Often we say “yes” to many things we think are important in life. At times, these commitments take the place of the path God truly wants us to be on. We fill our lives up with so much that we tend to neglect the opportunities to serve, lead and build ourselves up in the Lord. As you listen to this teaching, ask yourself, ”What do I need to let go of so I can “fan the flame” God has placed on my heart and in my life.”

When God asks us to do something, do we lean YES or NO or MAYBE? In this teaching we talk about how to have a YES in our heart for Jesus!

The Biblical picture of the church is one of a group of people “called out” to work together towards a common goal. It is a picture of unity and diversity, where everyone has a place and a role to fill, but these roles are not all the same. Do you know what gifts God has called you to share in the church?

In this teaching, we look at three quotes from Jesus that every Christian should take some time to consider. The quotes invite us to look at our relationship with Jesus. They challenge us to grow closer to Him, to follow Him more fully, and to share our lives with Him and those around us. 

We all deal with worry, stress, and anxiety at some level in our lives. There are times when it is more pronounced—stressors in our lives arise that can take away our peace and leave us feeling vulnerable. What if there were things we could do on a regular basis—“spiritual practices”—that could raise the threshold of where anxiety breaks through our peace?

Last week we talked about “What If” Anxiety - the anxiety we carry in us about things that might happen. This week we talk about “What Is” Anxiety - the anxiety we carry about stuff that is actually happening in our lives! What causes you anxiety, and how does your faith in Jesus help you?

We spend a lot time being anxious about things that haven’t even happened yet. "What if" this or that happens? In a beautiful teaching in the book of John, Jesus offers some profound insight on how to trust Him in our anxiety. How we can not only find peace but live in a place of peace that truly changes our lives.

The #1 cause of anxiety for most people is financial stress. In this teaching, we look at the book of Proverbs to find lessons we can apply to our lives to live in peace financially.

Worship was central to David’s life. As we read the story of David we learn of his desire to build God a temple to worship Him. David had a deep passion to worship God with his whole heart. Reading about Davids' passion provokes questions we are each invited to consider," How do we approach worship in our own lives? What does worship mean to us? Are we just singing along, or are we truly experiencing the very presence of God?". 

There are a lot of times in life when we are waiting. Waiting to make decisions, waiting on answers to prayer, and waiting for big life moments. The word “waiting” carries with it the connotation of inaction, however Biblical waiting is quite the opposite. From the story of David, we can learn through his season of waiting in the wilderness. We will discover three questions we can ask regularly to encourage us during our seasons of waiting.
