As Christians sometimes we confuse saying what is right with doing what is right. This week we see some practical teachings from Jesus that help us know the difference.

God has a vision and a plan for your life, and no matter how far you may have wandered away from that plan, or Telos, He has the resources in place to bring you back and see it through to the end. But it requires our obedience along the way.

Americans are all about value. We will trample each other for a 50% discount on pretty much anything. God’s idea of value is completely different. And, quite frankly, it’s better.

What if someone convinced you that you could change your workplace or family or school or or neighborhood for the better? What if it wasn’t really complicated? It’s not.

Whether it's from the media, something we've read, or through a conversation, many of the negative ideas we have about ourselves were told to us by others. The best thing we can do to combat this is turn to God's truths through Bible reading and engagement with people who lift us up.

Sometimes worrying feels like you are accomplishing something. However, just the opposite is true. What would your life look like if you removed worry? Is that even possible?
