Healthy In, Healthy Out- 12/29/2019

“Garbage in, garbage out.” The opposite is obviously true too. Intentionally decide every day to allow “healthy in” to your senses.
When you wake up, let it become a habit, “God, good morning. I decide today to only let “healthy in” to my life today.

Jesus Came for Everyone-12/22/2019

When God came as a baby, He laid in the manger, completely vulnerable to all of humanity.
He was making a statement… "I’ve come for everyone. I came into this world just like all of you. I’m not a threat to you..."
Jesus Came for Everyone.

Joy to the World: In Spite of Hard Hearts- The God of the Old Testament- 12/15/2019

We all are capable of having a hard heart—and reality is, at some level, all of us have a hard area of our hearts. All of us have a hint of Ebanezer Scrooge in us.
But don’t give up! Have faith in God. In almost every story in Scripture where we see God doing something in someone’s life, we see where they had to wait for Him all the way up to the last second.

God, Who Gives Signs- The God of the Old Testament- 12/8/2019

One of the things I hear from people as I talk with them all over, is that they may be given signs from God for their life.
God did give us clear and glaring signs that we can look at to know who Jesus is.

God Wants to Restore You- The God of the Old Testament- 12/1/2019

God did not buy you with the Blood of Jesus to throw you in a junk yard or to part you out. God bought you to restore you.
“You are not your own; you were bought at a price.”
(1 Cor. 6:19-20)

Thanksgiving—The Influence of Women- The God of the Old Testament- 11/24/2019

Women have played a huge role in the history of our faith. God has used them in amazing ways. And when they allow God to use them, He always blesses them.
When women pray, when women give, when women stand in the gap for the helpless, when women stand for morality, God blesses them greatly.

He is God, our Deliverer- The God of the Old Testament- 11/17/2019

We all need deliverance from something. Whether it is a financial situation, an addiction, a job, a health problem, a relationship gone bad, chocolate, sinful desires, we all need deliverance. GOD IS OUR DELIVERER!
And one day He is coming back for all of us—to deliver us!

Lean on Your Staff- The God of the Old Testament- 11/10/2019

God’s Will + Your Will = Your Struggle
Some of you have been fighting with God all your life, wrestling with Him. God doesn’t have to fight with you. He isn’t here to win. His only reason for the fight is you. God is fighting FOR YOU.

Are You Fostered, or Adopted?- The God of the Old Testament- 11/3/2019

Too many people see church as a Group Home. God doesn’t run foster-group-homes. He gave us the church to be a family where He adopts people to belong to Him.
YOU ARE ADOPTED.
That means you belong.

Out of Survival Mode- The God of the Old Testament- 10/20/2019

Sometimes we get stuck in survival mode. One survival action causes a reaction. Then we act on that reaction and another reaction happens. Before we know it, we are in full blown survival—and sometimes we never get out.
You have to switch yourself out of survival mode. You have to decide to believe that God sees you. You have to believe that God will provide for you. You have to believe God has your future secure—even if you can’t see it.
