Jesus tells us that we are blessed if we are poor in spirit. What does it mean to be poor in spirit, and how can we possibly be blessed by being in that challenging position?

Jesus blesses those who mourn, which seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? For those of us who have mourned deeply, there doesn’t seem to be blessing in the midst of the distress. And yet, there is. How can that be?

As we begin our series looking at the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, we focus on what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness. In this examining we wonder if perhaps our souls have longed for Jesus all along.

What is our faith known for within our American culture? What should it be known for, and how can we work towards that?

In Revelation 2 and 3, Jesus tells seven churches what they are known for. If Jesus were to address Grace, what would He say we are known for? What would we hope He would say?

We all want our families to be successful. But what if true success actually looked more like health than prosperity? What if all of our families were known for being healthy?

What are you known for? What do you want to be known for? More importantly, what does God want you to be known for and why is it so important?

God designed and intended family to be the primary delivery system for His love and good news. But what do we do when our family hasn’t quite done that for us? Perhaps the answer lies in the good news of Christmas?

Christmas is fundamentally about noticing the unnoticed. Jesus spent His entire life doing this. So what better way to honor the arrival of our savior than to continue His example of seeing the unseen?

Sometimes life can make us feel as if we are all alone. Like God may have forgotten about us, and no one sees our plight or our struggle. But Christmas reminds us that God sees us and we are not alone.
