Welcome to our series called The Journey to Freedom and Courage. Before we move on, I want to stop and define that. What do we mean when we say Freedom and Courage? Have you ever spent time with a young child? Maybe around two or three years old? One of my favorite memories of having three little girls was taking them out to breakfast. We would give mom time to sleep in, jump into the van, eat breakfast, . . . Read More »
4 Ways We May Gain The World But Lose Our Souls (Part 1)
This summer, we have been studying the questions Jesus asked in Scripture. More than studying them, we are trying to personalize them for ourselves. We called this series The Simple Questions of Jesus because so many of these questions are simple to hear, but we are learning that “simple” doesn’t mean easy. It’s one thing to hear or read a simple question, but it’s not so simple to answer them for ourselves! But it is so good and . . . Read More »
Have You Ever Wondered Why We Complain? Here Is Why We Do
We have been in a crucial teaching series. We have been talking about the real condition of our souls and how to take care of our souls.

Your Soul Craves God
Today I want to start with the words of Jesus. This is from the story of when Jesus was tempted. Jesus told him [Satan], “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” NLT Matthew 4:4 What in the world does that mean? Jesus was saying there is more to life than our appetites like hunger. There is something bigger going on. Inside each person, there . . . Read More »

The Challenge Of Seeing Ourselves As God Does, In A World Trying To Ensure We Don’t
You know the other day I was thinking about something Paul said towards the end of Romans, and it’s stuck in my heart and mind lately. This is something that I don’t think too many of us people…and even us Christians who believe Christ lives in us can see or accept about ourselves.
