Here is some practical encouragement if your last sermon wasn’t great.

For a while, I have been feeling a low-grade ache in my own soul that God was inviting me into deeper intimacy with Him, but that that intimacy would come with a cost.

Lent is the perfect time to pay the cost.

God’s good gifts are not meant to terminate upon themselves but help us see Him more gloriously.

We are often better at trusting God in our own lives than we are in the lives of others.

You can please God with your actions—not to earn His love, but as an expression of it.

Most of us would not be accused of taking the fight against our sins too seriously, but too lightly.

The act of remembering what God has done and thanking Him for it builds our faith.

How do we as Christians think about the 2024 eleciton?

The book of Job shows us a different explanation for personal suffering other than “God must be punishing me”.

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?

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

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