Jesus was clear that His joy would come as we followed one command- to love one another. In our lonely, isolated, and fragmented world we carry with us the joy of Jesus centered community. Following Jesus is not a solo project -- it is a life-together project filled with joy.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/748916590

We have a perspective problem. Our eyes are focused on distractions, worries, fears, and temptations. But what if our gaze was focused on the One who could restore our joy? What if we were filled again with a vision of the mercy, grace, and abundant love of God?Watch at: https://vimeo.com/746987421

Trust God and Seek his Kingdom - In an age of anxiety and greed, God calls us to trust him for all our needs and to seek His kingdom first through generous love to others.

Pay attention to the what is influencing you and how it forms you. Not all lights are equal in value, and some are unhealthy. To be people who are light, we must embrace the Gospel of the Kingdom and King Jesus.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/733381208

In our apprenticeship to Jesus, we need to be aware of the effect of materialist thinking and become more aware of the spiritual realness within our world. When we do this, we can be confident that when it comes between The Adversary and Jesus, we are walking with the stronger man.Watch at: https://vimeo.com/732585954
