Jesus said in the Gospel of John, “It is to your advantage that I go away so that the Helper will come to live in you.” How could anything be better than having Jesus Christ right here with us?! This week we discover the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. When the power of God lives inside of us, it will change everything!

How do we respond to all that is happening in our world, our country and even in our families? Is there any hope? Is there a Christian response to the rapidly encroaching evil in our world? Jesus’ disciples found themselves in a similar situation 2000 years ago. Join us as we read His instructions to His followers in their time of desperation.

A leopard can’t change its spots… or can she? Is this a biblical teaching? An equally important question is: "How does a leopard change its spots?"

When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we immediately enter a process of sanctification where God is constantly molding us into His image. In this process, God doesn’t wait for something to break so that He can fix it. He will “break” us in order to begin “fixing” us.

Well-meaning pastors and Bible teachers tell us that, “God can’t move a parked car,” when they want to motivate us to get busy for God. But is that true? Is there anything God can’t move? If God wants to move something/someone who has stopped moving forward, how does He do it? Find out this week as we celebrate two powerful women of the Bible for Mother’s Day.

Is ignorance really bliss? Does not knowing or not being aware of the evil around (or in us) really make us immune to its consequences? What does God’s Word say about our responsibility to know ourselves and our situation?

Why focus on the things Jesus didn’t say, when the things He did say are so important? Unfortunately, our pluralistic, all-inclusive culture is finding its way into our Christian culture. Non-biblical thoughts like, “God helps those who help themselves.” have found their way into our christian world view and into our churches. Bad theology that teaches self-reliance rather than complete reliance on God would weaken our faith and destroy our witness.

When something is empty, that is a bad thing. There is nothing good about empty gas tanks, empty bellies or empty promises! But when Jesus’ tomb was found to be empty, it was the Best News Ever!!! Join us this week as we discover how the news of the empty tomb can take away the emptiness we feel in our hearts.

On Palm Sunday we celebrate the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem. It should have been the victorious culmination of three years of world changing ministry and teaching. Instead, it appeared that Jesus had somehow “snapped” under the pressure of the past and what was yet to come. He lashes out three times in ways that we have not yet seen. What was happening? Was it really the pressure? Was it really His human side showing through? Or was He using every last opportunity He had to teach His followers valuable lessons they would need after His Resurrection and return to His Father in Heaven?

The busyness of life never lets up! No matter how much we do, there is always more that has to get done. As we near the celebration of the Passion and glorious Resurrection of Christ, let’s turn our focus from what I DO for Jesus to who I AM in Christ.
