You are United with the Lord
How can we come alongside others as they grow in sanctification? We can help them remember they’re united with Christ and one with Him in spirit.
You Cannot Be Separated from the Love of God
Take heart in knowing there is nothing in all creation that can separate you from the love of God. This brings true security!
You are Justified
We all have an innate desire to be right. We fight to prove ourselves right and true and good. While we can often see the struggle to be right in others, the question really is if we can see it in ourselves. Do you recognize the ways that you try to justify yourself?
You Have Access to God
Jesus said it is the “pure in heart” who will see God and experience fellowship with Him. Because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, who can approach Him?
You are a Friend of God
Jesus has chosen you as His friend. He wants to work with you to produce fruit for your good and His glory. He wants to share with you all that he has heard from the Father. And He has stood between you and our greatest enemies: sin, death and Satan.
You are God's Child
Do you know God’s deep love for you? In Christ, you are a beloved child of God. He doesn’t love you because of your performance or how well you obey or whether you measure up to certain standards. God loves you because you are His child through faith in Jesus Christ.
Finding Freedom from Flesh Patterns
Repentance literally means a change in mind. Every time we read our bibles or read a good book we are reprogramming our minds, but if we want to grow in the grace of God, we have to reprogram our minds—which are a primary spiritual battlefield.
Satan's Primary Strategy
If Satan can place a thought in your mind, it isn't much more of a trick for him to make you think it's your idea. Deception is his primary strategy—which is why you must know the Truth, because the Truth will set you free.
Who is Responsible for What?
We can solve a lot of problems in our families, churches, and communities if we properly answer the question: Who is responsible for what? We need to learn our role and help others assume their responsibilities as well.
Stand Firm
As we enter this new year, we will inevitably stand in places of beauty and places of trial and devastation. But our ability to stand in the midst of the good and the bad is completely based upon the finished work of Jesus Christ. With Him, we can stand firm through any circumstance.
Relating to One Another
One of the greatest challenges in life is learning to love one another in a fallen world. As believers in Christ, we are responsible for our own character and the needs of those around us.
Dealing with Anxiety
God doesn't lead through anxiety. We are to cast our anxiety upon Jesus, because He cares for us.
Greater Things are Still to Come
As we step into the new year, consider what new thing God might be doing in you right now. What new thing does He want to accomplish in you or through you in 2026?
Living Free This Advent: Receive Fully and Love All
Receiving involves humility (accepting a gift you didn’t earn) and trust (believing that you don’t need to somehow ‘make up for it’). But receiving is the only way to experience real freedom in Christ.
Expectation & Anticipation
Christmas morning is a time to remember the arrival of Jesus Christ. His birth as a baby—and later death and resurrection—opened up the way for us to experience the security and protection that come with being born of God.
Our Father God is a Giver
Our heavenly Father is a Giver. He provides everything we need. We can count on Him to take care of us because, “He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” (2 Timothy 2:13b) As His followers, we are called to reflect His giving heart to those around us.
Living Free This Advent: Spend Less and Give More
If we are trying to follow God’s example, giving at Christmas ought to look less like giving presents and more like giving our presence. In fact, the best gifts celebrate our relationships with God and others.
