Don’t downplay how God created you to please and serve others. There’s no such thing as a second-class calling.

I believe my story matters. You’re never too messed up to matter.

Who am I? Why am I here? No matter how old you are or what stage in life you’re in, those two questions can play a significant role in life. Try to understand the complex and unique design God has put on your life. Your story, your life matters. Isaiah 43:1 says God has summoned you by name. But sometimes we feel like we are too messed up to matter. But the truth is, it’s okay not to be okay. Psalm 139:16 says, “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Being honest about your obstacles and opportunities isn’t always easy. Although we admire each other’s strengths, we connect with each other’s weaknesses. Be excited about what God is going to do in your life and through your life.

This Easter, we're learning how Jesus brings calm to our crazy lives. Even when things get super messy, like they did when Jesus was on Earth, He tells us, "It is finished." That means He's made everything okay again. We get to start fresh, find peace, and help others feel better too. Let's find out together how Jesus beating death helps us beat our own messes and make the world a brighter place.

How do we make Jesus fit our political views? Remind people to see their politics through the lens of Jesus, not Jesus through the lens of my politics. Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. Jesus said, "I am the Messiah." He Gets us…Jesus was fed up with Politics too.

We like Jesus as our buddy because He will go along with anything. But this is not the Jesus we know from the scriptures. We don’t like the Jesus that will hold us to what we need to hear and do. He is our Redeemer, our Rock, and our Ruler. He didn't come to earth to be cool, He came to save us.
