The act of Murder begins with Anger in our hearts. Jesus views Anger in the heart very seriously and so should we. Jesus, help us to be teachable… #ReTrainourhearts #theseedofmurder #thesermononthemount

The standard we use to determine our worth is of ultimate importance. Jesus gave us his perfect standard in the scriptures and none of us meet the perfection standard. This reveals our need for Jesus to do for us what we could never accomplish. #ReTRAIN #sermononthemount #justokisnotok

Jesus said that his follower's influence would be like Salt and Light in a world filled with decay and darkness. As Christians (citizens of heaven) who live here and now on earth, we are to bring the influence and culture of heaven right into our own culture. #citizensofheaven #influenceyourculture #ReTRAIN #thesermononthemount

Jesus is concerned with internal change rather than external compliance. Truth: Faith in Jesus will produce internal qualities that won’t be able to be contained, It’s time for Jesus to RE:TRAIN us from the inside out. #ReTRAIN #Thesermononthemount

We all want to be happy… we wired by our creator to desire happiness. Unfortunately, we continually get our wires crossed and look for happiness outside of the Kingdom of God. Glory to Jesus, he willing showed us where happiness is found and how to be happy. #RETRAIN #sermononthemount

All of the planets in our solar system orbit and receive light and heat from the center, which the sun. In a similar way, every Christian and every Christian Church is meant to stay centered on the Gospel (the Good News about Jesus). One of our highest values as a church is that we would be Gospel-Centered in all that we are and do. #gospelcentrality #agospelcenteredchurch

As we begin a New Year it is a great time to assess our priorities. As we think about what is "most important”, it is good and right to ask Jesus what is “most important” to him. His answer may surprise you but it definitely will encourage you. #happynewyear2019 #kingdompriorities

Jesus was filled with Grace and Truth. We will need him to fill us with both Grace and Truth continually to be able love people and navigate the ever changing landscape of life. #whatchildisthis #graceandtruth

Our world is a hostile place. We are hostile toward one another and we are hostile toward God. What can bring us the peace we so desperately need? Heaven would have to make a peace offering. The King of Heaven would need to make peace through gifting us his son. Now, there can be Peace on Earth. #whatchildisthis #peacechild #advent2018

The name Immanuel was first spoken by the prophet Isaiah and means “God with us”. The name was given as a sign to remind the nation of Judah that God’s was present and active in their difficult circumstances. Whatever you are facing today, remember that Jesus is present and that he is still Immanuel! #whatchildisthis #childofwonder #Immanuel
