You Need a Good Leader- 11/29/2020

When you say no to what God says no to, and yes to what God says yes to, your life comes together.
If you want your life to be together, stay together, and your people to live together, you need a good leader--Jesus.

God’s Action Follows Our Gratitude- Thankfulness - 11/22/2020

It’s one thing to get healed. It’s a completely different thing to be saved.

Thankfulness is the pathway to salvation. 
Jesus healing this body is nothing compared to the surpassing greatness of KNOWING HIM.

The Key to Happy- Thankfulness - 11/15/2020

Have you noticed that in our pursuit of happiness, very few actually find it? We try everything from buying stuff, eating food, to drinking and smoking things. And although these things bring a their moments of pleasure, nothing seems to stick. Happiness is still unreachable.
Here’s the good news.
The key to happiness is not found in what others can do for you, waiting for someone to give you what you want.
You enter into happiness with the key words, “Thank you."
Gratitude brings immediate satisfaction, good feelings, and peace of mind.

What do You Want?- Reach and Raise - 11/8/2020

Have you noticed that some attend church just to get to heaven, but have no desire to ever do the will of God. 
If your WANT is only to get to heaven, you are going to get really frustrated along the way. 
When you want to make a shift in your life, you have to change your WANTER. Instead of what you want, you have to embrace wanting what God wants.

My Thanks for Grace- Reach and Raise - 11/1/2020

When you personally stand before God, and His fiery eyes burn away your life, what will be left? Do you want to present Him with a thanks for His Grace?
The Scripture indicates that we cannot take anything with us, but we can send stuff ahead. God says, whatever you do in love, true love is going to last.
Do you know if you are ready for that moment of judgment? 

Raised for Raising- Reach and Raise - 10/25/2020

At Relate Church, we expect you to grow Spiritually, and we have people dedicating their lives to that growth. 
Some Christians never change their lives to accommodate for God living in them. God is building a home. A family. A place where it’s normal for spiritual babies to grow up and be mature.
Here’s the call to you: Be raised. Allow yourself to be raised up in your faith. Don’t fight progress in your spiritual life. 
God needs people to become spiritually mature so they can raise more.

Reaching Your Reachables- Reach and Raise - 10/18/2020

Sharing any part of the Gospel is a seed sown, or a seed watered.  Sometimes you are the one planting a seed in someone. And sometimes you are the one watering a seed already planted.
Here’s what God is interested in: God wants us to unite about reaching the lost so much, that our differences don’t even matter.

Your Call to Ministry- Reach and Raise - 10/11/2020

Often people stop at serving the Lord in prayer, fasting, and just coming to church. We consider ourselves disqualified from doing more. Or we think that it is the responsibility of the pastor to do ministry, and we just barely survive spiritually enough to eventually make it to heaven.
God wants you to flourish in your relationship with Him so much that your life becomes a life of love to Him and to others. He wants your life to be full of purpose with Him.

Being Rich Toward God- Reach and Raise - 10/4/2020

Many people INTEND on telling people about Jesus. But never do.
Many people INTEND on learning how to teach about Jesus. But never do.
Intending to be good to God isn’t being rich toward God.
We are so focused on our needs and desires that even when we do get involved in God’s Kingdom it is still about us and not Him.

Cultivate Agape Love- Healthy In- 9/27/2020

People have a tendency to come to church just because it’s the right thing to do. 
People serve in positions at a church because it’s the right thing to do.
People even pay tithe to a church because God said to.
God doesn’t just want you to do the right thing. God wants you to love Him.
