We are a temple of the Holy Spirit, here to create connections that change communities by sharing the good news of the gospel. And through unity, we help others understand more fully who they are and whose they are. What are you doing with what you're carrying?
Faith is where we show off our weakness by trusting God, who is always strong. So, no matter what you’re facing know that He is holding every situation because He’s also holding you.
It’s in our nature to hold on to things, but mature giving reflects the grace of God. This allows us to show His heart to others. Everything we do starts with the heart, and everyone has something to give. The question is, what are you doing with what you have?
The world has an unrealistic view on the expectations for marriage. But with a foundation centered on God’s grace and truth, marriage can be a canvas, shaping many lives in the flow of love and unity.
The media today tries to tell us how to feel, keeping us in a state of worry and hurry. But God is never in a hurry. His timing is perfect because Grace has a pace of unhurried rhythm. So learn to be content with being still. Slow down and keep it simple.
You’re a product of the work of God, created to do good work. A work He prepared in advance for the achievement of a purpose. Because you can tell people anything, but how you show them the love of Jesus will speak louder.
We can do all the right things, the wrong way, with the wrong motives. But when we are motivated by love, rather than ego and committed to the mission, we can fulfill the purpose God has for us His way.
Our words have the power to create. Good or bad, division or unity, the choice is entirely up to us. And as followers of Jesus, our united mission should be more important than our divided opinions. So what are your words saying to those around you?
We can’t buy into everything we see and hear; if we don’t control what we think, we’ll never control what we do. A renewed mind is an ongoing journey, and if we can believe right, everything else will fall into place.
Change will always happen; it’s the catalyst for growth. But in order to receive what lies ahead we have to be willing to release the old. So stop holding on to what God no longer remembers. It’s time to make room for the new.
The word of God is a steady stream of truth, and when our minds are renewed with His truth, we train our souls to be at rest and realize who we have been made all along.
Transformation of the mind is a process, one set on understanding who we already are in God and abiding in this truth His way. Stop trying to produce in your own strength. Let’s live securely in Him while carrying His love, joy, and peace to others.
The moment you trust in Christ you become a new creation, but true discipleship is rooted in the renewing of our minds. Let God transform you by changing the way you think and it will change the way you live.
We carry the living water thirsty people are looking for, but we don’t have to cram it down their throats. Jesus didn’t condemn or condone sin but extended compassion while confronting it. We should seek to do the same.
We can’t modify others. But we can love them where they are, leading them to the one who can do something about their sin. His perfect love will provide the proof.
Jesus had a heart for people, so we should be helping others become a part of His family. Know that we’re not here just to take up space but to march in what we were made for.
