Some of us step into this new year with excitement and fresh vision, while others enter with questions and uncertainty. We don't all begin the year on the mountaintop. And even in the moments when God feels distant, we never walk alone.

We feel like there's never enough time, which affects us and those we love. But there is a very specific, simple solution.

We wear watches, we glance at the clock, so we don't lose track of time and yet, there never seems to be enough time. Time is our most valuable asset, but more important than knowing what time it is is knowing what to do with our limited time before it runs out.

The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush and maybe even vomit a little. Including the likes of decisions made by King David and Lot's daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God's purposes marched forward. He wants to do the same with YOUR life!

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus who wasn't Jewish--she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. However, neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way, just like He wants to do with us...

The Christmas Story as introduced by Matthew seems like the opposite of Good News as he highlights the embarrassing, scandalous members of Jesus' lineage. Yet we discover it shows how good the news truly is because of what it means for us, no matter what our background.

Jesus said, "My power is perfected in weakness." Your area of weakness is where the Holy Spirit wants to show up in a big way!

Most Christians have heard the term "The fruits of the Spirit," but they mistakenly see it as something produced by their effort rather than something only God can produce in and through them.

The Christian life isn't about how to live better. It's about learning to walk according to God's Spirit.

The Christian life is not what you think.
