  • December 9 - Discipleship, Part 2 (Wednesday)
    Do you know what you are supposed to care about more than your family?  Do you know what you're supposed to care about more than your possessions? Being a Christian and being a disciple are the same thing.  Being a disciple means that compared to how much you love Jesus, your care for everything else looks like hate.  
    Luke 9:57-62 - Discipleship, part 2

  • December 6 - Thankful, part 2
    The most familiar verse in all of the Bible are in the middle of a story about a man who took a chance to believe Jesus when other's didn't.  
    There were rumors that the reason Jesus could perform miracles was because He was of satan.  Religious leaders looked for reason to discredit Him and call Him a liar.  But one of their peers went to Jesus in the cover of darkness believing He was exactly who He said He was - our only hope. 
    Thankful - John 3:1-21

  • December 2 - Discipleship (Wednesday)
    A small portion of discipleship is meeting over coffee and going through the Word.  Instead, it's more like sharing our lives with each other.  
    That's what Jesus did.  He didn't have huge crowds.  He had twelve guys that He trained, challenged, corrected, and sent them out to do the work.  He talked to them about God in everyday life as they walked together, were going places together, and doing everyday life together.  
    And He begged the question of them: what needs to be done, and how can you be a part of doing it? 
    Discipleship - Ephesians 4:11-16

  • November 29 - Thankful

    Having leprosy meant never being able to touch another human being.  It meant moving away from your family and friends. Having leprosy meant life was irreparably different and hard and awful.  


    Ten men saw a Man pass by, and they'd probably heard the stories of His miracles.  So they cried out because He was their only hope.  But, only one of them wanted Jesus for Who he was not just what He could do for them.  


    If you take a look over a period of time in someone's life you can see if they want to be with Jesus or they don't.  Is it Jesus they want?  Or only what He can do for them?


    Thankful - Luke 17:11-19

  • November 18 - Yoked, part 6 - Abram, Sarai, and Hagar
    Being yoked is being in the same boat, doing the same thing, for the same purpose.  So, where does God fit in the picture of a relationship between two people?  Partly, in waiting on Him to fulfill His promises and His plan.  Abram and Sarai didn't wait on God.  And their sin had dire consequences for the entire world and to this very day. 
    Yoked, part 6 - Genesis 16

  • November 15 - One Year Anniversary
    Everything to the glory of God alone!  Simple Church celebrates one year together with stories from how Simple Church began to how the temple was rebuilt in Jerusalem in Ezra chapter three.  
    The first thing we are to do is worship.  Before the temple was even rebuilt in Jerusalem they worshiped the Lord in festivals and with sacrifices.  Worship is so much more than only good music.  Worship is everything you do that glorifies God. 
    Ezra 3:1-13

  • November 8 - Spiritual Warfare, Part 5 - Elijah's dispare

    The old opinion that is contrary to the Word of God needs to die.  There's a true spiritual battle that draws us to an opinion away from God doing a great work in our lives, and it has to die.  


    Sometimes, in that battle, we feel like the struggle is too much and we can't take it any more.  We want to pull the covers over our head and make the world disappear forever.   


    Elijah wanted that, too, and Jesus came to fix Elijah's meals and care for him body and soul.

  • November 4 - Yoked, part 4 - Singleness (Wednesday)
    A lot of times the Christian walk is lonely so you can answer the question, "Is Christ alone enough?"  To be single in today's society means there must be something wrong with you.  But that's a lie.  The idea that another human being can complete me is a lie.  
    Paul flies in the face of culture and explains that the most important things, whether married or single, is to glorify God.  Jesus is the most important thing. To be yoked with Christ is enough.
    Yoked - Singleness, 1 Corinthians 7:8-9; 25-40

  • November 1 - Spiritual Warfare, part 5 - Elijah

    "How long will you waiver between opinions?"  Elijah's life is on the line, and his desire for people to worship God and love God for who He truly is, is something Elijah's willing to die for. 


    There are churches that tell half truths to get people to go a certain way or make a certain commitment.  The truth is that following Jesus is a call to die.  And the beauty of it all is that when you see God for who He truly is, and you see yourself for who you truly are, it changes everything. 


    Spiritual Warfare - 1 Kings 18:20-40
