When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

Being part of a local gathering of Jesus followers means you are part of something big. It’s up to each generation to determine what Christianity looks like, sounds like, and reacts like. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

We all have a tendency to drift from God, but we’re never too far from God to restore our relationship with him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

When we get lost, it’s often the result of our own decisions—we wander, drift, or even run away from God. In the parable of the lost son, Jesus sheds light on how God views us when our choices lead us away—and how he responds when we’re ready to come home.

In all its subtle forms, greed has the potential to rob your life. But the secret to living a meaning-filled life is found across the border from what’s in it for me. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

The next time you feel insignificant or unqualified, remember the Christmas story. It’s a powerful reminder that our worth comes from God. He sees us, loves us, and wants to partner with us to invite others into God’s family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

During this time of year, we engage our imaginations as we embrace the magic of Christmas. Let’s also imagine what the world would be like if we fully embraced the way of Jesus—the way of love. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

Jesus came to show us not only the way back to God, but the way back to others as well. As people who have been reconciled to God, we should pursue reconciliation with people whenever possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

Have you ever felt like you've lost your way? Usually by the time we realize we’re lost, we’ve been lost for quite some time. And we instinctively ask, "What should I do?" Instead, there’s a different question to consider. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

It’s easier to keep track of something than to catch up with it. That’s especially true of our money. If our money could talk, it would say, “I’m easy to track, but lose track of me and you will lose your peace of mind.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Por Decatur City Church

Are you mastering your money or being mastered by it? Maybe it’s time to flip the script. Instead of striving to have enough money to satisfy a me-first appetite, Jesus encouraged his listeners to have an others-first approach.

If our money could talk, what would it tell us? You might be shocked to find out that what our money would say is pretty close to what Jesus did say—and what we should still consider today.
