Pentecost is one of the most important moments in the life of the Church- and yet, for many believers, it's one of least understood.
Jesus came that we would have abundant life
What will we leave behind, what will be our legacy? Even in the face of death, Paul's concern was for his young protégé Timothy
Our lives are not futile, our failures are not fatal, and our death is not final
The church in Corinth was filled with problems
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey knowing full well he would trigger the religious and political authorities
The Phrase " Everything Happens for a Reason" often minimizes pain and oversimplifies suffering
While happiness is good, it's not God's ultimate goal for our lives.
God never tells us to erase our memories or act as if nothing happened
Often we say phrases like "God will never give you more than you can handle", or "God helps those who help themselves." But did God really say that?
What would you say to a person if you were asked to describe what God is like? Would you tell the person that God is love, powerful, infinite, sovereign , and the creator of the universe? Would you ever think to say that God is good?
A life that truly flourishes is not built on fleeting resolutions or sheer willpower--- it is cultivated in the Spirit
Faith is a journey of both stepping out and keeping our eyes on Jesus
Don't let anxiety rule over you, but through prayer, supplication and thanksgiving bring your request before God
What the church needs more than anything is a dramatic encounter with the Holiness of God
Jesus is our Hope, Love, Joy and Peace
