Tim DeFor | "Live free or die!" Jesus freed us from false religion so we can have true life in him. But when the useless rules and restrictions of religion are rejected, does that mean we can do whatever we want? If not, how can we learn to live free?

Tim DeFor | Everyone wants to live life to the fullest. For Christians, this included living in the freedom Jesus came to bring. Rituals and rules can provide structure and guidelines, but too often religion steals rather than strengthens life. How can Christians keep religion from robbing them of the real freedom found in Jesus that leads to a full life?

Tim DeFor | Have you ever been forced off the road by an inconsiderate, oblivious or even road raging driver? It's scary! But what is even worse is when it happens spiritually. It doesn't have to happen to you, or the ones you love. Paul knew the dangers and instructs early Christians on how to build a resilient faith on this life journey. If you want to know how to keep your life on track with Jesus, his message is for you.

Tim DeFor | Sometimes sharing Jesus costs more than we expect. We can lose friends, family, reputation, comfort, and so much more. This may make us want to back away, withdraw, give up or pretend things aren't so bad. But what if instead, when sharing Jesus hurts, we could honestly celebrate?

Randall Coffin | A lot of things amaze us at first, and then become boring over time. Can this happen in our faith?

Tim DeFor | Celebrating wins is awesome! But what wins are worth celebrating in the lives of Christians and a church? How can you tell if the Gospel is winning? It may not be what you think.

Kiah Jackson | Being honest about your disappointment with God can move you into a deeper relationship with Him.

Tim DeFor | When what we've been waiting for finally arrives, is there a chance we could miss it?

Randall Coffin | Advent is a season of anticipation which calls for people to wait. Waiting isn't passive; it's an active, hope-filled preparation for the arrival of Jesus, first as a baby and finally, as the king.

Tim DeFor | When someone you love is coming home, you prepare for their arrival. The same is true for Christians awaiting Jesus' second arrival. How can Christians best prepare for Jesus' return?
