Experience Church

Contentment is not a matter of settling down or an excuse to not press in for more in life - it's a matter of being settled on the inside, trusting that God is at work in the midst of any circumstances.

Your weaknesses and limitations are not an accident. God purposefully allows them in our life so he can demonstrate his power through us.

What do people think when they see a church building or a cross? How did our reputation become so bad? And how can we change things and help people to get a fresh revelation of God's love?

Take action right in the middle of your crisis: allow this challenge to increase your capacity - not make you shrink back, take a break, pull back! Enlarge now - that's the work of faith.

No matter what shake-up is happening in your world, you can counter it with the song of faith.

If we see God as a friend, we set the parameters of the relationship as conditional. But our greatest relationship needs all require unconditional love, forgiveness and acceptance. How do you connect with God? As a friend or as your father?

The determination of your purpose - the thing "I must" do - doesn't come by scheming, planning or deciding - it comes by revelation. You don't work it out in a classroom and you don't choose it as a starry eyed kid or at a career vocation class. You find it on your journey out in the field like an explorer.

Jesus grew in wisdom and favor with God and men because he was obedient to his earthly parents and to His heavenly Father - let's seek for a commitment to grow in wisdom this year as we experience more supernatural activity around and working in and through our lives.

Many times, the Bible compares us Christians with trees - and like them, it's important that we are grounded and that we are getting the right spiritual nutrients.

Great marriages are a powerful influence and inspiration to the people we live alongside of in our communities - and a powerful influence to the children that come from that marriage.
