How can confession be something that brings freedom to us when it feels so uncomfortable to do? But when we bring our sin into the light of trusted community, it breaks the power of sin and moves us into greater healing and wholeness.

We all have blind spots — areas of our character we’re not aware of — which sabotage our relationship with God and others. That’s why we need people in our lives who are willing admonish and confront us. We need people who love us enough to do that for us, and we need to do it for others even though we may be tempted to look the other way. But true love involves stepping out of our comfort zones to admonish and rescue fellow believers in need.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for anyone to do. When we’ve been wronged, we want justice, so it seems unfair to simply forgive. So why are we told repeatedly in the Bible to forgive? What does it mean to really forgive someone? And how do we go about doing that?

Serving is kind of like eating vegetables — something we know we should do, but don’t actually want to do. But a funny thing happens when you serve: not does it help those you serve, it helps you as well. It’s the contradictory blessing of serving: emptying yourself for others will make you full.

On 59 occasions, the New Testament uses the phrase “one another” when referring to how we’re to treat others. These commands form the basis for all true Christian community. Jesus gave the first “one another” which is foundational for all that others: "love one another as I have loved you." But if we’re to fulfill this command, we must understand how Jesus demonstrated love in his earthly ministry.

The beauty of the gospel is that Jesus not only saves us, He transforms us as well. The story of Rob and Roxanne McArthur is a story of transformation. Todd and Lauren sat down to interview the McArthur’s about how Jesus took them from personal and marital brokenness to leading a thriving church in northeastern Scotland.

A recent study found that 9 out of 10 Brits aged 16-29 feel their lives lack meaning and purpose. But you are more than the product of chance, God created you for a purpose. As we walk with God, He will guide us into His purposes for our lives.

Jesus said, 'If the Son sets you free, you are truly free.’ What does Jesus mean by free? Is it the freedom to do whatever you want, or the freedom to do what is right? And what about Christians who aren’t experiencing freedom? The journey of the Christian life is to learn how to live in the freedom Jesus has given us.

Guilt, regret, and shame over past mistakes is an emotion we experience more than we'd like to admit. We attempt to deal with it either by earning forgiveness through religious rituals and good deeds, or by trying to justify or minimize our mistakes. But what we really need is the forgiveness Jesus made possible through the cross.

Rejection can be one of the most painful wounds we deal with. But what if you really knew you ARE chosen — adopted by God to be His child? That could change everything.
