Can I Go Home?
Jesus tells a story to illustrate the core message of the biblical gospel and answer the question of whether or a not a person who has lived for themselves be brought back home to God. Often called the "parable of the prodigal son", this story teaches us about God, ourselves and what God's heart is towards his children when we wake up and recognize our need for him.

Better Than A Pharisee
Pharisees were considered the most righteous people of their time. So when Jesus declares that "unless your righteousness surpasses the Pharisees", his audience must have been in shock. How could this be? The key is that the righteousness of a Pharisee is external and based on their own efforts. Jesus is calling a new kind of righteous people - who, empowered by the Spirit, have a new life from the inside out.

Instead
God doesn't tell His people to stop sinning and leave it at that. He calls us to a new life instead of our old life. He calls us to be holy instead of being unholy. He calls us to truth instead of lies. The daily life of a Christian is choosing to living the new way instead of the old way - fueled, empowered and directed by the Holy Spirit.

Default Setting
Humanity's default setting is not to live for God but to live for self. When a person turns their life to Christ and receives the Holy Spirit, things can change and new life begins from the inside out. Even as Christians, we will still struggle, needing to daily live by the God's power and not return to our default setting.

John 3:16
John 3:16 might be the greatest verse in the Scriptures. This one verse tells us a lot about God, Jesus and all of us, which in turn, is the more important news for all of us to hear and believe.

You Reap What You Sow
Scriptures tells us: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a one sows, this he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7). So, will we sow spiritual seeds which will produce spiritual fruit or will you plant seeds of self and this world and produce that kind of fruit? The choices, decisions and habits of today will affect our lives tomorrow.
