Confession and forgiveness help clean up our lives. When we don't use them, we fill up with things that are toxic to our souls.

What sustains you? God offers us spiritual food; is it sitting uneaten? Do we take in a balance of grace and correction?

We all have places we keep old things. Are you holding on to things left over from your life before you met God?

Imagine your life has a living room. How is it decorated? How do you represent yourself to the world? And is that image true?

God has given us a set of plans to build our lives: the words of Jesus. But plans only work if you follow them.

God calls us not just to Heaven, but to a grand adventure here and now. Jesus is at work now, and He asks each of us to follow Him.

Why come to Sunday morning church service? Because God told us to. To gain spiritual training. To hear God's leading. And to thank God for all He's done.

Be honest with God. Express your doubts and fears. Give thanks for the good things in your life. We took time to share them today.

Pastor Shep and his wife Jan lived out Psalm 91 during the Yom Kippur War. God protected them, and the words became real.

God is not your enemy. In your rough times, start by trusting Him. Check your perspective. Then worship. (Seriously. Try it.)
