Life with God is not about ownership it's about stewardship. Followers of Jesus live with the awareness that nothing they have truly belongs to them. 

Scripture Text: Luke 16:1-13 NLT

The Christian life is not easy. There are challenges in every season. But learning how to walk faithfully through each season is what it means to be a follower of Christ. 

Scripture Text: Various

This year God is calling us to something foundational.

Not just setting goals—but creating identity.
Not just intentions—but building habits.
Not just where we’re going—but who we are.

Hebrews 6 reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about starting strong—it’s about continuing forward. And it shows us three truths about who we are called to be as the body of Christ.

We are called to grow.
We are called to love.
We are called to hope. 

Scripture Text: Hebrews 6:1-15; 19-20 NLT 

The Christmas story reminds us how much God loves us and wants to be in a relationship with everyone. No matter what we are going through He is always trying to get our attention and speak to us. The invitation to know Jesus is available to everyone.

Gratitude has the power to transform our attitude and outlook on life. 

Gratitude changes the way you think, act, and even look. It can even put a smile on your face. Gratitude gives a person a sense of purpose. 

Scripture Text: Jeremiah 29:10-14

How can welive in the rest of God in this busy world? God has planned a rest for us. This rest is for today and in the future. The invitation Christ gives includes rest for our souls, minds, and bodies. 

Scripture Text: Hebrews 4:1-13 NLT

How can we live victoriously when we feel exhausted, weak, and defeated?
Every Christian should know that they are in a battle, but that God has given them the tools to march forward, knowing they have the authority and power to withstand the enemy.
Scripture Text: Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT 

Sixty-two chapters are dedicated to David’s life in the scriptures—more than any other person; also, there are 59 references to David in the New Testament. Undoubtedly, David is one of the most important people in the Bible.

 David is there for his life, his courage, his faithfulness, and his humility, but he is also here for his failure and his sinfulness. Most of all, he is there for the confrontation with God’s Word and his acknowledgement and finally his restoration. He is there so we can learn from what he did right and what he did wrong.

Scripture Text: 2 Samuel 12:1-5

The difference between Saul and David was like night and day. David loved God and followed him. Saul was disobedient to God and despised David because he enjoyed God’s blessings. David was a different king—different from Saul and different from any other king. However, the temptation that came with being king was too much for even David.

Scripture Text: 2 Samuel 11:14-27

The general view of the world is that it is getting better. The bad could be improved with better education and the mitigation of poverty. However, the Bible does not see it that way. The Bible sees humanity with a depraved a nature. The Bible has a realistic view of human nature not a fantastic view. 

Scripture Text: 2 Samuel 11:6-13
