What if everything you did in this life was counted as worthless? I am not just talking about the eyes of man, but the eyes of God!

This verse reveals something we ALL struggle with and fall victim to. It's deception that we have let slip in and effect our walk with God.

It's time we take this verse seriously because until we do, we really are fooling ourselves.

There are two options when we serve God, to trust Him no matter what or to question Him at every turn.

The crumminess of life is going to happen and it keeps happening. We don't always know why but we do know if we truly trust God we can praise Him anyway.

When we choose praise over questioning and doubting we open the door for God to be glorified.

This story shows us what it's like to be a fallible human and yet have unshakable faith!

Billions… there are people who have billions of dollars in this world but they have nothing stored up in Heaven.

What most value here on earth has an expiration date, there is an end to earthly goodness.

So when we look in the Bible and find out that we actually can store up treasures in Heaven, what is that?

We know it's not money.

What do treasures in Heaven look like?

What can we do today to have more treasure in Heaven?

God doesn't promise us things for us to ignore them but to look forward to them. Let's make sure we are storing up UNENDING treasure worthy of Heaven to store for eternity.

The balance between faith and the law is COMPLICATED…

In the New Testament a lot of detail was spent on explaining how to apply this new freedom they found in Jesus from Old Testament Law (PS. No circumcision, I think that was a marketing strategy).

Fast forward to TODAY...

None of us lived in Old Testament times so we don't have to ask about sacrificing lambs, burnt offerings, cleansing rituals for purification and more... But we are still required to UPHOLD the Law... and that does require us to understand HOW to uphold the Law.

Thankfully this doesn't have to be as complicated as the enemy wants to make it, listen now to learn how to apply Romans 3:31 IRL.

Weakness doesn't often bring to mind good things. Instead we are reminded of the pain, the weight and the burden from the brokenness. Weakness is often frowned upon and equated with failure...

But God sees something so much more.

He encourages us to endure anyway, to not give up, to press through for a reason… for a reward.

God's Word teaches us that there is much to come from our weakness if we let Him reign in them instead of our own misery ruling us.

Struggling through infertility, addiction, parenthood, marriage, finances… all of these things can have so much goodness and STRENGTH when we apply this Scripture in Real Life!

Jesus fought Satan with the "Right Verse." He revealed this strategy so we could know exactly how to fight the enemy ourselves.

If we don't know the Word than we don't have access to the right verse. We could fight Satan for years because we aren't using the Word to shut him down INSTANTLY.

What's even worse is Satan is happily using the Word to manipulate us by twisting those verses, hiding the context and bringing frustration. If we don't know the Word we will fall victim to Satan and be tricked over and over again living a life less than what God has planned for us.

Listen now to see how powerful just one Scripture reference is against our enemy in Matthew 4:4 and how to apply this verse IRL. _____

Our lives are full of doors. Some we try to breakdown and some we try to lock up tight and hide.

Right now Satan and Jesus have a place in our lives. Who is on the outside and who is on the inside? Who are we giving free range to drive us in this life and who are we locking out?

Contrasting the craftiness of the enemy and the kindness of our Savior, in this episode we break wide open the fears we have of judgement now so we can get freedom for eternity FOREVER.

Sometimes we hold onto things because of how precious or necessary they are but what happens when we give it over to God?

In this episode we talk about giving away thanksgiving leftovers and sharing bacon (I don't know if that's legal so don't ask anyone to share just in case). We share about how surrendering infertility over to God turned that pain into way more than a baby. We also discussed the importance of surrendering God our time and our lives.

Only God can turn sacrifice into abundance!

God will ALWAYS take care of us! This verse is the reminder of what we must do to receive His abundance.

Grace vs Works can be debated all day long but the truth is one does not exist without the other.

We cannot take for granted the gift of grace and expect to continue receiving from God.

Grace is not a free pass, it's purpose is to drive us to DO.
