REALLIFE Spokane

Like a skilled master builder our hearts long to build on the foundation of Jesus. Build a house that will last. Build a people that will be able to endure the testing. Build a family that is built on the strength of Jesus’ kingdom. 

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Jesus is coming – will He find us patiently waiting for Him?

No one thinks they are wealthy – No one thinks they are rich – yet our lives that are consumed with luxury and self-indulgence says we are. The seduction of wealth threatens to own us – yet I believe we can become stronger than that seduction.

Humility Is Freedom – when we are arrogant – we feel we are entitled to judgement…when arrogant we are bound by a self-determined course that we have no control over.  Humility frees us from the judgement and boasting attached to pride. 

We all experience competing desires with other people and within ourselves. Responding to those desires with humility and submission is what characterizes Jesus’ church. 

We are a wise and understanding people. We are a people who sow peace in every relationship we have. Our influence is growing not shrinking. We are loving more. We are serving more. We are keeping people our priority in the place Jesus has given us. We have been called by God to reach this world for him. We believe that we are given this amazing family, school, workplace, neighborhood to see the kingdom advance in people’s hearts. We are where we are on purpose.  

The tongue is a restless evil that God’s people learn to tame. Like a wild animal, our tongue must be brought under control so we don’t destroy the work of God.  

Faith is incredibly important as a disciple of Jesus! But faith has to go far beyond mere mental assent to what is true. True faith will produce action and meaningful change in our lives. In fact, faith without those actions is actually dead.

Why is judgement infecting the church? How can we stop it? Why is it important?
