Jesus asked a man who had lived his whole life without being able to walk, Do you want to be well?  Why would He ask him that?  Was Jesus looking for information? Find out why Jesus asked him this question and why we are being asked this question today.

Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" This might be the most direct, pointed, most critical question of all the questions that He ever asked. So... how do you answer this critical question?

Faith is the foundation of our lives. How much do you trust him? Are you willing to step out and step up in moments that faith is required? Let’s learn from David, a man who had great faith when he stepped up to the giant, what bold faith really looks like.

God can do a lot with our surrender. We have a tendency to hold back, to want to be in control, and to save what’s best for ourselves. Living a life of following Jesus, though, means we surrender and trust him to give us what’s truly best.

Do you ever feel like you lack what you need? Do you feel like you don’t have the time, money, or resources to get where you need to go? We all feel like that at times. How do we see what we truly have? How do we get what we need? It’s all in where we place our trust.

I’m not who I was. For everyone of us, that's true. Whether your past is riddled with regret and mistakes or your past is one you’re proud of, we all have a past. How can God use that past? What could he be doing now that would make us thankful for whatever past we’ve had? The truth is, he can use it all for our good and his plan.

God’s love and grace isn't earned by our actions but given freely because we are His children. We don’t need to try harder to be good, but to live out of the overflow of His grace.

It’s easy to trust God when everything is going your way. Trust becomes more difficult when all you have is trust. What we have to remember is that our trust doesn’t grow in the good times. We learn to trust God in the trials.

A Savior as a baby. Born and placed in a feeding trough and wrapped in rags. God often works in ways that we would never anticipate. His ways are far better than ours and often catch us by surprise. How do we trust him even when what he's doing doesn't line up with what we think it should be?

The wise men made their way to Jesus to worship him. Will you take your cue from the wise men?  Will your story be a story of worship or will you spend your life trying to build your kingdom?  Will your story be about God’s way or your will?
