In order to put God first in our lives, we must root out the gods that compete for our affections.

Like our planet, which cannot be understood apart from acknowledging the centrality of the Sun, so we cannot understand who we are and where we are going without acknowledging the centrality of God.

Who are you serving? It's important to serve for the right reasons.

We need each other to grow up in Christian character.

Fellowship is never better than the quality of our relationships. We need to approach each other with selflessness and humility.

We can reach out with the Good News of Jesus Christ more effectively when we do it together - in small groups - and when we lead with our hands and feet.

Lots of products offer to change your life, but when it comes to character, only God can change us. And God uses fellow believers. 40 Days of Community.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of overcoming fear in life.

Confident living is love, not fear.
