We all have a preconceived notion of what a father should be like. We most often allow it to shape our view of God as Father. We will either relate to Him well or struggle depending on our relationship with our earthly fathers. Today we talk about laying aside our ideas and coming to God with a blank slate asking Him to teach us about a good FATHER.

Our relationship with Christ does not promise that everything will be peachy. There will be some hard times and some that are down right difficult. Jesus himself even had a challenge in his humanity while in place called Gethsemane. Faced with the task of the cross before him, he cried out for God to take the cup away. We are in good company when we find it hard to accept what God is asking. Jesus goes all in with one word, nevertheless. We can develop a nevertheless attitude and go all in for God even and especially when faced with the hard things of life. Not our will but His be done. Going all in.

I'm often asked, "how do I hear God more clearly or know God is talking to me?" Well Jesus teaches us by example in his parables that God wants to reveal Himself to His children. Parables were stories with deeper meaning and a way that Jesus communicated the things and mysteries of the Kingdom of God. All those that heard the parable would not be able to fully understand but those that followed Jesus had access to the true meaning. They could hear more clearly as they exposed themselves to the light of Jesus. They would gather to the Light of the World to hear what God was saying and to gain an understanding. We too can hear more clearly when we draw closer to see the light of God's Word. There you will find His voice. 

Ever trusted in something or someone and was let down? I think we can all relate. Sometimes life is full of disappointments. Today we discuss how our trust can ground us but when that trust is in the Lord it anchors us and makes us immovable. 

When the world celebrates love it can be very conditional and temporal. We are called to something greater, a greater love and we are commanded to love each other with that love. Come let's live in the greater. 

Starting the New Year off to a great start is easy, however maintaining change is challenging. While we may desire a brand new version of ourselves we can not change unless there is change from the inside out.  

Does it really matter how we conduct ourselves in the world? Culture seems to have a different opinion than the word of God does, so what do we do as followers of Jesus. Today, we take a peek at how Paul instructed Timothy, instructions that hold even in our culture today. 

We don't often value our worth according to how God determines but by comparison to others and the circumstances we experience. Today we discuss how we are worth more than the roles we have, what society says, or the experiences we face. 

In the midst of this pandemic worry is the natural part of the human response. Today we unwrap why worry is not apart of God's plan for you and what to do when you find yourself in the midst of it.

First Friday of the month we pray together as a community of Christians.
