What if we look over our shoulder so much that we are actually missing out on all that God has designed specifically for us?

The bigger house, the better life, the smarter kids... we are all locked in a chess match of comparison with each other. But God warns that we shouldn't be fooled; there's no win in comparison.

If Christ’s followers focus exclusively on their relationship with God yet do nothing to connect others with him, they are out of alignment with their leader! Seeking those disconnected from God models the ministry of Jesus and moves God’s kingdom forward on this earth.

Jesus announced to his followers that he didn’t come to be served, but to serve. As our heart is shaped and changed to respond sacrificially to the needs of others around us, we see our heart also shaped and changed into the image of Jesus.

God has not created us to live life on our own. When we truly connect with others, we open up a pathway to experience encouragement and accountability that lead us into a deeper connection with God.

Jesus’ very existence in this world indicates God didn’t just create us, he wants a relationship with us. Jesus modeled and taught his followers how to develop this sort of life-giving and life-changing relationship with God.

We were created to experience and enjoy a connection with God. Yet while we desire a connection, we often get distracted with external stuff that Jesus says doesn't have any lasting ability to connect us to God. Launching (or relaunching) a connection with God has a lot more to do with our heart than it does our behavior.

Scripture teaches that all we have is a gift from God's hands. As an expression of trust, God invites us to return our first and best back to him to further his mission and grow his kingdom. Listen as Wes makes the case for giving back to God and why we should consider it as part of any comprehensive financial strategy.

The average American household is in debt to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Yet if we'll listen to some of God's advice on some simple ways to get right financially, we can find ourselves making and working a plan that leads to more financial freedom than we previously thought possible!

Let's face it: All of us have struggles financially, and many of us are sensitive about it. Yet if we'll be courageous enough to open up the pages of Scripture, we'll see that from cover to cover God has a lot to say about our finances, and it's actually pretty helpful!
