Navigating conflict in healthy, God-honoring ways is challenging and more complicated than we may initially think. Both Jesus and James tell us that spiritually mature and growing people are peacemakers.

We can pretend, fake it, conceal for a while what's really inside us, but under enough pressure, in a crisis, what comes out of my mouth displays my true character. So how you doing in this area?

It doesn't matter how much of the Bible we know, how freely we worship Him at service if we don't love people as God wants us to. God's love is the ultimate measurement for evaluating our actual spiritual maturity.

The biggest question about Jesus is 2023 is not if He was a real person, but the same question people had 2,000 years ago had about Him: Just who is Jesus? The evidence is clearly in favor that Jesus is Lord, and He invites you to follow Him.

How did Jesus navigate this incredibly, humanly unfathomable amount of stress during Easter week? What kept Him going when nothing was seemingly going His way on any level?

The concept of a day of rest has often been misunderstood and twisted by people. Even Jesus realized that no one can sustain a 24/7 work and activity lifestyle. What can we learn from Jesus to move from stress to rest?

Jesus knew what His life was for and what He was to accomplish. As a result, He wasn't paralyzed by stress. How can we put this practice into place?

The problem of stress isn't some recent phenomenon. What is stress, what is beneath our stress, and how did Jesus model dealing with stress in a healthy way?

Isn't it interesting that the darkest time of year has the brightest lights? When we try to live our life without Jesus at the center, we live in dark. Are you ready to exchange darkness/dark days for God's light?

No room is a big part of the Christmas story. Before we point fingers at the innkeeper, we need to recognize that we also do this both individually and as a society.  How do we open every room to Jesus this Christmas season?

"We must be careful not to assume that simply because a person is a female that she automatically and instinctively knows how to love her husband as God intends." What does it mean to love, honor and cherish your husband?
