Jesus bears our burdens spiritually, but He also bears them through the Church. As believers, we are a source of spiritual rest to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Not in the same way as Jesus who brings salvation, but as light bearers when the darkness becomes too heavy.

What does it mean to be content? How is contentment connected to our walk with Christ?

I remember playing outside and every once in a while I’d be really caught up in my own world; it had my full attention. My mom would call and I wouldn’t hear her. If not for my brother or sister letting me know, I’d have been left outside in the dark. In the same way God is calling people around us to Jesus Christ every day! We either help people hear Him, or hinder. Are YOU A hinderer or helper? AND WHAT KIND OF CHURCH WILL WE BE?

Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.” We want to be a "seeing their faith" kind of Church!

There is no safety, there is no certainty, there is no amount of anything, that will ever fulfill you, like the fulfillment you’ll have with Jesus Christ!!! It’s time to count the cost and go all in!!!

The attitude you have when you sing your favorite worship song, should be the same attitude you have when you serve, work, or do anything else. When we don't do this, God only gets from you what you enjoy giving Him, not what He deserves!

Mike walks us through what it looks like in the life of believers as Christ turns us into holy, righteous followers.

What does it take to have a great relationship? God has given us specific instructions for exactly what that looks like!

How will the world end? What will happen? Whether we have all the answers, one thing we do know; God has already written the ending!
