That's Enough
Relationships are messy. Others betray us and abandon us and we do the same to others. Relationships are important too, though. How do we react when others let us down? What do we have when it seems like other people take so much from us? Let's learn what we truly need and know that... that's enough.
Pick The Right Package
Whether you realize it or not, you are in a constant state of receiving messages & mental packages. The thoughts you have, the people you believe, and the words you read are sending you a message of peace and promise or of pain and lies. Which messages will you pay attention to?
Stronghold
Have you ever heard Christians talk about "strongholds"? This is a big one! so, let’s define strongholds. It literally means, “a fortified prison; a strong castle.” It’s not a physical prison but a mental prison. Where are you locked in? What lies are you believing?
Hedge of Protection
Have you ever noticed how some Christians seem to speak a whole different language? Have you ever heard someone talk about a hedge or wall of protection? Let's talk about that phrase and what it really means.
Drawing Blood
There's almost an entire set of vocabulary that church people use. We throw words around that we've always heard but rarely fully understand. What does it mean to “plead the blood" of Jesus over someone or something? We're looking at how this phrase plays a role in spiritual warfare.
Friend of Sinners
A lot of people know who Jesus is... Well, most people know the name, but do they really know about Him? Because of Jesus, qualities like humility and forgiveness, which were little regarded in most of the ancient world, became almost universally admired. He cared about people. He valued people. He did this without thinking about what they could do in return or how rich they were or how good they were. Jesus spent time with people because He’s gracious and He’s good. Jesus was and still is a friend of sinners…
The Paradox of Purpose | March 24, 2024
We all have a desire to be fulfilled, to be of value, and to live with a purpose. The problem is, we're often fed the lie that in order to be fulfilled, we have to be about ourselves. What would John the Baptist tell us about living a life of purpose? Let's take a look at his defining moment to see.
What's Your Story? | March 10, 2024
We all have a story. Our story is unique to us and is undeniable to the people who hear it. Paul's story has one of a tough past but a powerful future. Yours is unique, too. What's your story? Don't take it for granted, and don't keep it quiet.
Where Are You Sitting? | March 3, 2024
Where are you sitting? It's not about the chair you're in, but what your life is centered around. The truth is, where we find ourselves is often a product of what's around us and who's around us. It's time we wake up and take the right seat.
Abraham & Sarah | February 25, 2024
Is your marriage truly characterized by faith, or has life just kind of taken over? Our expectations of relationships don’t always line up with reality, and marriage is no different. If you look at your life and you think this is different than I had planned, then the story of Abraham and Sarah will speak to you.
Me Vs. Me | February 18, 2024
Who we believe we are determines what we think about and what we focus on. If we're going to walk in the freedom and peace Jesus has for us, we have to focus and think about what is true and right. We have to have our minds set in the right place. When it comes to our focus, it’s time for us to set it and forget it.
Ruth & Naomi | February 11, 2024
Is there an area of your life where you’re saying, “My God is King,” and yet you’re doing what’s right in your own eyes? Is there some area of your life where you’re claiming, yes, “I am a follower of Jesus,” and yet you’re following your own truth and not His truth? To get to where God wants you to be, you have to walk away from a place that is not His will.
Rescue Mission | February 4, 2024
Everyone wants to feel wanted and to feel like what they do matters. It can feel like an uphill battle looking for something or someone to make us feel significant. Fortunately, our significance doesn't depend on how we see ourselves but on Jesus' love for us, and His call to us gives us a chance to break free and find true significance and meaning in our lives.
Name The Snake | January 28, 2024
What lies might you be believing? The devil is the ultimate deceiver, and he can cause you to doubt the goodness of God through trials or disappointments. These lies can easily lead you to believe that you can't trust God or that he is not good or that he is not in control. These lies can rob you of the goodness God has for you.
A Problem & A Purpose | January 21, 2024
God made you for a purpose and often that purpose will be birthed through a problem. So, what problem are you having right now that could point you to your purpose? Maybe the purpose of your pain is so that you can bless, encourage, or offer hope to others experiencing that same problem and pain.
The God of New Beginnings | January 14, 2024
Have you started 2024 with something that you want to change in your life? There’s always something that we would like to change about ourselves. Where do you want a new beginning? Where do you need a do-over? With Jesus, there is always hope. God is The God of new beginnings. He can wipe your slate clean.
You Can Have The Rest | January 7, 2024
The treadmill of life. The keeping up. The meeting expectations. Even the people who are closest to us can wear us out. The demands placed on us today are greater than ever before. We need rest. How do we get it in a world where everything is about how we look and what we do? When we come to Jesus, we can have the rest.
Run, Forrest, Run! | December 31, 2023
You may have heard the saying “life is a race.” So, how do we run the race of life? As we enter 2024, let’s learn what it looks like to run with faith.
The Gift That Keeps Giving | December 24, 2023
What are you wanting this Christmas? Not just stuff to put under a tree, but what do you really want? What do you need? The truth is that everything we truly want is found in one gift.
The Wise Men | December 17, 2023
When you think about Priceless Gifts, especially at Christmas time you would naturally think about the Three Wise Men who came to Jesus bearing gifts. These gifts were not only valuable, but were also incredibly practical, and deeply spiritual.
Joseph | December 10, 2023
Life is not always measured by time. It’s measured in moments. Moments that can be priceless gifts. We don't know what God might do in us or through us in one moment of obedience. When it comes to the life of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, all we have are a few moments. But moments that measured his life well.
It's All I Can Do | December 3, 2023
What can you give to God that he doesn't already have? What do we have to offer a God who is the Master of the universe? We have this amazing gift of praise. When we see him for who he truly is, we have to praise Him; it's all we can do.
Positively Enthusiastic | November 26, 2023
Are you full of enthusiasm for the things of God or do you find yourself more spiritually comfortable? Are you charging into spiritual battle knowing that the Lord your God is with you, trusting that He’ll never leave you? Are you striving toward your call or drifting to your own comfort?
Positively Grateful | November 19, 2023
We’re all addicted to something and negativity is one addiction that tries to rule our lives. We need to be able to stay positive, so today, we’re going to talk about gratitude. So, if you find yourself in a bit of a pit, maybe living with anxiety, complaining, bitterness, or a little negativity then hang on, because today we’re going to see that gratitude is the gateway to peace.
A Blessing Or A Burden | November 5, 2023
With all the changes in this world, it can be really hard to know what your role is as a parent. How do you know if you are succeeding? How do you know if you hit the bullseye? We all need some clarification and the Bible is the perfect place to go to for direction.
Blended Families | October 29, 2023
Blended families make up almost half of the families in America today. As a blended family, what are some principles you can live by? Let's talk about those.
See You On The Other Side | October 23, 2023
They're just hypocrites. I bet you've thought or even said that about someone who claimed to be a Christian but didn't live it out. They show a side of themselves that just doesn't seem like it goes along with what a Christian should do. What does Jesus say about hypocrisy? He says, “I’ll see you on the other side.”
By A Thread | October 15, 2023
Fear. It's real and it's prevalent in our lives. It happens in a variety of ways and causes a variety of responses. What does Jesus say about our fears? What does he do to help us through them? We may be hanging by a thread, but that's plenty when Jesus steps in.
Check Your Balance | October 8, 2023
We owe a balance. It’s not something that can be paid from our bank account. We owe a debt of sin. What does Jesus say about sin? What does he do with this balance that we owe? We need to check our balance and see how Jesus has canceled our debt.
Basket Case | September 24, 2023
I've done all I can do. Ever made that statement? The truth is, sometimes things happen to us that aren't our fault and we do all we can to make it through. What do you do, though, when you've done all you can and you're out of resources and ideas... when you're a basket case and see no hope?
What's The Point? | September 17, 2023
We pray our hearts out. We ask God to change things. We beg him to move. After all of our begging, it seems like He does nothing to answer us. When we feel our prayers are going unanswered, it shakes our faith. We get to the place of asking, "What's the point in praying?” if it doesn't do anything. There's more to it than that, though.
Teach Us To Pray | September 10, 2023
There are so many misconceptions about prayer. Not only about what prayer is but how to pray. Every religion has some type of prayer ritual, but for Christians, it’s more than a ritual; it’s an intimate conversation. How do we pray? We pray as Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
Talkin' With Jesus | September 3, 2023
According to studies, most of us pray at least every now and then. While the content of our prayers varies, one thing is consistent: most of us struggle to pray consistently or with joy. Prayer is a powerful weapon for a believer in Jesus. Let's learn how to talk with Jesus.

Motion Sickness | August 13, 2023
When our lives are being tossed to and fro by all of life’s transitions, we may find ourselves motion sick and in need of something to anchor ourselves to. We have an anchor of stability in Christ Jesus. He is the most powerful anchor for our motion-sick souls.
Prepare Well | August 6, 2023

The Unwanted Blessing | July 23, 2023
The troubles of life. Some are our fault, some are not. We all go through them. However, we don't all go through them the same. Let's take a look at what troubles and trials look like in our lives and see how to see them all, not as a curse, but a blessing. They have a purpose.
Under Water But Still Afloat | July 16, 2023
God works in mysterious ways. It's a common phrase, but it's also true. He knows more, thinks higher, and loves more extravagantly than we can ever imagine. Sometimes, we go through circumstances and wonder what the purpose is. More often than we realize, God's protecting us from what he knows is around the corner. How does he do that? Let's look at his mysterious ways

Me & My Mirror | June 11, 2023
How we define and see ourselves determines so many things about how we feel and live our lives. The key for us is to be sure we are defining ourselves correctly, the way God defines us. How do we learn to define ourselves correctly? How can we start living in this true identity?
It's Really Both | June 4, 2023
Good times and bad. Joyous times and sad times. It's easy to look at what we're going through as a reflection of who God is. When is He working? When is He teaching us? When is He blessing us? It's really in all of it.
Fit For The Fight | May 28, 2023
The struggle is real, and we don’t feel like we have enough to overcome it. The truth is, in times of the greatest struggle, we always have enough. What we have to do is look for what God has given us in order to win the struggle. We’re fit for the fight if we’ll open our eyes to what we have and see God working through it.
How To Win Over Worry | May 14, 2023
Worry is poisoning our peace, killing our joy, and stunting our spiritual growth. We struggle with worry and stress on an almost daily basis. Why is that? What can we do about it?
Who I Am | May 7, 2023
What we do is not who we are. When our identity is found in our relationship with Jesus, it changes everything. The key is to realize this identity at our core and allow it to shape everything about us.
What to Remember When You Are Battling Depression | April 30, 2023

Certainty In The Midst of Uncertainty | April 9, 2023
As a nation and as families, we have been facing one of the greatest times of uncertainty that we have ever known. There is a question for you and for me as we continue to experience extraordinary uncertainty in all areas of our lives and in the world around us. Can you trust God? Can you hold on to the simple truth that even though life is uncertain, God is certain?
