Learning Patience: Waiting on God's Perfect Timing
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself the last few years and one of the things I’ve learned is I need to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people. I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be pati...

Stop Gossip, Start Believing the Best in Others
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it. I also need to not “enable it” when I hear it by giving a participatory laugh or, “now way!” It just makes it worse. It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...

Walk By Faith Not By Sight
So we’ve been talking about gratitude off and on all year and while it’s always a great topic and one we need to continue to be intentional about, I want to shift gears a little bit. Why? Well, because I want to talk about something else, like faith! I’ve been having to lean on my faith a lot lat...

Be Strong and Courageous
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””Joshua 1:9 When I think of being courageous, I think of the story of Peter and his willingness to step over in the storm and walk to Jesus on the...

Growing Love for God Through Faith
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t 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 chall...

Quit Driving, Give God the Wheel
“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 situation in my life the way I HAVE IT PLANNED, God...

Asking God for Wisdom in Hard Times
Alright, so you are probably asking yourself, after Friday’s message, “how exactly am I supposed to stay rejoicing during these hard times?” Well, I hear you and I get it.

If God Be For Us: Living in the Divine Majority
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...

Spiritual Protection: Being Ready for Life's Unexpected Moments
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding and life jackets when on the water? It’s so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right? When we wear these protective devices, they don’t restrict us from enjoying the activity we’re are choosing, rather it...

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear and Worry
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...

More Than Sunday Faith
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for you...

God Commands Your Courage
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty great idea. It’s something nice to hear. But God step...

Trusting God's Goodness Through Life's Hardest Moments
We will all face those times in our lives when we question whether or not God is on our side. I am sure I’ve told this story before, but in light of Thanksgiving, I feel like telling it again. In September of 2016, I was seriously injured doing what I love, racing motocross. I broke my jaw requir...

When God is Silent
So I’ve been reading-thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? I don’t think so…But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right to hear f...

Bringing Hope to a World Full of Doubt
As we fall into November with too much candy in our bellies, I wanted to touch on something I’ve been kicking around all week, doubt. While we talk about hope and good fruit all the time it seems as though it “pays better” to promote the opposite. You see, we sure live in a world of skepticism an...

Believing for the Impossible - God's New Thing
I was in treatment yesterday and I got to thinking about this past year and where I am. I’m not sure what you’ve been doing all year and if it’s even what God wants you to be doing, but I know God wants us to ask Him to get involved. He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires u...

Faith: The Choice That Opens Heaven's Door
We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. 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...

Living in Grace: Peace Through Justification
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...

Overcoming Fear and Looking Forward
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...

Strength in Numbers: Faith Through Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to be wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others.

Faith in the Storm: Beyond Mere Belief
So, I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...

Who Holds Your Future: From Anxiety to Trust
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because we are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...
