All of us struggle in some way with worry. Yet, Jesus says, “Therefore do not worry…” Is this even possible in the world we live in today? There is a difference between healthy worry and unhealthy worry. Healthy worry means we are concerned, but unhealthy means we are trying to be in control. Prolonged worry takes God out of our life, and therefore results in sin. So, how should we respond to worry? Focus on Jesus. Be wise and turn what you are facing over to Him. God’s got your situation, and God’s got you. Don’t worry.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be holy. But, how do we be holy in the world we live in today? Holy means to be “set apart.” We are called to be different from our culture. This is especially difficult in the area of sexual immorality. There are so many temptations and areas where people choose to compromise. We must come back to what God tells us in His Word. God created the world, and God created us – He knows what is best for our life. So, will we live like our culture, or will we be holy?

What is the foundation of your life? We all hear the stories and the words of Jesus, but the difference between the wise and foolish builders, according to Jesus, is on what foundation we build our lives. There are many options out there – money, sports, kids, success – but all of these are shifting sand. The only foundation that can weather the storms of life is the Rock of Jesus. We all hear the words of Jesus, but then we must put them into practice. What difference do the stories and words of Jesus make in your life? Is your life built on the foundation of Christ Jesus?

It’s Easter! Praise God! Easter is the greatest event in history and the event that changed our lives for all eternity. Jesus went to the cross to pay the price for your sins – no matter what you have done. No matter how far you feel from God, your Heavenly Father loves you and has an incredible plan for your life. Today, will you come home? Will you give your heart and life fully to God? Ask for His forgiveness, turn away from your sin, and receive the greatest gift of all – salvation. If you are a Christ-follower, will you follow Jesus not just on Easter, but every day of your life? God loves you. Let’s celebrate God’s grace this Easter, and then live as Easter people every day.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ Greatest Stories. It is so important for us to “go and do likewise.” We are called to love and serve others. This starts with seeing the needs around us – our family, friends, church, work, school, neighborhood, and to the ends of the earth. We can’t do everything, but we can all do something. But, even greater in this story, is realizing that Jesus is the One who rescues us. When we were dead, and lying on the side of the road, Jesus came and paid the price to give us life. Let’s worship Jesus on this Palm Sunday! 

In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus shares a story, often called the Parable of the Talents, about a master who entrusts servants resources to manage while he's away. This parable teaches us about using our gifts and resources wisely for His Kingdom. It shows that God expects us to make the most of what we've been given and to invest our time, talents, and resources in ways that honor Him and benefit others. We are not accountable to our fruitfulness but by our faithfulness to Him.
