Living in Love, Waiting in Hope

Because of Jesus—His life, His death, and His resurrection—the same power of God that raised Jesus from the dead is also at work in you right now. It’s active in your life, strengthening your faith, growing your love, and fortifying your hope.

The Father’s Heart

And it doesn’t matter where you are—regardless of the loneliness, pain, sorrow, suffering, or grief that you are right in the middle of right now—

your Heavenly Father is with you, and He loves you, and He will carry you through that time.

And He’s inviting you to come home so that He can embrace you and restore you as a beloved, forgiven child in His family.

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

For when we look at what Jesus taught his disciples about prayer in Luke 11, we see that prayer is all about relationship, the relationship between us and God. That relationship is a gift given to us by Jesus.

Justified by Grace through Faith

Jesus more than paid for all the sins of all the people in the whole world. By doing so, He opened the gates of heaven for God’s righteousness to come pouring down upon you and upon me. We are now flooded… with the purity, holiness, and uprightness of God.

The Treasure of Jesus

Because of the rich, overflowing fullness of Jesus, He is the answer to the great questions our cosmos longs to have answered.

Starting Strong 4: Perseverance

Jesus will help you to live a life that inspires and encourages others. He will help you to persevere through all the dangers and trials you will face. And Jesus will be with you to give you the power, love and self-discipline you need to think clearly, love dearly, and endure hardship.

Servant Leadership

Dear friends, the way that we use our power to lead and influence is very important, but please remember that the Way of Love is not about perfection. It’s about grace. There was room in the Way of Love for Peter, who also had pride in his heart, but he gave it to Jesus and Jesus replaced it with a greater love. So there is room in the Way of Love for you too.

Faithful Living in God’s Kingdom

…your fear of standing before God is likely holding you back from stepping into the opportunities that he is setting before you. And that is a tragedy because God wants to give you a rich, full, abundant life that is greater and grander than anything you could ask or imagine.

Walking with the Shepherd

We human beings are far more like sheep than we want to admit. And, like sheep, we need a shepherd.

Living in God’s Abundant Love

Only God’s love can change us into being people who love him in return, and gladly accept and live by the structure he gives us because we know that it is good for us and others.
