The kind of faith we want to develop is the kind of faith that Abel had when he offered up to God an offering more pleasing than his brother Cain.

It is often said that, "Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less." With everything that is happening in our world, it's so easy to get lost in the influence of negativity and justification.

We all have a race that God has set for each of us to run. But as we run this race, we will encounter times of pain, hardships, doubts, challenges, setbacks, and even failures. These often become quitting points, moments in our lives where we want to just give up, give in, throw in the towel, close up shop, and be done. We can’t stop quitting points from showing up in the race of our lives. But we can overcome them by applying three principles that will help us stay in the race and run to win the prize!

God called David to become Israel's next king after King Saul. When people see a shepherd, God may see a king. Never despise the little things God may be doing in your life.

God's love attacks. His love pursues us and once He grips us with His love, it will be His love that we'll learn from and draw from in how to love one another.
