Experience Church

Five mothers share about chosing joy in all circumstances, speaking positive if you want to see the positive, slowing down and setting aside your plans and lists and cherishing moments instead, that you are never alone and about covering your (future) kids with love and seek the Lord fervently for them.

How are you dealing with distractions that keep you away from communicating with God? Right at the beginning of his book, James shows us a great method to cut through the noise and busyness of today's life.

Heaven is God's ultimate grace. Heaven is not boring and not make-believe, despite what some people want to tell you. But heaven is not something that you can put off until later.

God's mighty grace does not just work through individual believers. When we are filled with God's grace and come together as one to operate in our gifts, cities and nations are transformed.

God wants to astound you with his grace. He is constantly thinking of how to bless you - not how to curse you. Focus on him, not on your own efforts.

How do you respond to the good news that forgiveness and grace are completely free and unmerited? Do you point fingers and condemn others or do you embracde it wholeheartedly?

Cities are important for God as places of influence, potential, reach and mission. You might think that your city is there for you - but God's plan is for you to show his grace to your city.

Are you feeling burdened by your past and the judgment of others? Jesus has your back, but he wants you to leave your sinful life behind and to be transformed by the power of his grace.

A very practical way to experience God's grace is having communion with one another. Are you participating in it routinely and without much consideration? Then Paul's words are here to remind you what it really means.

Don't change the subject with God: his subject is grace, but we want to make it into religion. But religion will cause you to miss what God is trying to do through you.
