Our 3 big problems are sin, sorrow, and death. This is the same problem faced by everyone else in the world, and Jesus has given us our marching orders, giving us the chance to do something about all three!
The marching orders given by Jesus, that have been passed down through generations, calls for us to make something, and if we don’t do it, no one else will. It’s up to us to carry them out!
For all of us "good" people who aren't running from God, we need to ask ourselves a question - if we believe we have surrendered to God's purposes in our lives, have we also surrendered to God's purposes in the world?
Being disciplined is never fun. But sometimes it's only after a season of brokenness that we begin to see life more clearly. Is that why God disciplines us? Not to pay us back, but because He actually loves us?
You know God wants you to do one thing...make a particular decision...move in a certain direction. But you resist and do the opposite...you run the other way. Jonah resisted and found himself in a nightmare situation. Where has your resistance taken you?
If we build relationships through conversations, then prayer is perhaps the most powerful relationship-building tool we have to connect with God personally. But what if prayer isn't what we've always thought it to be?
What do you hope people will say when they describe you? When someday, they tell your life story? The one thing most of us want the most could ruin it all.
We know what personal relationships with other people look like, but can we really have that kind of relationship with God? Jesus said we not only could but should. But how?
What do we do when God won’t remove what is frustrating us or causing us pain?
Why would God command you to do something He knows you can’t do? So that he can help you achieve the impossible.
