As parents, don’t underestimate your influence. You have an extraordinary part of every child's miracle. You can be a Miracle Parent.

The longing for a place where we’re known, loved, and celebrated is one shared by all of us. Sometimes we get glimpses of it, but when it doesn’t happen we feel lonely, isolated and cheated somehow. We believe others have it and we wonder what it’s like.

Did you know? God is so deep that he is willing to meet us all the way down deep in the heart and soul of our sin.

Sometimes small can be pretty big. A smile can be small but lift a sad heart to higher ground when it's warm and real. God is at work all around us, so don't underestimate Him. Small is big when God is in it. But maybe it doesn't feel that way to you, what then?

Deck the halls with boughs of crazy! It's the time for decorations, shopping and everything else that makes the season bright. Couldn't we all benefit from a little perspective to help us in the chaos? Practicing gratitude is how we do it!

You ever feel boxed in? Trapped by some situation? Today’s story is about a guy who was trapped in his own skin as a result of disease.

We have health insurance, life insurance, dental insurance, and retirement benefits…just to name a few. Would it surprise you to know that a decision to follow Christ comes with a Benefits Package? See how you can accept the "Benefits of Belonging" that God has already offered.

You ever wanna ask God, "Why?" Jesus did it from the cross, so why wouldn't we? "Thank Full" takes us into the story of Habakkuk and how he wrestled with God over expectations he had about life, injustices and those who seemed to get away with evil. The many questions he asked might be the very ones we've all thought about. See how God answers.

This message concludes our series on the Book of 1 John. Over and over again, we are reminded that even though this very world we live in – as fallen, darkened, and troubled as it is – it's where God has chosen to make himself known through people like us. The last chapter of 1 John will yet again remind us to persevere because we've got what it takes to live an overcomer life, a life that makes a difference.
