On the night before He went to the cross, Jesus gathered the disciples to share that He was going to prepare a place for them. In their worry and sadness as they realized Jesus was going to die, He assured them that His leaving would be better for them. If Jesus didn’t leave, the friend, our helper, wouldn’t be able to come. That night, He promised that the Holy Spirit was on His way. So, who is the Holy Spirit? We’re so glad you asked. Join us for part one of our series!

As followers of Jesus, every single one of us is called to ministry. God’s mission for our lives is that we would be disciples who make disciples. When we live with this purpose in mind, using all we have for God’s glory, we come fully alive! All that Jesus asks of us is to walk with Him—that wherever we are on our journey, we focus on taking one step forward. He promises to stay by our side along the way!

God loves us so much that He sent His son to restore our relationship with Him. We are all lost children who needed our older brother to reconcile us back to our Father. Jesus paid the debt that we all owed! He is the only way to draw near to God and the full representation of His love for us. We are never too late or too far to come back home to our Good Father through the Good Son.

Did you know God created you just so He could love you? You are fully accepted as you are! He is for you and is faithful to welcome you into His arms no matter what. The Father doesn’t need or require anything from you… Rather than striving and trying to be lovable, He invites you to live from the place of already BEING loved!

In His love, God calls us His children! We don’t have to try to earn His acceptance. The truth is, we never could even if we tried. You are a child of God, created to experience the Father’s love in a personal, intimate way. You are chosen and accepted just as you are… And nothing will ever change that! All you have to do is believe and freely receive. Will you?

One of the many beautiful attributes of God is His ability to love unconditionally. There is no guilt-trip, no condemnation, no prerequisite to be accepted. And if you’re feeling lost or like you’ve disappointed Him, know that His arms are always open to welcome you home. Nothing compares to your heavenly Father’s love for you, and all He desires is that you rest in His warm embrace.

Jesus came not only to set us free but to help us actually walk in freedom! But stepping into the next level of life with God requires loosening your grip on old ways of thinking and habits that are keeping you stuck. For every one of the enemy’s lies you’ve believed, God has an incredible truth to replace it. And He never calls us to give up something unless He has something better. What do you need to let go of so that you can embrace the new He has for you?

The enemy’s oldest trick is to get us to believe lies about who God is, who we are, and more. But God has given us spiritual weapons to tear down the lies, those strongholds that keep us stuck in old mindsets and from fully embracing what He has for us. He is calling us to a place of friendship, freedom, and peace. It’s available to all of us, but our minds have to be renewed. No matter where you are, you have a good Father in heaven who is ready to give you His truth. Will you receive it?
