Do you remember the phone number you had as a kid? The older we get, the harder it is to remember important things. The most important thing is to remember what it really means to be commit yourself to God.

It’s Graduation Season, where graduates are frequently asked, “What do you want to do with your life?” Good question. The bigger question is about how we are to live? Peter encourages Christians to remember that people who don’t believe are living all around you. Live such good lives that they will see the good you do, and give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again.

People have a lot of different ideas about what it means to be a Christian. The big question is why don’t we see how being a Christian changed the life of people in the Bible?

Are you ever confronted with the pivotal moments in life and find yourself asking, "Okay God, what should I do next?" Chris honors our high school graduates as he points them to their relationship with God being key to those "next steps" moments.

People who believe in God would probably tell you that they want Him to work in their life. As long as it’s the work they want done! But that mentality expects God to be my servant instead of my being God's servant! I’m pretty sure that’s not the way following Jesus is supposed to work! So what can I learn from Acts 3-4 about letting God work in my life?

It's construction season in Ohio and the orange barrells are in full bloom! We even have detours currently to get to MCC. The thing about detours is you're never really sure where you are or how long it will take to get where you're going. We can get the same feeling when we’re trying to let God work on us. What are we to do during these "detour moments"?

We look to Mothers to be a source of life and love. They nurture, protect, and encourage. They are self-sacrificing care-givers. Because of that, mothers also teach us how to trust. But life & people have a way of draining our willingness to trust others.

Jesus didn’t tell us to BECOME the light of the world. He didn’t say we MIGHT be the light of the world. He said we ARE the light of the world, as in, it’s not optional. So whether we like it or not, what people think about Jesus is directly connected to our actions, our kindness and our generosity. The only question is: are we shining bright—or just flickering?

How do you make sense of something that doesn’t make sense? Most of us freeze with indecision or “Paralysis by Analysis.” It’s like trying to choose something to watch on Netflix but not being able to pick what show to watch. So, What do you do AFTER Easter? Can you even begin to imagine what it was like for Jesus’ disciples after realizing: “He’s Alive!?” What about you? How has His resurrection made a difference in your week?

Just because something is hard to believe, doesn’t mean it’s not true. The idea of Jesus being raised from the dead was initially hard to believe, even for His followers. Believing in the resurrection of Jesus is what separates followers of Jesus from every other faith. And it’s the belief that God can do something that we can’t even comprehend that gives us hope.
