Advent(ure): Anxiety to Hope

The world can seem like a dark place, but it is into the darkness that God sent Jesus to be the light. Light gives direction. Light offers protection. Light gives us hope!

Live Generously: Who's the Boss?

When we have a plan, we manage our money instead of letting our money manage us. When God stays in charge, we manage our money His way!

Live Generously: Where's Your Hope?

When our wealth becomes our hope, our lives get out of focus. But Paul tells us to "put our hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." So, where are you putting your hope today?

People matter to God, so they must matter to us. We need to always stay focused on reaching those who don't know Jesus. To have God's heart for people. To make disciples who go make disciples!

We often approach our faith and church like consumers by asking, "What's in it for me?" Instead, God is calling us to serve in and as His church. The church does not exist for us, and we as the church exist for the world!

Jesus didn't come to establish a new religion. Instead, He came to invite us into a living relationship. By God's grace, we can know Him more each day and invite others to do the same.

Many people see Christianity as a "once and done" thing. But we all have another step of faith we can take—we should never stop growing until we finally go to be with Jesus forever.

Living beyond regret is not a one-time decision—it is a way of life. Every day we can recognize our regrets, release our regrets and experience redemption.

God wants to turn our stories of regret into stories of redemption. What is redemption? Only God can truly and fully redeem, redemption takes time, and redemption takes many different forms.

One of the most powerful ways to release regret is to forgive—forgive someone you hurt, forgive yourself, forgive someone who hurt you... God brings redemption and healing through forgiveness.
