We all wonder, question, and doubt and do so through a specific frame of reference. When our reasoning doesn’t provide all answers, we wonder about deep stuff through a specific frame of reference. When it comes to Christ-followers, their frame of reference is not theology, philosophy, or a belief system. It's a person. Navigating through doubt begins and ends with fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Sometimes it's the Christians you know that are the biggest contributors to your doubt. You think “If they believe all this stuff to be true and still act the way they do then I don’t know if I can believe it.” If your faith is determined by the actions of others than your faith is in people and not God. We navigate through this doubt by focusing on Jesus alone.

What happens when you are in the middle of a situation where you want God to act, you need God to move, and He hasn’t fixed it yet?

Entering a relationship with Jesus is not a guarantee that you will never have any doubts. In fact, even those who saw Jesus in the flesh still struggled with doubt. Learning how to navigate our doubts in a way that strengthens our faith is a key factor in our ability to walk in relationship with Jesus.

When we parent with the end in mind two of the most important areas, we need to focus on are sex and technology as they are vital areas because sex impacts the heart, and technology impacts the mind…maybe more than any two other things. How you parent your children in these areas will directly affect who your child will become.

When we parent with the end in mind one area, we must focus on is Money & Finances. Money, what we do with money, our pursuit of money impacts our lives and faith more than anything else. The main thing preventing people from moving to a place of having complete trust in God is money. How you train your child in the area money will directly affect how they will handle money as an adult.

No one has the potential to influence your child more than you, but you are not the only influence in your child’s life. Your children’s friends are impacting the quality, direction, and destinations of their life. The older your child gets, the more impact their friends have in their lives, and the more impact they have in their friends.

It is the parents’ primary responsibility to lead their kids toward a relationship with Jesus. When you raise children, you should parent them with the end in mind. You are not raising children, you are raising future adults. The most important thing to God for your children is for them to have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ, so he can transform them and so they can experience the life only he can give.

We all want to make a difference in the world, but where do we start? It’s a big world with a lot of needs, and there’s no shortage of opportunities. How do we know if we’re making an impact? As a church, we’re working together to transform a specific part of the world and you’re invited to be a part of it.

Baptism is something that has caused enormous amounts of confusion, division, fear, uncertainty, family pressure, emotion, and tension. But why? The Catholic Church teaches that baptism is necessary for salvation while the Protestant Church teaches that baptism is simply an outward proclamation of one’s profession of faith in Jesus. So, who’s right?
