How do we as Christians think about the 2024 eleciton?

Do not be surprised when in your journey with God through this life you encounter seasons that are hard. Difficult. Long. You will face times that wear you down to the bone.

Is your whole life oriented around following your rabbi and savior? To be with Him. To become like Him. To do as He did?

When theological truths for the mind seem insufficient, the simultaneous question and request stands: “God, do you see me and can you show me that you do?”

How do I stop sinning a sin I want to do? You find a better pleasure in the grace of God.

We know we should grow in self-control and kindness and patience. But the real question is, how? Listen to this sermon on Galatians 5:22-23 from Josh Powell.

You do not find the Gospel, the Gospel finds you.

Helplessness is a bit like quick sand. The more you try, the deeper you sink. Helplessness is also like baptism. You’ve got to surrender to it to come out the other side.

Church feels like a chore. My heart feels apathetic to worship and the sermon and I'm a pastor! I desperately want my heart to be alive again to the Sunday worship service. While I do not know why God might bring us to seasons like this, I do believe that He uses all things for our good.

Do you give God the first of your time and energy? Or only the remainder?

Contentment is thanking God for what you have and trusting His sovereign hand for what you do not.

Jesus will teach you how to sacrifice.

Vulnerability is the only avenue to feel deeply loved.

Being “in love” and choosing to love are not the same thing.

How we respond to our sin is vastly important.

Is there any encouragement for us when the Christian journey feels long and difficult?

What can we hope in when holidays are hard? That Jesus has faced darkness too.

What does Jesus mean in John 14:15 when He says: “If you love me, keep my commandments.”

When relationships are hard, how do we heal the fractured connection?
