Bullies come in all shapes and sizes. Wherever you find them, whatever shape they take, they all have the same goal: to control you! We can’t avoid crossing paths with bullies, manipulators, and controlling people but by knowing who you are in Christ, you won’t be vulnerable to manipulation or control. You’re not alone, you don’t have to be afraid, God has your back.

It's just a fact of life: there will be people who get under your skin. If you don't learn to deal with difficult people, you try to avoid them by separating yourself from ALL people. You can't avoid people AND obey Jesus.

Often in life, we find ourselves in a waiting room. Waiting for answers, a spouse, a child, or a financial blessing, but the real question is how are we waiting? Do you have room for God? How we wait for an answer to a promise is crucial - Are you waiting FOR God, or are you waiting ON God?

What better time is there to talk about ghosts, demons, and paranormal activity than on Halloween?! These things are everywhere in pop culture, and while the Bible warns us about them, we don’t need to fear the power of darkness. As Christians we know that Jesus has ALL authority and power and that same power lives IN YOU!

There's a lot of misunderstanding around what Heaven will be like, but the Truth is that Heaven is all of the GOOD things about this life and so much more. If we want the endurance to keep living for Jesus, we need to keep our eyes on the prize and believe that what the Bible says about Heaven is true!

YOU WILL BE JUDGED. This can be good or bad news, depending on what kind of judgment you receive. God judges everyone. Believers and unbelievers; righteous and wicked; and you want to be ready for that day. Though everyone is judged by God, as Christians, our sins don't condemn us. We are saved by grace because Jesus has already paid the price!

We are living in the end times. Jesus painted a very clear picture of what the world will look like before His return, and there are many signs that we are closer than any of the previous generations. God gave us signs to indicate the end is near, but this shouldn't be our main focus. Being close to Jesus' return means that we need to work even harder to spread His Word!

There's a lot to be learned from the early church, but one that is particularly applicable to us today is just how faith-filled it was. If we're not careful, we can develop an "it is what it is" attitude towards the darkness in our world, but what we see modeled in scripture is the exact opposite. Believing by faith in an all powerful God allows us to see things not for what they are but what they can be.

We’re SO glad to be saved, but what exactly are we saved from? HELL. Hell isn’t a popular topic today, but it’s discussed 167 times in the Bible! We need to understand how bad hell is to understand how good God is.

Most Christians have concerns about Heaven: What will we be like? Will I know what's happening on Earth? Will we be bored? Will we still be married or have a purpose? It's completely normal to have concerns about Heaven - we're trying to understand things based on our own ability, and we can't understand something so perfect! It's understandable to fear something you can't comprehend, but when you trust God and His goodness, you look forward to joining Him in Heaven.
