With belief comes challenges and seasons of attacks. These trials can come in many forms but when experienced through the lens of faith, they produce more than we can possibly imagine.

Belief is not meant to be lived out in secrecy or in silence. It is meant to be a light that points to somewhere and to someone.

There is no one like you. You are unique and one of a kind. Belief ignites a recognition of how you have been shaped for this life.

Belief gives us a new standing and status, and with it a whole new understanding of the priorities and purposes for our life.

When we believe, we become a part of something that is much larger than ourselves, and much greater than we imagine.

What is the heart of the message we call the Gospel?

Is there a grand scheme or plan that serves as a template for dealing with our great problem, or are we just passengers on a cosmic accident?

We see it everywhere but struggle to acknowledge it. It's been said that the first step to solving a problem is to first admit that you have one.

It's been a constant barrage of media reports, conflicting opinions and warring factions. Like a migraine that never goes away, we are sapped to the core.

It's been a season where many have experienced loss in one form or another.
