April 24, 2022 15:24 - 1 hour - 63 MB

Could it be that he places a higher priority in prayer than we do? The Disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray. For many, it’s hard to pray. It's not easy. Sometimes you may feel foolish — there you are hands folded, eyes closed, even on your knees, and who are you even talking to? We don't really know what we should ...

Making the Dust Fly - 10:15am

April 17, 2022 15:44 - 1 hour - 67.1 MB

As Christians, what do we honestly believe? What we believe in extremely important to everything we do. There’s a C.S. Lewis quote that says, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” In other words, what we believe in shapes everything else in our lives.

So often, do you ever feel like you need a fresh start. You realize what you have been doing, really isn’t working. Like always, you could continue to do what you’ve always done and choose what you want now over what you really desire. As Jesus followers, what you must come to realize is there is something better waiting for you than what you usually settle for in life. However, when you stay focused on who God says you are and what He wants for your life without being distracted by the ...

2021 is down; 2022 is getting started. Dare we begin to say, “Well, it’s gotta be better than next year.” New year after new year, so many of us try to we make resolutions, set milestones and goals. However, these are far too focused on ourselves, about losing weight, going back to school, getting a new job, saving money, and many more. As we look at this new year we rarely think of actions & practices that benefit others but exist in inherently self-centered practices. When we look at the...

I have heard it said that life is a series of choices. We tell our children to make “good choices” and avoid “bad choices” as they will stick with us a long time. Yet, sometimes when we make good decisions, live good lives, seek God, it feels like nothing is working. We can do all the right things, check all the boxes, but life seems to stay the same or even get worse. When what we do isn’t making a difference, how can we find the life we desire for?

When we feel it is to be human & it is one of the unique ways we are distinct from the rest of creation is that we have the ability to feel a variety of different ways: joy, sadness, anger, compassion, fear and the list keeps on going.

No matter what you may think, words are extremely powerful and influential. They can tear us down and build us up. They can cut and wound us; yet. they can also bring wholeness and healing. Sadly, words and attitudes like criticism, complaining, gossip, or lying aren’t just shrugged off, but are sometimes encouraged or even celebrated. They can destroy relationships and ultimately detached us from the life that God wants for us. However, the right words at the right time can be exactly wha...
