There is one word missing from the church as it exists today that was very prevalent in the early church. Today, we hear the story of a woman whose story describes that word, and why it's at the center of Jesus' teaching.

Sometimes the stories that have the most impact begin when we are at our most broken points.

We all have a story. The stories we've lived help shape us, for better or for worse, Today, we hear a story about someone who was as far from God as he could possibly be, hated by anyone who knew him. Let's talk about Levi.

Each of us has a unique story, and those stories shape who we are and how we live, sometimes for better or for worse. Today, we hear a story about how when we are the most scared and afraid, we can find a glimpse of hope, and sometimes, even a miracle.

Everyone has a story. Our backgrounds make us unique, and every circumstance has a lesson either we or someone else can learn from. Today, we hear one of the most incredible stories from Jesus' time on earth, when he dealt with pigs, and demons.

We can all get together as one body, and it can be powerful. But what are we supposed to do now?

In nearly almost every 80's movie, at some point there is an epic montage complete with fantastic music, leaving the viewer with a compulsion to cheer for the underdog or the hero in the story. Jesus loved underdogs, too. In fact, he used them for his ministry. That should leave us with hope He can use us, too.

There are two versions of the "fishers of men" story in the Bible. One may seem a little unbelievable, but the other helps explain in detail why the apostles left their daily tasks to follow Jesus. Maybe it's time for you to seize the moment and follow Him too.

Sometimes we look at ourselves and don't feel like we're good enough for God. How could He, possibly love me? Today we talk about how the game changed with Jesus, and new rules apply.
