#1,062: Do You Love God With Your Mind? 5:30

12h ago5:30

5:30

I’m fascinated with the idea that we are to love God with all of our minds. The Bible sees the mind as a place of our thoughts, judgment, and intention. Our minds allow us to be rational, weigh evidence, make decisions about right and wrong, and to develop opinions. Our minds allow us to worship, praise God, love, repent, and trust. Main Points: 1.…

#1,061: Do You Have Joy? 5:32

1d ago5:32

5:32

How is it possible to have all of our sins forgiven, to have the promise of eternal life, to daily live with a relationship with God, and not have joy? How is it possible? If we have experienced such amazing gifts from God, shouldn’t our lives radiate the joy of the Lord? Main Points: 1. Joy in the Biblical context, is not an emotion. Joy is an att…

#1,058: God Will Give You Opportunities 5:21

5:21

Today God will give you an opportunity. I believe it happens every day. God gives you and me opportunities to serve Him through our witness, acts of kindness, words of encouragement, and steps of faith. Main Points: 1. So often we miss these opportunities to serve God because they are small. We don’t recognize them as a chance to be a blessing to s…

#1,057: There Is No Substitute for Fervent Prayer 5:23

7d ago5:23

5:23

Let us remember that nothing is a substitute for earnest prayer. Nothing can take its place. Today’s church does many important things, but we must make prayer a priority. Main Points: 1. This is a remarkable story of God’s power and deliverance, but what stands out to me the most from this story is the commitment of the church to prayer. This mira…

#1,056: Your New Identity as a Child of God 5:22

8d ago5:22

5:22

If you have placed your faith in Jesus, you are a child of God. This is your God-given identity and purpose. You are to live for God and his glory. You are to fulfill His purpose for your life. There is no higher calling and no greater joy than to live for God. Main Points: 1. For the Christian, identity shouldn’t be an issue. The Bible makes it ve…

#1,055: Avoiding The Desire to Become Jealous 5:29

9d ago5:29

5:29

Jealousy has been defined as “resenting God’s goodness in others’ lives and ignoring God’s goodness in my own life. Jealousy is an enemy of our hearts because it causes a lack of contentment and gratitude toward God. Main Points: 1. Jealousy can lead us to become angry, bitter, and unforgiving. It can lead us to gossip, lie, or be malicious. Jealou…

#1,054: What Story Will You Tell The Next Generation? 5:32

13d ago5:32

5:32

This generation must believe God to move in power so they too, will have their own stories to tell. We cannot let the story of God’s power die with our generation. Main Points: 1.

#1,053: Does Your Soul Need a Tune-Up? 5:18

14d ago5:18

5:18

My heart does not naturally follow after God. It does not naturally seek after Him. With intentionality, I must get back in tune with God. Main Points: 1. We can ask, “Are my words out of tune with the Spirit of God? Have my words been negative, critical, crass, or even vulgar? Have my words been filled with complaint, gossip, criticism, or profani…

#1,052: Let God Restore Your Hope 5:40

15d ago5:40

5:40

Remember this: our hope in God isn't just a wish or a dream, but sure confidence that what God says will happen. Every other hope will disappoint. Every other hope will come up short. God is the one who never fails, he never leaves us, and he never forsakes us. Main Points: 1. Today, I ask you to let the Word of God penetrate the dark place in your…

#1051: God Will Meet You in the Storm 5:52

20d ago5:52

5:52

If storms are inevitable, unpredictable, and impartial, then the issue really becomes “what is my response going to be to the storms that are inevitably going to happen in my life?” Where will you turn? Where will you go? What will you do? Main Points: 1. We can turn to Jesus during our storm. He is there. He is available. He cares. Don’t ride out …

#1,050: Do You Have the Fear of Man? 5:45

21d ago5:45

5:45

There is a very common type of fear identified in the Bible that is not talked about much. It is the fear of man. It’s a fear of people and it can include intimidation, peer pressure, social anxiety, isolation, and insecurity. The fear of man can lead us to make choices that aren’t right for us or avoid making decisions at all. Main Points: 1. When…

#1,049: What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? 5:40

22d ago5:40

5:40

In my years of serving as a pastor, I’ve discovered that often people have an incomplete understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we share the message of faith in Jesus, people are often ready to receive Jesus in their life. They certainly want forgiveness, they want God’s blessings, and they want the assurance of Heaven. But is that all the…

#1,048: Building Christian Character 5:30

23d ago5:30

5:30

Character is never built in a classroom. Character is built in the circumstances of life. God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Chris…

#1,047: Praying for Persecuted Christians 5:21

27d ago5:21

5:21

For those of us in the West, suffering, and persecution for our faith are minimal. It might be easy to forget that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world are suffering greatly as a result of the gospel. May we “remember their chains.” May we not forget them and may we pray for God’s strength, comfort, and help in their time of …

#1,046: The Desire to Love God More 5:40

28d ago5:40

5:40

When we recognize how great God’s love is for us, the only response is to love him in return. No one has done for us what God has done. No one has given to us what God has given. Jesus laid down his life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we could have forgiveness and eternal life. It is the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever seen. …

#1,045: Waiting for Jesus to Come Back 5:20

29d ago5:20

5:20

We don’t like waiting, but as we wa…

#1,044: You Can Trust the Character of God 5:31

He does not fail or forget.…

#1,043: Learning to be a Peacemaker 5:49

5:49

The children of God are peacemakers. A peacemaker is someone who intentionally works to help people reconcile with God and others. Anyone who does the hard work of peacemaking will be blessed by God.

#1,041: Everything We Need Follows our Surrender to God 5:39

1M ago5:39

5:39

You and I are going to struggle with our humanity. Surrender doesn’t seem like a good idea to any of us. It feels like we are giving up and losing control, but when we surrender to God we lose things we don’t need to gain the things we really do. Main Points: 1. Everything you need is on the other side of surrendering your life to God. 2. Everythin…

#1,040: All Scripture is Inspired by the Holy Spirit 5:57

1M ago5:57

#1,039: The Impact of Your Personal Testimony 5:20

1M ago5:20

5:20

Your story is one of your greatest ministry tools. I meet people who feel they have nothing to offer the Lord. In their minds, they feel incapable of serving in some ministry. Yet, every one of us has a story. It’s a God story. It’s a story of how we met Jesus, the circumstances of your salvation, and how Jesus has changed your life. Main Points: 1…

#1,034: Don't Waste Your Opportunities 5:46

2M ago5:46

5:46

The Bible has a lot to say about time. The most important thing it says is something we know already—that our time is limited. Time can be used or wasted, it can be invested or squandered, but either way, once used, it can never be regained. Time matters because we have such a limited supply. Main Points: 1. We always have plenty of time to do ever…

#1,033: God is With the Brokenhearted 5:51

#1,030: An Increasing Appetite for the Word of God 5:43

2M ago5:43

5:43

We must have a desire for the Scripture. It’s through the pages of the Bible we come to know the author. My prayer is that we would develop a hunger for the Word of God, because we have a hunger to know God personally. Main Points: 1. If it’s true that the majority of Christians are not reading and learning from the Word of God on a regular basis, …

#1,029: The Difference Jesus Makes 5:16

2M ago5:16

5:16

#1,027: Waiting for the Harvest 5:35

2M ago5:35

Let me remind you of an important principle about the work of God: The harvest belongs to God. …

#1,026: Enduring Hard Things for Christ 5:50

2M ago5:50

#1,025: What To Do When You are Weary 5:30

2M ago5:30

5:30

Howeve…

#1,024: Is Money the Root of all Evil? 5:59

2M ago5:59

5:59

The love of money is a heart issue. It’s called greed. Greed is one of the enemies of our hearts. Very quietly it slips in and begins to guide and direct our decisions. The Bible calls greed sin because it can lead us to push God out of our lives. Greed is dangerous because it blinds us to what is truly important. Main Points: 1. The problem with t…

#1,023: The Need for Spiritual Protection 5:36

2M ago5:36

5:36

We have an adversary, and enemy, the devil who wants to attack our faith, bring confusion and discouragement and cause us to falter in our relationship with God.

#1,019: The Command to Love One Another 5:29

2M ago5:29

5:29

In the New Testament, as Jesus was preparing …

Sometimes the departure from the fait…

#1,014: Peace is Found in the Presence of God 5:26

3M ago5:26

5:26

The presence of God is an amazing thing. To think that God is with us is incredible. God is omnipresent. He is always with us. He promised to never leave us or forsake us. But if that is true, why don’t we experience more peace? The answer is that we are not always aware of God’s presence. Main Points: 1. J. Oswald Sanders - “Peace is not the absen…

#1,013: Falling Prey to the Temptation of Neglect 5:46

3M ago5:46

5:46

Neglecting the things that are important does not usually occur in one big step or one decisive action. No, neglect occurs slowly. It’s incremental. Neglect happens when we ignore the little things.
