After reading Philippians 2:1-11, we take a look at why humility is a game changer in our relationships with others, ourselves, and God.

We often struggle with dissatisfaction and discontentment. Gratitude flows faithfully and consistently when it bubbles up from the deep well of a heart fully-satisfied in the identity and works of God.

It's so easy to give into our feelings and allow our emotions and surrounding circumstances to rule over our lives. But there's a better way to live!

Watch to learn more about what it means to choose hope when you feel hopeless.

The church isn't perfect, but we are under the promise of progress. Jesus is building his church and inviting us to build it with him. Jesus was clear. The defenses of hell are no match for a Spirit-empowered church. We get to take back territory for the kingdom of Jesus!

God's purpose for the church was never that we would be a comfortable place for Christians to hide from the world.

He commissioned us to keep on going, keep on loving, keep on doing the work and ministry of healing people and sharing his truth. Not only did he promise to go with us; he left us with a strategy by which to complete our mission.

Jesus' idea - the church - isn't perfect. Far from it. But is the church good? While there are plenty of flaws to see, Jesus' followers can never lose sight of who we are.

We, the church, are the local, visible, outposts of his kingdom, and we all get to be part of building the church into what Jesus intended it to be... Good.

Jesus had a bold and audacious idea once. He knew he'd be leaving earth for a while, so he left something behind to do his work while he is gone...he called it the church!

Jesus gave his life for the church and commissioned the church to go show the world his love and share the truth and grace of God for the healing of all nations.

Haman invested his life into the eradication of God's people, and he lost it all. Mordecai and Esther gave their lives to the salvation of God's people, and they reaped benefits and blessings beyond their imagination. How are you investing your life?

In the life and times of Esther, God manages to use one single woman inside the palace and one single man outside of the wall, in one single fateful moment, to bring down a corrupt leader and his plot to wipe out an entire nation of people. Will you be the ONE voice for God in your generation?

The world is severely broken. We've all sinned, and the effects of sin abound all around us. Governments are corrupt, millions are oppressed, equality seems out of reach, etc. What do you do when everything around you is broken? You grow your character, you let God break your heart, and you get involved.
