What happens when the rain comes in and it felt like we were following God’s call?

Our past can feel like the wrong ingredients for a quality life recipe. But the case of the Apostle Paul shows God thinks otherwise. He does not waste our past but uses it as He sends us out as agents of the same transformation we have received.

Jim gives us a challenge to consider as we wrap up the Prayer Walk this evening.

As the body, we’re called to show God’s mercy. Can the world see it?

Sometimes we become so fixed on where we want to go that we cannot see how we are defeating ourselves. Jonah runs in the opposite direction when God sends him to Nineveh, raising questions we often avoid: Do we understand who God is, who we are, and how He sees the people we would rather leave behind?

Pastor Tim talks about what the Rich Young Ruler was missing and how it parallels the experience of the Prophet Jonah.

What does Biblical leadership look like? It looks just a “bit” different than what we see in the world.

What happens when the life you planned collapses and your worst failure seems to have settled what you can ever become? Exodus 3–4 brings that question to Moses, a fugitive tending sheep in the wilderness, when the holy God calls him from a burning bush and sends him toward the people and place he fled.

Distractions in relationship are appealing to our flesh but destroy our relationships. When we allow Jesus between us, we become fully present to one another, and God becomes fully present to us. In a world filled with distractions, being intentional is key.

Jim wraps up our exploration of the Fruit of the Spirit by looking at the opposite of “self-control” in this week’s devotional.

What does Paul have in mind when he talks about the gift of generosity? Living a generous life is more than just giving a certain percentage of what we have.

Grace saves us—we don’t deserve it, can’t earn it, and have no grounds to boast about it, as Paul makes plain in Ephesians 2:8–9—so what does it look like when a community of undeserving people actually lives that out together as the church God is building?

Do you feel like your feelings and opinions are often dismissed in your relationships? If so, you’re not alone. Dismissiveness is a common way that the devil tries to ruin relationships. We discusses how to identify and deal with dismissiveness in your relationships. Even when the world dismisses us, God does not. The cross of Jesus is an emphatic statement that we matter, but importantly we matter to God.

Pastor Tim continues our exploration of the Fruit of the Spirit by looking at the opposite of “gentleness” in this week’s devotional.

Is exhortation merely correcting people around us or is there something deeper to the calling to exhort?

Most of us know what it feels like to start strong in our faith and then quietly fizzle out from that initial strength — and the churches in Revelation 2–3 knew that feeling, too.
