. Natural families don’t always provide those things, but the church can. God created the church to be a family — the family of God where we can provide the love and support we all need to live out our faith. What does it mean for you to be a part of God’s family?

Humility is a crucial ingredient in healthy relationships. But what does the Bible mean by humility? Is it just about belittling yourself or having low self-esteem? And how can we develop genuine humility in our lives? We must embrace true humility if we’re going to flourish in our relationships with God and one another.

Some people dismiss Christianity as a crutch, but anyone who has tried to live the Christian life knows that it’s hard! Following Jesus means we're often swimming against the tide of culture, battling temptation, or encountering spiritual warfare. We can become like shell-shocked soldiers who have been in battle too long. That’s why we need to encourage one another. But what does it really mean to encourage someone? How do we “put courage” back into someone who has lost heart?
