Cultivate Affection- Healthy In- 9/6/2020

All too often, the majority of our affections we feel are negative. Bad experiences. Painful moments in life. Times when we failed. The time we went left and should have gone right. Today is the day to let your affections be fueled by God’s love, not by this world. Set your affections on things above.

Making Your Life Stable- God's Way- 8/30/2020

Here’s the challenge today: Invest you—into STABILITY.
Think about that family member who is always struggling through life. Why are they struggling? Because they have always invested wrong. You say, well, they didn’t have much to begin with. The beauty of investing is, it doesn’t matter how much you start with. When you invest right, whatever you have, grows.

When Good People do Something- God's Way- 8/23/2020

The only thing necessary for the triumph of good, is for good men to do something.
When God’s people stand up against evil, even if it is just a couple of people standing against the world, great things happen.
When good people do something, God does something.

Going Through Pain- God's Way- 8/16/2020

God says our pain put in His hands heals.
When you put your pain in His hands, you find healing. 
But as long as you hold onto it, you’ll never find freedom. 
You’ll never have healing. You’ll never get on to your purpose. 
And you’ll never find God’s purpose for allowing that pain.

Who You Worship, You Become- God's Way- 8/2/2020

Just coming to church and singing a few songs and half-heartedly listening to a sermon isn’t worship. That’s no different than singing along to a catchy song driving down the road. Worship is more than that. It’s observation and emulation. Worship is when others look at you and see who you follow.

You Are Important- God's Way- 8/9/2020

One of the key components to overcoming temptation and yourself is believing you have more important things to do in life. 
God created you to operate at a very important level. 
Don’t wait for someone to come along and tell you that you are important, BE important.

Worship Only God- God's Way- 7/26/2020

When you worship God, you serve in love. When you worship an idol, you serve in lust.
Worshiping God, the living God – making yourself a living sacrifice is the most fulfilling act you can do on earth!
We have to remember, when we do for others as unto the Lord, we aren’t worshiping them, we are worshiping Him.

To be Peacemakers- God's Way- 7/19/2020

A key to being a peacemaker: Believe your afterlife is your real-life.
As long as you are holding on to this life so tight, you’ll never be willing to give it up for something bigger than you.
Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul” (Matt. 16:25-26 NIV).

Individuals, but One- God's Way- 7/5/2020

God is calling us to relationship—with Him, and we live it out with each other.
God’s way is relationship.
There are things that because of what God did for us, He demands we change or do for Him, and because of our gratitude and love for Him, we will do it.

Remember What He Did For You- God's Way- 6/28/2020

God’s way of life, and God’s way of living together is far different than anything man comes up with.
The starting point for doing life God’s Way: Remember what He did for you. Because living God’s way is a response to God’s Grace, not a way to achieve God’s Grace.
