Music has the power to change us. We see this with advertisements where companies spend a lot of money to create jingles in hopes to get us to buy something. We look at how David’s music was used to change Saul, and how worship music can change us.   “Let our lord now command your […]

Looking at how our culture elects presidents, it’s evident that we care more about external appearance than internal character. That’s just human nature. We see that even Samuel, a person who listened to God, focused on external appearance when seeking the new king. God sees things differently. He looked for a good character, despite what […]

Religion is not the same as Christianity. Religion is about people earning God’s favor. But we all fail; we can’t keep all the rules. Christianity is about reconnecting with God and building a relationship. We see how Saul was not seeking a relationship with God, but was just trying to do what he had to […]

Faith is easy when we can see God and His work; it’s when we can see Him, and we are waiting that it is difficult to see God’s promises as more real than our current conflicts. In the second week of our study, Fight For Faith, we see Saul lose patience for God to show […]

Big beach houses are beautiful and coveted, but when storms come they can fall over because their foundation is in sand which isn’t solid. Jesus uses this example to describe our lives if not founded in a relationship with Him. When a storm or crisis come into your life, will your house fall or will […]

Not everyone will enter Heaven, not even everyone who does good things or who says Jesus is God. We will not be welcomed into the Kingdom of God through our own merit, but with a relationship with Jesus.   “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers […]

Does wearing a dog costume make you a dog? Of course not. Similarly, being a disciple of Jesus is not about doing or not doing certain actions, but about who you are and your character. Are you letting God change who you are?   “You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from […]
