When our kids mess up, our tendency is to take something away from them. However, punishment shouldn't be the end goal of discipline. Restoration should be.

Moms and dads dream of a future where their kids become adults and still want to come home regularly to visit. As parents, there’s something we can do to lay the foundation for that dream to become a reality.

Ideal can seem out of reach, and it sometimes feels easier to put it out of sight. Part of being a parent is to point our children toward the ideal, while at the same time navigating what is real.

During a major epidemic, first century Christians acted in such a way that people outside the faith couldn’t ignore them. It's not enough to believe correctly. We must act on what we say we believe.

During times of crisis, there is something Christians should be doing above anything else. Doing this won’t answer why bad things happen, but it will demonstrate where our hope lies.

The right questions are not "Why did this happen?" or "Whose fault was that?" We usually know those answers. The better question: "How can we help?"

People sometimes use religion to justify positions, especially around social and political topics. But Christianity was never intended to try and win arguments. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Trouble, hardship, and adversity are inevitable in life. Eventually, we all experience a trial that seems to be more than we can bear. Some of us fight harder, some of us give up or give in, but we all want to get past it. What if there is something more to what we are going through than what we are going through? In this message, we look for the silver lining in our suffering.

We often think that where we are in life is a result of our determination and hard work, missing the reality that countless people have shaped who we are today. If we are a product of the people around us, then who is shaping us?
