Since none of our fathers are perfect, being like our fathers can be good news, bad news, or so often a mixture of both. But it is ALWAYS good news to hear that we are like our Father in heaven! 

How well do you know your heavenly Father? Which of His traits do you embody since you are made in His image? Have you recognized moments where you're growing up and seeing His nature coming out in you? If He has not adopted you into His family, who is your spiritual father, and do you see his traits coming out?

Take some time with Pastor Dave to explore the incredible nature and character of our heavenly Father, and consider what it would look like for you to be His child and embody His nature in the world today!

Are you "in" Christ? What exactly does that mean? How does one enter "into" Christ? Is it the same as believing in Him? Where is your identity based?

"Who are you?" How would you answer that question? Would your answer change over time? Would you answer with your career or relationships or hobbies or personality? What if those things changed...would you still be YOU?

In a world that makes identity seem like selecting products off a shelf, the Bible offers the stability and relief of telling us that we are Created by God Himself, and He has already done the design work to create who YOU are! We don't need to be overwhelmed by the countless options of who we want to be in the moment...we can enjoy a lifetime of discovering the design that our Creator has given us! And then enjoy the experience of becoming who He's made us to be!

We are better together! For Christians, we are meant to live in community, with the Word of Christ dwelling in our midst! Take some time with David Carreno to explore the beauty and power of Colossians 3:16, and may the Word of Christ be what your life revolves around!

How do we establish a Christian household culture? Is it through education or imitation? Is it by isolation or collaboration? Is it through comprehensive skills or prioritized purpose?

In this Mothers' Day Sunday, take some time with Pastor Dave to think about the powerful impact mothers, parents, and families can have in establishing Christ's kingdom within the sphere of influence of their households!

If prayer is really such a powerful encounter with God, then why do we so often get bored with prayer, forget to pray, or quit on prayer? Take a few minutes to look into the Bible's advice on how to invigorate your prayer life with determination, gratitude, empowerment and preparation!
