We get and seek out advice on a lot of things, but sin probably isn't one of them. But when we take a closer look at what God says through His Word, He has a lot of advice to give on this concept of sin, aka anything outside of what God wants for us. So, what exactly is God's advice on sin? 1. Our sin is worse, much worse than we think it is. Heavy, right? But on the flip side, 2. God's grace is better than you can imagine—there is nothing, absolutely nothing God won't forgive. This kind of advice is at times hard for us to take, but for us what it really means is that in our struggle God still loves us. And that advice, it can change our lives.

We all want connection, don't we? But the truth is, a lot of us are lonelier than we've ever been despite the constant "connection" we have through things like social media and our smart phones. What does true connection look like? It's actually pretty simple: we need face to face friends, real friends, sticky friends, and fire pit friends. But these types of friendships don't happen overnight. We have to actively seek this type of connection out. Starting this week let's step out, pray, and get connected. We don't have to be lonely, together we can choose connection.

Comparison and the discontent it brings have been around for centuries (just take a look at the Israelites if you need an example!). But our addiction to social media has thrown gasoline on the fire of comparison. Because of this comparison we're constantly falling into discontment—discontentment that romanticizes the past, resents today, and forfeits our future. How do we break this cycle? There's two ways out: practice gratitude and stop focusing on our giants. We don't have to fall into comparison and discontent—we haven't lost out on the good things of life, instead we've simply lost our focus.

We all have to deal with hard feelings, don't we? Feelings of stress, pain, sadness—sometimes it feels like too much. When things start to get overwhelming, we often try to numb ourselves out, whether that's through mindless scrolling on our phones, shopping, drinking too much, obsessive cleaning, or whatever. But while numbing may work for things like getting a cavity, numbing doesn't work on our souls. In fact, the only thing that will take us out of those overwhelming moments of stress, sadness, and pain is acknowledging those hard feelings, bringing them to Jesus and letting him heal us.

We're diving into a brand-new series called You Tube Fails & Rabbit Trails and Adam talks through the positive side of failure.

We all love to watch fail video after fail video on YouTube, right? I mean, who doesn't, they're pretty hilarious! But are we taking this habit of laughing at other people's failures, of commenting on their worst moments, too far? In the story of the Good Samaritan we're told about three men who had the choice whether or not to help someone who was in the midst of failure. Which person are you in this story? Which person are you in life? The good news is, Jesus doesn't comment on our failures, he erases them. Let's be people that help others up when they fail, let's be like the Good Samaritan.
