Screens are everywhere around us. The truth is, what is around us shapes what’s in us and what is in us shapes who we are. Screens can either make us more or less like Jesus. As followers, because of everything Jesus has done for us, we are called to bring everything we have to him. […]

Tired? Exhausted? Worn out? Chances are we are missing the rhythm of rest. Rest has been the design of God since the very beginning, but many times is last on our list. The rhythm of rest is the antidote for our ragged soul. Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 12:1-14.

The rhythm that Jesus lived with the greatest detail is giving. Living in such a way that everything we have is His, is a distinct characteristic of a Jesus follower.

Law and authority can be a difficult conversation if we forget about God’s design. God brings laws into life to bring definition to life. Jesus elevates the Old Testament law by fulfilling it. Jesus brings freedom and calls us to obedience. Jesus sets us free to obey. Is that enough? Exodus 19-23, Matthew 5:17, Galatians […]

Sometimes we have to get placed in an uncomfortable place in order to look up and see God. We will never see the miraculous from God if we are sitting in our own comfort. God draws His people out in order to lead them up. Exodus 13-14, John 5:24, Psalm 40:2.

It hurts to watch others hurt. It especially hurts when it is a result of their choices. Disobedience creates discord between us and God and many times others around us. When we are looking for freedom in life, we can try to find it in the fun of life, but it will leave us feeling […]
