In order to become who God wants you to be a decade from now, you have to start doing the right things now. In the Bible, Abraham showed the kind of step to take in order to change our future. The right step can make all the difference.

No matter how amazing your 2020 is going to be for you, you will face hard times. You can't control what you face in 2020, but you can control how you respond. In Psalm 77, we learn the key to thriving in the middle of pain.

There is an open invitation to the kingdom of God. Jesus taught that the key to being welcome is not being worthy, but something very different. 

God’s kingdom extends beyond the king. But what does it take for the reign of Jesus to become embedded in this world? Jesus’ teachings show us the way that God’s Kingdom can come in a powerful way now--and how we can be a part of that.

The first time Jesus' mom heard that she was going to have a son--she didn't know anything about the cross or spiritual salvation. But she did learn who Jesus was going to be--a King. Gods Kingdom wouldn't exist without the King. It all starts here.

Our default in life determines our impact. If we have the right default, we will leave an amazing legacy. In Philippi, Paul made a difference by keeping the same default in every situation he faced. If we have the same default, we will be unstoppable for God.

Philip was called by God to take a journey into the desert. By the end of it, he had changed the course of a whole nation. What Philip did in the desert can help us understand how we can use our time and knowledge to help One person encounter Jesus. 

Satan means "accuser." He ignores our identity in Christ and defines us by our past. He accuses us to tear us down. But Jesus is our advocate. He defends us and speaks on our behalf. Jesus was the only Righteous one. Through him, we can find a new identity and safety from Satan's accusations. 

Everything good in your life is from God, and Satan wants to destroy it. Satan hates your physical existence and will do whatever he can to end you. But we are not defenseless against him. God has given us a weapon that will make us capable of withstanding whatever Satan tries to destroy.

Satan wants to be ruler of everything-- that is his motivation. The people of God are God's treasured possession, so we have a target on our back. Satan will use our weakness and our pride to destroy anything good that will happen in or through our lives. Our only hope is to remain rooted in Christ and humble before God. When we let God fight our battles, we will be victorious.
