God Never Leaves Us - Even in Hard Times

19This has been a great week for me, and I hope you too, for digging deep into God’s word and focusing on being intentional about my gratitude. I feel like we have had some great discussions about when and where God is in good times and in bad. But there’s a little something more I’d like to talk...

Grace Explained - God's Free Gift of Righteousness

Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His favor. So,...

God's Peace vs. The World's Peace

Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best.

God's Grace Sustains Us Through Every Trial

Let keep talking about Job for a little bit. You see God would only allow Satan to go so far with Job. We would only allow him to endure just what he was capable of enduring. Just like our own struggles and pain, Satan is trying to break you and God is trying to make you using the same situation....

The Gospel in Two Words: Be Nice

So, I guess some of you are wondering what was going on yesterday when I closed with “be nice”? Well, the deal is, Dr. Sam Mathews spoke at my father’s service and talked about what being nice is all about.

Saved by Grace, Not Works

Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our...

Growing Love Through Faith

As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more challen...

Don't Believe in Yourself - Believe in Jesus

I had a great conversation yesterday with one of my friends (and new member to the devotional beginning today) and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tel...

Give God the Wheel

I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, give God have the wheel!”Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situat...

Praying for Wisdom, Not Escape from Trials

Alright, so you are probably asking yourself, after yesterday’s message, “how exactly am I supposed to stay rejoicing during these hard times?” Well, I hear you and I get it. James is telling us to rejoice during our times of struggle because this faith produces perseverance. The Bible teaches us...

Planting Seeds, Moving Mountains

So will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith t...

What Are You Waiting For? Step Out in Faith

What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, one of us has been given a great opportunity to change the direction of their life and career by making some big changes and trusting God to lead the way. I’m super excited for him too, God’s got...

If God Is for Us, Who Can Be Against Us?

So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...

Finding Faith Through Life's Emotional Motocross

One of the great things I love about racing motocross is the incredible amount of personal dialogue. I mean I literally go through every emotion I think in a weekend of racing. Fear, pain, excitement, anger, joy, hope and doubt. But what’s always great is because of these emotions, high or low, i...

Bringing Hope to a Skeptical World

We sure live in a world of skepticism and doubt. I mean just turn on the news, either side, FOX or CNN, they’re all out there. As I like to say, “What this world needs is some Jesus!” People just don’t believe in much of anything anymore. They mock it all. All social institutions are viewed as in...

Believing for the Impossible

So, I’m keeping with where we want to be this year, God wants us to ask Him to get involved! Yeah baby!He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires us to surrender control and give Him the room to work in & through us! If we can see it in the supernatural, He can do it in the nat...

But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...

Knowing You're Saved: It's Not About Performance

Hey, What’s up?Is it presumptuous to fully know you are saved? Absolutely not! It is written throughout the Scripture that God wants you to have the assurance of knowing you are saved so that not only can you be secured in your salvation but assured. But I mean, come on, how do we know, right? Mo...
