Revival comes at the cost of our willingness to humbly surrender to God and to completely depend on God

The answer to our doubt is Jesus! The reason we believe is Jesus. It’s all about Jesus. 

Throughout our lives, it’s important for us to determine whether or not we truly believe that God can do impossible things. Do we really believe in His supernatural power? One thing we must all come to grips with is that God does not work at our pace or according to our timing. God does not run on our schedule.

Jesus came to make things right now and forever. From infinity to beyond.

God didn’t just fight to get us. He now fights for us.

While they might seem similar, karma is focused on the downfall of others and the exaltation of ourselves. The principle of sowing and reaping is focused on trusting God in the process, no matter what it looks like.

It’s important that we understand that God is creator, and everything else is creation, and the truth of God’s word is that we are called to steward the created and worship the creator. 

We believe that just as there is a physical realm, there is a spiritual realm, and it’s important we understand that our adversary, the devil, wants to lie and confuse us when it comes to spiritual things. 

It matters that we have the real thing. As followers of Jesus we don’t need the “stars to align” we can place our hope in something (someone) secure and strong.

Here’s the truth: Jesus offers something so much better than a momentary dopamine hit or a quick escape from reality. He offers rest.

The man in Luke 5 (and Mark 2 / Matthew 9) found the answer to these questions we all ask. When he found himself helpless at the feet of Jesus, he discovered the self-worth he’d been seeking all along.

How can this be true when we are living in a more connected world than ever? A world where, in 2023, one survey found that these same teens average 4.8 hours of social media per day. How are we so hyper-connected yet we feel so far apart

So what does it even mean to have our identity in Christ? How do we know where our identity rests? When your identity is in Christ, you start chasing what God values and walking the road He leads

When Christians break up, we should be clear about our differences and we should continue in Christian Love. 

What do God-honoring Christian relationships look like and How should Christians date? 

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul gets specific about the way in which we honor God in a world full of sexual temptation. Paul reminded the church that, to win the fight against lust, we have to train our hearts with truth and know when to run from temptation.

As the creator of our bodies and the creator of sex, God gets the last word on the way in which we use them.

This invitation by Jesus leads to a transformation in Zacchaeus, and the same is true for us! Jesus invites us into a relationship with him, no matter our past, our struggles, or anything else. 

This prayer in the face of injustice should challenge us. When we face the broken, ugly, disjointed, and messed-up stuff in our world, we can have faith. We can engage those areas in our petition to God and be inspired to take them on headfirst, filed with the Holy Spirit.

When we find ourselves in ugly cry moments, we can cry out to God. God loves us, hears us, and is with us in the midst of our hurting.
