To welcome people, as Jesus does, is to reach out to the people we would rather not associate with – the people who don’t belong to our friend group or our inner circle. Do you find this easy or hard to do?

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12

Let’s commit this year to praying about ways our families and others can draw closer. Let’s read Jesus’ words and let them settle deep in our hearts. Do you have a family member right now who may be looking at family photos and longing to draw...

Today and every day, we enjoy great freedom because of the service and sacrifices made by men and women on our behalf.

There is no greater gift you can give someone this season than your spirit-filled, joy-filled, Jesus-filled presence.

When we look at all that God has given us despite what we have done to him, it humbles us. It makes us want to give generously because he gave everything for us.

If you are hurting today, if you are grieving, sit with Jesus. Remember the sacrifice He made for you. Read Psalm 23 and allow the truth of who God is to penetrate your weary soul.

Dear Father, Lead me this national Election Day to vote for the people who seek to follow Your ways, those who honor You by the choices they make as leaders in our nation.

The holidays can remind us not only of who or what we've lost but of moments that still sting with disappointment, regret, or sadness.

Jesus didn't promise us a life without conflict, but He did promise us peace in the middle of it.

Being created in God’s image, we have a plan and purpose for our lives (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 57:2, Jeremiah 29:11). That promise should give us hope and the confidence to step into the future, so why do we remain stuck? The answer is clear. We are...

The truth is many who enter church are Christians simply moving from one flock to another trying to find the church that feels like a better fit for them. Although we welcome everyone, I always wonder when the day will come that church members...

How we begin our days is so important. I find for myself that if I begin my day scrolling needlessly on my phone before even getting out of bed, I start my day feeling guilty and unproductive. Our phones, although can be used for God’s purposes,...

Circumstances may continue to overwhelm us, but it’s then that we need to resist the wild, noisy patterns of the world and instead embrace and listen for the internal, always present, sound, steady, still voice of God.

"The Sovereign LORD is my strength." - Habakkuk 3:19

“And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, ‘It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of...

Music is amazing. It is a way of expressing our emotions artistically. It joins us with others. It is unique, reveals a person’s style, and plays a huge role in culture as a whole. Can you think back to two or three specific moments when God used...
