Christians Should Be Different

Christianity is getting a bad reputation because too many disciples fail to show any distinguishing characteristics from the world. Jesus has saved us from sin but also to a new way of living.

Avoiding Sinful Opportunities

While you might be prone to wander in certain ways, you are most likely more susceptible to temptation in particular places and at specific times. You’ve got to evaluate your habits to find victory against temptation.

How Would People Describe You at Your Church?

All of us are known by our dominant traits – even among our churches. Have you ever considered what your habits tell others about your commitment to your church family?

The Target on Your Worship Team’s Back

Your worship team is under spiritual attack. If your team doesn't seem to be at war, it may be because the battle is already over.

Your Family Tree Doesn’t Disqualify You

Exodus 6:14-30 – Before the plagues commenced, Scripture provides a genealogy for Moses and Aaron, highlighting their unsavory family line. Just like these two who were used mightily by God, nothing in your family tree can disqualify you from God’s service.

Magnify (DNOW)

If someone inspects our lives, we desire them to discover Jesus as our most important value. Christ is so worthy; we cannot magnify Him halfway.

The Great Decommission

The job is incomplete when someone comes to faith in Christ. Discipleship – and not conversion – is the goal.

Praising His Design

There’s nothing wrong with how God made you. This world will tell you that your insecurities reveal that you need a change, but what you actually require is sacred contentment as you acknowledge God’s blueprint.

Worship as a Symphony

Worship is when we put our individual melodies aside and unite for symphonic praise that God wholeheartedly deserves. Gather with God's people and make beautiful music together.

Churches Helping Churches

If we can rid competition from our churches, we can start viewing one another as partners in the Great Commission. We need to start prioritizing what God is doing among all the churches rather than focusing on how we can brag about what we are doing through ours.
