Do you know your spiritual gift? Are you using your spiritual gift? Your gift holds the power and purpose of God for you to bless others.

Just like mothers shape their children by nature and nurture, God has shaped you for significance. God has designed and developed you to be uniquely you.

God has plans for all who doubt. His patient grace and powerful truths give us new confidence. And who better to tell people about the certainty of God’s promises than those who have struggled to believe?

The word companion means “with bread.” Jesus shows himself to be a companion on the journey of some followers when he breaks bread with them. He is also our bread of life. He satisfies the soul like nothing else.

God does not call us to do something safe or comfortable. Faith responds to the call of God and takes risks. Then we learn that God can come through. And God can do what we can’t do on our own.

We love comeback stories. Like David and Goliath. Or the underdog in the national championship. Or the special needs boy who saves a neighbor’s life. But we too easily believe they happen to others and not to us. Jesus has something to say about that.

Winning is an achievement that makes us cheer loud and long! But victory can fade into the past and new challenges beat us. Jesus rose from the dead and defeated your greatest enemies so that you can live in victory celebration every day. And forever!

There is no such thing as a full-grown tree. The day a tree stops growing, it dies. There is no such thing as a full-grown person or a full-grown church, either. Is it as simple, then, as grow or die?

Are you happy most the time? How often do you feel carefree? Are you excited about your future? We all strive for the good life, yet Jesus gives us something even better. The full life.

Amber nervously raised her violin and in the audience she saw her mom—smiling, approving, no judgment or fear, just eager for the best performance in the world. And that’s what Amber did, because of her audience of one. How can you focus more often on Jesus as your audience of One?
