The most crucial question in the Bible, and our very lives, is the same question that Jesus asked his followers in Mark 8:29, "Who do you say I am?"

Peter answered that question, but have you? Do you believe in Jesus? Do you trust him?

As we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus, we come to discover that he is far more concerned with the condition of our heart than anything else.

What is the condition of your heart? Everything we do flows from it!

In Mark 6:46 we read, "...he went up on a mountainside to pray." Jesus sent his followers ahead of him so he could have some alone time to pray.

How often do you get alone time with God to pray? Your effectiveness as a Christian is directly related to your reflectiveness, and the more time we spend reflecting on God, the less time we think about ourselves (and our temptations). 

The way of Jesus is not self-promoting, it's Christ-promoting.

Reaching our One is a commitment to one another.

Reaching our One is a continuation of Jesus' ministry.

Reaching our One is a confidence in God's provision.

Reaching our One is a calling of every believer.

At the feet of Jesus is a place for hopeless causes because at the feet of Jesus is a cause for hope.

Often our deepest pain becomes our highest platform.

Can Jesus turn my storm into a story?

If Jesus served people in humility, how much more should we? If the Creator of the Universe came down here and washed feet, isn’t that how we should also act?

Some people have servant's hearts. Some, not so much. If you want to take a step toward being a humble Christ-like servant, it begins with a change of heart.

At the heart of every problem is the problem of the heart.

All of us feel pressure (parents especially), but Jesus knows our struggles. Often it is during the times that we struggle that we will humble ourselves and ask for help.

Jesus did not play by the safe, man-made rules of his time. From the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus was a rebel. Jesus didn't play by the safe, man-made rules of his time, and he calls us to do the same when he asks us to follow him.
