When you and I are feeling anxious and worried our Savior tells us to look up ... at the birds in the air as a reminder of His care and provision.

Hebrews 11 give us a unique 'class picture' of the patriarchs of the Old Testament. The writer doesn't have to ask, "Where are they now?" We know. By faith we share the very same hope and certainty.

The Scriptures are careful to remind us that Jesus is both true God and true man. And so we confess in the Apostles' Creed, "I believe ... in Jesus Christ ... who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary." But why is this important?

In movies posters of mighty battles they usually show battle-hardened warriors. They don't show a picture of sheep. But Jesus didn't say, "Fear not, mighty band of soldiers." And He didn't choose this image by accident. So why did Jesus say, "Fear not, little flock"?

At this time each year in mid-August the Pereid Meteor Shower is real treat for stargazers. The promise God made to Abram is another good reason to look up at the night sky. Rolled up in that promise was also one for you and me. And it's breathtaking!

How would you feel if your treasure was sitting in a blue tote, collecting dust in a storage unit? Would your heart sink if you heard it was repossessed? God has given us a treasure that is secure and inexhaustible.

It's popular these days to want to describe the Christian life as one easy sprint to the finish line. It may not feel that way to you. You may feel like you're trudging through mud and thorns. Some would say "Look up." Paul has got even better encouragement for you.

What does it mean when we say in the Apostles' Creed, "I believe in Jesus Christ?" It means so much more than simply acknowledging His historical existence. That's simply a matter of historical fact. So, what we saying? It's actually quite profound, wonderfully personal, and eternally comforting.

A stream of studies in recent years show that people want more than a paycheck. They want meaning and purpose in their work. Nevertheless, despite that desire, very few claim to have found it. What are you beyond what you do?
