The most important discipleship you will do will be inside the walls of your house, on family vacations, and going out to eat. How you react to tough situations, the way you spend your time, and how often you pray will all be viewed through the most impressionable eyes in your world.  Read More

Discipleship isn’t a program we do. It’s pouring ourselves into people.  Read More

Discipleship takes work. One of the most important aspects of discipleship is the character of the discipler. If you want to disciple someone, you have to take inventory of WHO you are.  Read More

Many would see following Christ as the easiest part of being a disciple, but it may be the hardest, and it is definitely the most pivotal.  Read More

Discipleship is not a program. It’s not a “6 months and move on” kind of thing. It took Jesus three years to train the disciples, and He was the Son of God.  Read More

How can we play prosecutor if we are guilty as well? We all want grace when it comes to our sin, but are we willing to extend that to others?  Read More

Most sin starts with selfishness. I want what I want, and I don’t want to wait for what I want. When self becomes our biggest motivator, we can convince ourselves that everything we do is fine as long as it makes us happy.   Read More

We hold our leaders to a different standard, and we absolutely should. However, there is no one who is without sin. There is no one who can say they’ve lived the perfect life.  Read More

God’s grace is more accessible than we can possibly understand, but we need to understand that it is very, very real. God chose to give it to us even though we don’t deserve it.  Read More

While we can’t see what the future holds, God holds that future in his hands. We just need to trust God and trust the process.   Read More

Abraham was actually going to follow through on God’s request. He was going to sacrifice his only son simply because God asked him to. Truthfully, this blows my mind. Abraham’s ultimate faith in God was beyond anything this world had seen up to this point.  Read More

While the rest of the world was falling apart, there was Noah. Noah lived differently. He raised his children differently. He didn’t fall for Satan’s schemes and just do whatever his sinful nature wanted. He walked with God.  Read More

This life isn’t easy. There will be trials. There will be hard times. People will let you down. You will lose loved ones. Thankfully, we serve an amazing God who has set us up for success in this crazy world.  Read More

Our redemption is not a short story. It’s not a quick read, a YouTube short, or a TikTok. It is a layered story that took generations and millennia to happen. Along the way, there have been challenges, battles, and death. There have also been numerous victories, but understand that our redemption has come at a price.  Read More

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the idea of a “free gift” that we miss the fact that our redemption calls us to action. We aren’t to sit on our hands and just revel in our salvation. Once we have been redeemed, we are then called. That’s the beauty of the cross. The cross doesn’t just give us eternal hope; it gives us purpose.  Read More

Christ’s sacrifice became the bridge that connected the chasm we’ve created and gave us access back to God. Now, we have the ability to follow the Spirit’s leading and find ourselves no longer condemned but adopted.  Read More

Our perspective should be this, God blesses so we bless God. This leaves no room for pride or the need for power. There is only one God. I’m so thankful that’s not me.   Read More

As I’m sure we all know, we can try our best to cover up our sin, but it usually takes more sin to cover up that initial sin. Deception quickly becomes the pattern and we find ourselves in a very dark place.  Read More

Why did He have to rise though? Why did He have to die on a cross? Why did he have to suffer beatings, mockery, and an unfair trial? Sin. If there was no sin, there’s no need for the cross. Without sin, there’s no need for a savior. Without sin, we’re good to go.  Read More

Our service has an end goal. We are to make disciples. Our service has one source. That is Christ Jesus. Our service comes from one place, worship. When the day comes that we finally get to receive the very thing we have lived our lives for and our hope is made complete, worship will still be there.  Read More

A disciple is easily broken down as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus and is committed to the mission of Jesus. Notice, that there are no Bible College degrees in there. There’s nothing about putting in years of service. It doesn’t say that you have to have half the Bible memorized. Instead, we are to go, share, and do life.  Read More
