David part 2: David & Goliath

We learn how to live a victorious life when we come up against the enemy and hard circumstances through this next part of the story of David.

David part 1: Anointed

Today we’re starting our 4 week look at the life of David. The event of David being anointed King as a young boy is the first mention of his life. We’re going to look at three lessons that we see in this encounter with the prophet Samuel and his father Jesse.

Go For The Gold part 4: Hurdles

In the life of a followers of Jesus, there are hurdles that can cause us to stumble if we're not careful. That's bad enough, but we also need to be careful that we aren't the ones placing those hurdles in the path of other Christians. So, what could these two types of hurdles look like? We're glad you asked...

Go For The Gold part 3: Aim

The target of the archer is the gold center bullseye of the target. But, there is an affliction that plagues some archers called "Gold Fever", where they let the air loose as soon as they see the gold bullseye in their sights before they get their true aim. 

Sometimes as followers of Jesus, we can suffer from the same affliction. We act before we have our true aim on the target that Jesus would have us go after.

Go For The Gold part 2: Balance

We try to balance our Christian lives by doing the good stuff and not doing the bad stuff through sheer will power. Then, WHEN we fall, we feel like junk and throw in the towel.

Instead, what if we realized that it's more about having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and letting him guide you and help you stayed balance?

Go For The Gold part 1: Commitment Level

With the Olympics happening over the next few weeks, we have found some inspiration as to what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus. In First Corinthians chapter 9, the apostle Paul talks about how athletes discipline themselves in an extreme way to win a prize that is temporary. The question becomes: "How much more should we be COMMITTED, as Christians, when our reward is eternal. 

Encounters part 13: The Restoration of Peter

Peter was one of the most faithful disciples Jesus...most of the time. There was an important moment where he failed to be faithful and it almost caused him to miss out on what Jesus had for him. But an encounter in John 21 with Jesus put him back on track. Maybe we need an encounter like this...

Encounters part 12: Pray For Your Leaders

Our country and it's leadership doesn't always go the same direction that we as Christians would like to see it go. So, how do we respond when our leadership doesn't do things in a way that is honoring to God?

Encounters part 11: The Sower

Jesus tells a story about planting seeds that is supposed to get his audience thinking about the condition of their hearts. What kind of soil is the message of God landing on when it is shared with you?

Encounters part 10: The Father's Heart

There are three stories that Jesus tells to a group of people to help them understand a little bit more about who He is. Let's see if we can learn something as well.
