  1. What Makes Giving More Blessed?

    MAR 1

    What Makes Giving More Blessed?

    So, we may not be able to point at this specific time and place where Jesus said, "It's more blessed to give than to receive." But those words, I think, perfectly sum up Jesus' ethic. Jesus was all about generosity. Giving and being generous aligns us with God's generous nature. It's who God is. It's what God does. Giving and being generous is being like God. Giving and being generous is being like Jesus. And Jesus says that it's better to be a giver than to be a receiver. It's better to be a conduit of blessing to the people around us than to be a consumer of blessings. Do you believe that? It's kind of a hard thing to believe. It's not what our intuition says. It's not what we would assume. Why is it more blessed to give than to receive? Why is giving more blessed?

  2. The One Time God Says, Test me

    The One Time God Says, Test me

    Bottom line, don’t test God … don’t test God … unless … unless … God says, “Test me.” Which God does … only once in the Bible. It’s wrong to test God, but it’s equally wrong to disobey God if he tells us, explicitly, “Test me.” … Let me show you.

  3. Are you serving God scraps?

    FEB 15

    Are you serving God scraps?

    Our heart is connected to wherever we put our treasure. We FEED whatever is most important to us. So, if your heart is in two children while ignoring five other children, that means that your treasure is going to go to those two children, right? If your heart is in your career and not in your family, then your time is going to go to your career. Or maybe your heart is in your stuff — the accumulation of things. If that's where your heart is, then your money's going to go there too. Which means that your money isn’t going to God. Because we subsidize what we love. Where our heart is, where our passion is, where our love is … will be where we put our attention, our time, and our money. The Bible challenges us to put God first. And the Bible challenges us to prove it with our money. It's one thing to say that you've made God the priority in your life — your money will rat you out. Your money will reveal whether or not God is first.

  4. Why Does God Care About Money?

    FEB 8

    Why Does God Care About Money?

    Maybe you would ask: do I have to give money to be a Jesus Follower or to be a part of the church? Again, all good questions. Maybe you want to know why I would care what you give. Well, I don’t know what you give. But that question does get closer to the bigger, more important question. Which is, why does God care what we do with our money? That’s the big question. Why does God even care? What’s the big deal? Of all the things that Jesus tells us to pay attention to … of all the things that God commands us to do — why money? That’s a great question. I think it deserves more than just a quick answer.

  5. Your Story Could Change Everything

    FEB 1

    Your Story Could Change Everything

    A story of hardship is interesting. But a story of hardship that intersects with Jesus and creates transformation has power to it. A story like that has the ability to move someone. YOUR STORY MAY BE THE STIMULUS THAT SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT JESUS.

  6. Why Jesus Washed Feet

    JAN 26

    Why Jesus Washed Feet

    But when we think about commitment to serving, just remember Jesus who didn't stop after washing the disciples feet that night. He continued to serve all the way to the cross where his body and his blood were broken for you and me. And today his words that Luke records for us ring loud and true to those of us who call ourselves his followers. Take up your cross daily and follow me. And if you can't, you're not worthy of being one of mine. He's calling each of us to a radically different lifestyle than this world calls us to. Not a lifestyle of status, but of service. Not a lifestyle of happiness, but one of blessedness that comes from serving others. You know, Jesus said, you call me teacher and Lord. And you're right, because that's what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I've given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. What do you say?"

  7. The Power of Sharing Meals

    JAN 18

    The Power of Sharing Meals

    "We’re saying food fills our stomachs and it fills our souls. Eating meets a physical need, and eating together can meet a spiritual need. And we’ve said it’s not really about the food itself. It’s about what you intend to do with that opportunity. All of this is about reaching the “ones” in your life. JUST 1 PLUS 5. Sharing a meal will give you opportunities to prove love while also reaching a new depth of relationship with one another. Because eating together has that potential to grow relationship with one another, to create a deeper trust, to create a deeper bond, to create a deeper experience that you can have with one another. And that opens the door to bigger conversations. It opens the door to a deeper spiritual depth. I think sharing a meal makes us real. I think it breaks down barriers. It helps us find common ground. Especially when combined with listening. Last week we talked about the power of listening. We said it this way: “Being heard is so close to being loved that it’s almost indistinguishable.”

  8. Listen: The Simple Act That Changes Everything

    JAN 11

    Listen: The Simple Act That Changes Everything

    “Being heard is so close to being loved that, for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.” This quote comes from a guy named David Augsburger. He was a preacher, writer, and counselor. Do you agree with this quote? Do you feel this? Is there something in this that resonates deeply within you? If you made a short list of the people you like the most, you’ll probably find a common theme that each of them will … listen to you. Doesn’t something awaken within you when someone stops what they’re doing to give you their attention? When you’re having a conversation with someone and they can communicate back to you that they understand you, or that they can relate to you, doesn’t that do something to your heart? Doesn’t it feel like … being loved?
