Every generation since the time of Jesus has been certain that they were in the last days.  This conclusion came with good evidence.  Signs seemed to point toward an imminent return of Jesus.  Are we truly living in those last days now?  Undoubtedly there appears to be a ramping up of natural occurrences.  Wars and rumors of wars are an everyday piece of news.  Turmoil, disease, offenses.  The world does seem to be living in a very dark time.  We may not know the exact time of Christ's return, but we can look for the signs promised in the Bible.  This cataclysmic event will happen one day, it's our responsibility to be ready!

All of life's problems can be brought down to two things.  Get these two things right and the vast majority of the issues will be gone.  Sounds simple right?  Well, it's not quite that simple, but the Bible does offer quite a bit of guidance on both of these major things.  Actually the majority of the Bible is centered on these two topics.  Are you ready for a change?  The first step is a click away!

A catchy tune.  We are all familiar with them.  Some songs have been sung for years, and have become staples in society.  But, do we take time to listen to the lyrics we are actually singing?  In this week's message we focus on "the stupidest song on the planet".  You'll have to take a listen to see which song earns that label!

Burn your plow?  What kind of title is that.  When Elijah passed the leadership  mantle to Elisha, there was a command to "slaughter your oxen and burn your plow".  At this point there was no turning back.  It was a moment in time with a line in the sand.

Life is all about finding answers.  But, how can you find answers if you don't ask questions?  Questions set direction.  Questions provoke solutions.  As Christians, we should ask questions.  We should guide others to ask questions.  The answers is the goal, but the question is the path.

It starts as a spark.  That initial encounter with Jesus is just the beginning.  It is the beginning of a life-long pursuit.  What starts small can and should grow over the years.  There is always more.  God has more for us.  An ever-increasing passion is the fuel to the fire.

God has a plan.  We have a plan.  It works perfectly when those two match up.  But, often we don't see God's plan.  We can't wait for God's plan.  So, we push forward and make our own.  The good news:  God still has a plan!

He is worthy!  He alone is worthy!  Jesus Christ holds all things together.  Everything in heaven and everything on earth is under His authority.  From beginning to end, all things point towards Him.  He is worthy!

Christians are supposed to be known for their love.  Throughout the Bible we see love.  God is love, and we are to love.  Jesus said love envelopes the top two commandments:  To love God and to love others.  But what is love?  Has the modern understanding of love miscommunicated God's original meaning to us?  Undoubtedly we are to love, but how?  And what does that look like?

Different is good.  As a Christ follower we should be different.  The way we act, the way we talk, and yes, the way we love, should be different.  If we are going to make a difference, we have to be different!
