Sin creates division and conflict between us and God, but Jesus came to defeat sin and make peace between us and God.

The world tells us to be full of joy and happiness, but sometimes all we feel is grief and sadness. Joy is made possible by the promise that God is with us, and this is seen no more clearly than in Jesus.

Relationships can be messy. But because of God's grace and love towards us through the coming of Jesus, we can move from being bitter to loving others!

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.
