Hope Begins With Jesus

When you experience how Jesus transforms your life

In life we can find ourselves asking which direction to take, but

Throughout history, why have men and women been willing to die for their faith in Jesus? Why were they willing to go that far? Why would they walk the exact way Jesus walked, which included

Adversity is no respecter of persons. It doesn't matter who you are, you will face adversity, but when you walk the way Jesus walked, He is giving you the tools for Dealing with Adversity.

The Bible speaks about both joy and suffering. How do we handle joy and suffering when we see them as opposites, but they often come through the same circumstances? We can walk through both when you Walk the Way Jesus walked because you realize that The Walk is Worth It.

As you journey through each day, the steps you take will build tomorrow, but to build a tomorrow that is life giving, happens when you Walk the Way Jesus walked and you Remember the Steps Jesus took.

Followers of Jesus must take action to counter the culture and not be a bystander by walking the way that Jesus walked and speak the good news of Jesus because it is a matter of life and death. It is time to Walk and Talk.

The Bible uses this natural movement of walking to help us understand a relationship with Jesus. To live each day you are either walking with Jesus or away from him. To recognize if you are walking His way, you have to ask, Where are you walking?

How do we pray when we continue to see and experience injustice, but we are also in need of God’s mercy?

To help us break free from the discouragement and weight of injustice continuing in our world, we must pray, but we need Honest Prayer. Honest prayer that recognizes the desire within us for justice and our need for mercy.

Culture influences our lives and strives to direct us to help ourselves and build our lives upon our own power (e.g. Karma), but this creates a weight upon our lives from trying to be in control of everything and the weight of trying to be everything.

Prayer reminds us that Jesus is in control and it is not about what I have to do, but what Jesus has already done. Prayer brings Possibility. The Possibility of what Jesus can do in our lives when we surrender and freedom from bearing the weight of this life that Jesus was meant to bear.
