Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. But why did he do it? Why did Mary ask him to? And what can we learn from her?

Jesus didn't heal the ten lepers right away - hear and learn from what he did first and in which way he challenged them before changing their condition.

Do you find yourself trapped and bound in an area of your life? God has an exit strategy that will roll the stone away, awaken your spirit and get you stepping forward.

Size doesn't matter to God. He can use anything we offer to him, if it is given in obedience, faith and sacrifice. When we offer our meager resources to God, we discover that the impossible isn't.

We don't put our faith into the things we're asking God for. We put our faith in the character of God. We step out in faith as the Spirit prompts us, because we trust in the grace and authority of our Savior.

We settle for far less than what God has for us if we don't pursue people that can speak into our lives and help us: spiritual fathers, mothers, older brothers and sisters that will stretch and grow us.

If we want to connect people to Christ, we need to take our time to observe, assess and seek to understand them and their situation - one size definitely doesn't fit all.

You are not your past, your job, your sin, your success, your family, your strength, your weakness, your hits or your misses. Who you are in Christ is who you really are.

Fear is something that we all have to deal with. In our monthly leadership series, several people share about their personal fears, how they conquered them and how we too can live fearlessly.
