More than 2,000 years after the angels raised this chorus of peace, our world remains as it always has been, a planet in turmoil where violence is commonplace and death and destruction dominate the landscape. Is the message of peace the angels sang...

Isn't it amazing that an event that happened on the other side of the world 2,000 years ago still has a profound impact on us today? When the world around us seems to be falling to pieces (and perhaps also our personal lives), we can discover how...

Can you treat people like Jesus did without gratitude? It's impossible to put into practice the "one another's" without gratitude...making all our relationships healthier.

Gratitude is so important to God because He tells us that it is to be the primary motivation behind everything in our lives. Research shows that practicing gratitude can reduce stress, depression and anxiety, improve sleep quality, self-esteem and...

Jesus created the Church to be a place where you can experience relationships the way they were meant to be and a place where you can become everything He died on the cross for you to be. So why do some people profess to love Jesus, but want nothing...

"Do you want to get well?" It's a question Jesus asked a lame man. What is your response? Do you believe God can change you?

Forgiving others is clearly something God tells us Jesus followers to do.  Unforgiveness can impede and weaken our lives and relationship with Jesus. Making every effort to forgive people is God's remedy for the cancer of bitterness...

Reality is we're surrounded daily by people who are control freaks, and the reality also is, everyone is a control freak in some way. This attitude...tends to bleed into our spiritual lives.  There are some things that seem easier for us to...

One of the worst things about lukewarmness is that those afflicted by it are often blind to that reality. How do I believe in God without turning hot or cold...or worse yet, lukewarm?

How can we navigate the parallel realities that God's justice is true, but it's also incomplete, and that God's grace is true, but it's also incomplete? Don't run from the fear of God because of misunderstanding what it is and...

A 2022 Gallup poll shows 81% of Americans expressed some level of belief in God. There are huge numbers of religious people...who on the one hand say they believe in God, yet they live as if God doesn't exist. Can I believe in God, but not know Him?

Jesus' entire life and mission is all about going. So where does Jesus want us to go?

A huge part of multiplying Jesus' mission in our personal lives and as a church family is that every professing follower of Jesus follow Jesus' clear command to take the plunge of water baptism.

There will always be people with needs - sometimes huge needs. Will you be preoccupied, critical or caring when it comes to the needs of others around you?

It is simply impossible to read, study or understand the early decades of the Christian Church without encountering Paul. No one was less likely to be such an important figure in the multiplication of the Early Church than him until God's grace...

Every one of us play an important part personally in helping fulfill Jesus' mission to reach people, helping lost people become found people. We're not called to be soil inspectors, but seed scatterers.

If your life story was told through your checking/debit account, what would people find? God wants generosity to be the norm for all His children. How does God want to multiply generosity in us?

Why does multiplying by multisite matter so much? If we are at all serious about Jesus' last command and first concern and believe this is our mission to complete both as a church and as individuals, then reaching as many people as possible has...

What is a multisite church and why does it make sense to grow a church community in this way. And is this a new way to "do church?"

One of the most common themes in the entire Bible is that God uses waiting as one of His primary tools to grow our faith and character. If you can't wait, patience will be elusive, and our prayers may be ineffective or non-existent. What part are...
