The lie we believe: “I What People Say or Think About Me.”

God’s truth: “I Am Who God says I Am”

Galatians 1:10-17

The lie we believe: “I am what I do.”

God’s truth: “I am a servant of God, even as I serve others”

Colossians 3:23-25

We are constantly temped to believe that we are what we have. Materialism, consumerism, and the constant American fascination with stuff infects our hearts. But God's truth that crowds out these lies and mentality is that I am a manager of God's resources. I don't own anything. Everything I've been called to steward is for the sake of God, his kingdom, and the good of my neighbors!

Philippians 3:17-20

Every one of us has a past that, if revealed, would get us cancelled. Our own consciences condemn us. Our memories remind us of our greatest regrets. But God sent his Son to save. That is the good news of Easter. Though we stood condemned, dead in our sin, Jesus willingly laid down his life for ours...

John 3:14-18

We live in a world where Peace rarely seems like a “winning” strategy. Jesus’ solution to a world of conflict is a kingdom of peace. In contrast to the violence and arrogance of worldly kings; Jesus is humble and suffering. And though that sounds like weakness by the world’s standards, this king’s humility brings lasting peace to our war-torn earth.

Matthew 21:1-11

We use prayer as a “Hail Mary,” as a last ditch effort. But this is not the function God created prayer to be in the life of his children. God designed prayer to be preparation for every spiritual battle.

Matthew 6:13
