The Spirit can transform you, you are never too far gone

Gossip is all around us--at work, at school, in our friendships, in our families. God is clear that gossip is harmful to everyone. Everyone suffers when gossip starts. Thankfully Jesus gave us a way to stop gossip before it starts. It's simple, but it works!

The truth is important to God, but life doesn't always seem black and white. The words we use to tell truth or to lie affect us and the people around us. Thankfully, the Bible teaches us a simple way to speak the truth.

Your words have the power of life and death. Too often, though, we fail to realize how our words affect other people. The Bible gives us some keys to using our power to build others up.

Only Jesus can free us, but we have a role to play on staying free from sin. A little known book of the Bible lays out the path to finding freedom that keeps going. 

"Don't just clean your house. Get a new owner!" When the Spirit moves into your life, the bad things can't stay. 

Jesus isn't ashamed of our shame. He wants to know us! He seeks us out! Our shame is no longer ours in Him. Jesus not only took all of our sin, but all of our shame and nailed it to the cross. Through Him we find healing. 

This is the second part of a three part series about taking control of your mind. This episode discusses how God promises peace for those who give him control. Here's the catch: you have to give up control. Imagine trusting God so much that you give him your worries, fears, and anxieties. He promises to give you life and peace in return. Ready to make the trade?

God uses people who never find themselves in the spotlight. Shiphrah and Puah had one job: deliver babies. But everything changed when they were ordered to kill every male baby they delivered. Their action teaches us what it means to be an Unknown for God.

Your greatest legacy in this life can start with what you do this year. Serving others is the key to unlocking your God-given potential. In this week’s passage, Philip wasn’t looking for a new purpose, but he found one when he started serving his church. Take a step towards discovering an unexpected purpose for your life by serving at Foundry.
