Oasis of Hope. God is a God of hope! Hope can be defined as the picture you see in your mind of a preferred future, that allows you to wait and persevere with anticipation through preparation. Hope is so much more than wishful thinking or pipe-dreams. True hope comes birthed from God’s promises in Scripture.

Oasis of Humility. Humility is a learned character in our lives. And that’s good news because it means we can learn to have more humility than we have now. We get to control the amount of pride or humility we display.

Respect is often earned (and forfeited) but honor is gift God wants us to give to others. Honor is simply recognizing the value in a person, in a place, or even a position. When we choose to give honor away, God pushes His best our way.

Contrast in photography is the visual ratio of different tones in an image. This difference is what creates the textures, highlights, shadows, colors and clarity in a photograph. Similarly, when we choose to put on Christ, He becomes the contrast to the darkness around us, helping others see Him with detail and clarity.

The Remix. This series has been a collection of conversations meant to help us learn what God really said about certain subjects like suffering, greed, happiness, & the ways God works. Our goal is to acknowledge that sometimes what we say, doesn’t quite match what God said. God’s Word is the one we want to believe the most.

God Works in Mysterious Ways. One of the definitions of the word “Mystery” is “a person or thing whose identity or nature is puzzling or unknown.” Many people feel this is a good description for God.
