Church is where God meets us - and where you experience God. Experiences that will heal hearts, spark faith, restore hope, save marriages and touch the lives of you and your family.

God wants us to be hopeful, expecting future good. This even changes our present condition. What are you hoping for? And how are you sharing your hope with others?

The world is full of discouragement, but our God is an encouraging God. He wants you to be an encourager of others and yourself - and there are three ways to do this.

Are you condemning yourself for what you have done in the past? That's old news, no longer true and long forgotten by God. Let him use your past as a platform to show off how great he is.

Loving our enemies is easier said than done - especially if they reject us. But do you know what "turning the other cheek" really means? You might be in for a surprise.

God doesn't always get you out of something, because he sometimes wants to get you through something. But you don't have to do it on your own - he lives in you and is with you every day.

Do you have an elephant in the room of your life? If you avoid it, it will keep growing. The only way to wrestle it down is to run to Jesus and then run at it - and God wants to help you to make the steps forward.

Do you find yourself in a situation that seems impossible to resolve? The disciples knew that feeling, too: but with Jesus' help, they were able to overcome it - and he wants to help you to overcome it as well.

We all get offended in many different ways. But God's plan for you is to be free from offenses and become better, not bitter - and to walk through life free and uncluttered from the bondage of unforgiveness.

We are all being deceived about our circumstances, believing the lies of the enemy. God's presence doesn't fix these problems, but it changes your perception so that you can fix them yourself.
