Are you here for the show? Sometimes our prayers are weighed down with our wants instead of our needs. In these times, we can easily mistake God’s provision for his silence when we are focused on our selfish wants going unanswered. It is important to remember God’s sovereign provision in our past, present and future by fully trusting Him that He knows best and will meet every need we have.

Are there roadblocks on the way to Jesus? Sometimes we may feel too helpless, caught up in the rules, or burdened by suffering. These roadblocks can either block our way to Jesus and cause us to distance ourselves from Him, or it makes us pursue Him all the more intensely. What roadblocks do you need to move out of the way to get to Jesus?

What are the marks of true faith? Jesus performed a lot of miracles and wonders, and it certainly gathered a crowd. Whever He went, people followed, hoping to catch glimpse and even experience a miracle for themselves. Are you following Jesus for what He can do for you? Are you seeking His signs and wonders, or are you simply seeking Him for a relationship?

Who are you? When we are asked this question, we typically don’t shoot out our date of birth, weight and height. We share a little about our careers or our hobbies, a small portion of our identities. Is this how we respond to who Jesus is? We may know a lot of information about Him, but do we know his heart?

What does God expect from us? If we only lived up from the expectations people have from us, we still would fall short of being pure and blameless before God. What God desires more than perfection is a selfless heart that is fully His. As we continue to lay down our life and our selfish desires, it won’t be easy as it clashes with what the world tells us to do. Yet the most gain we could achieve in the world does not matter in light of eternity. As we lay our expectations for this life at the feet of Jesus, we gain more than we could ever imagine.

Have you been a backseat driver? We often want to take the wheel or have full control when it comes to running our life. We can get attached to our past or how we think the future should look. Yet when we are living in our past or ignoring the future, we are not letting God drive our life. It’s a Patrice of taking the backseat and letting the One who has full control take the wheel.

Have you lost sight of God’s promises in the midst of a storm? Maybe this past year hit you hard; maybe you’re struggling with grief, financial stress or walking through a divorce. Whatever the circumstances that you face, God knows them deeply. Have you held onto His promises in His Word? Or have they slipped your mind while you focus on the waves?

Do you want to be wise? We all probably want to feel smart and capable in our unique roles. As we seek to have a happy and profitable life, we might miss the mark with what God truly says matters. Our security, wisdom and joy come from Him alone. As we seek God in all that we do, we are filled with wisdom and His love.

We are given a blueprint how to live. Have you ever wondered what the basic requirements are for Christians? Paul walks us through the layout of how we are called to live and serve in Acts. Follow along with Pastor Ricky as we dive deeper into what that means for us!

What is standing in the way of you and God? We all have things that we turn to, sometimes again and again, to serve as a stress-relief, comfort, venting means, passion, or inspiration. The problem takes root then these things are not honoring to God or take His place in our life. Is there something that you need to do a full turn from?
