Change is an inevitable part of life. It happens when life takes a new turn or when life takes on new challenges or surroundings. One of the biggest changes recorded for us in the Bible would have to be the change that Joshua faced when he filled the shoes of Moses. If you are facing personal change, God has some advice for you through this powerful story.

If you read through the Bible you find that tragedy happens on almost every single page. It’s a reality of life, but God doesn’t leave it there. He offers us the tools we need to overcome. Join us as we learn to press on victoriously, and how to help others do the same.

Hope: you can’t live without it, so what do you do when you are in danger of losing it? In Lamentations, Chapters 4 and 5, we will look at one of the lowest points in the Old Testament history of Israel, and see how God restores hope to hopeless people.

What does it mean to be Biblically content? How do we resolve the N+1 challenge? How do we avoid the path toward addictions? We will turn to Scripture and learn how to navigate the wilderness of dissatisfaction, disappointment and consumerism in our culture. Join us as we discover together God's eternal insight for our lives.

How a life, a ministry, or a relationship ends is absolutely crucial to everything that goes before it. That is why we are going to look at what the Bible says about finishing the race. Will you finish with the same fervor with which you started? One of the defining factors of great people vs. good people is they finish strong.

The Bible teaches us that the greatest people in the kingdom of God are those who put others first. The mandate goes beyond our deeds and applies to even our words. What role do our words play in elevating others ahead of self? James, the New Testament writer, has some specific things to say in an attempt to change the way we think in order to transform the way we live.

One of the prevailing attitudes of mankind is: “Great people do for themselves; good people do for others.” That may be the way we do it in America, but that’s not the way we are suppose to do it in the kingdom of God. Jesus taught that great people put others first. If you want to be great, you must be last. What does that mean and what does that look like? Let’s let God’s word change the way we think in order to transform the way we live.

In our society, being called a loser is the ultimate indignity. For most people, winning is everything, and if it’s not everything, it still beats losing. I want to suggest to you that winning isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. We are going to see how the flip side of winning—known as losing, can benefit our lives in tremendous ways.
