- Gratitude
Nothing Compares
Much of what we're grateful for are things of this world. But in light of what we have in Christ, nothing compares. Nothing this world offers comes close to a personal relationship with Jesus.
- Grace
Not Earned
Confidence in our salvation doesn't come from our good works, it comes from God's grace. Our good works are the result of our faith, not a requirement for it.
- Witness
Attraction, Not Promotion
How exactly are we an effective witness? Like a branch drawing life from the vine, we grow so the fruit we bear points back to Jesus. Attraction, not promotion.
- Humility
Have This Mind
On Friday we talked about choosing humility before our feet hit the floor. Today, Paul shows us why. Jesus emptied Himself, that's the bar.
- Humility
Before Your Feet Hit the Floor
Before your feet hit the floor each morning, surrender the day to Him. Humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking of ourselves less often. His will over our own.
- Suffering
Street Cred
Our trials build credibility in our testimony, street cred in Christ. You wouldn't take flying lessons from someone who's never been in the cockpit. Paul wrote about standing firm from a prison cell.
- Suffering
The Sixty-Fifth Time
Sixty-five rounds of Keytruda. Plenty of days I asked God to take it away. So did Paul. God said no, then said something better: my grace is sufficient, my power is perfect in weakness.
- Purpose
To Live Is Christ
Are you living in Christ, or for the pleasures of the world? If Paul is right, even death is gain. What do we really have to lose?
- Unity
What Does It Matter?
When you find yourself judging someone else's motives for sharing the gospel, ask what Paul asked from his prison cell: what does it matter? As long as Christ is preached.
- Faith
He Loved First
Watching the sun come up, I can't help but marvel at what God has made. Loving Someone you can't see takes faith. But faith and action don't earn His love, He loved us first.
- Grace
Paid in Full
A Cody Johnson lyric stopped me cold: Jesus has already paid every debt I owe. Most of us walk around with a tally sheet. But the books were balanced two thousand years ago. Tetelestai. Paid in full.
- Love
Love Made Visible
Every relationship needs two things, love and action. Real love always shows up in what we do. Touching the lives around us is a surefire way to touch God's heart.
- Balance
Where Balance Comes From
You have any balance in your life? Would you even know what it was if you had it? Balance shows up in an unexpected place, when we stop staring at our own problems and start serving someone else.
- Pride
Pride Goes Before the Fall
Pride doesn't always look like arrogance, sometimes it's just quietly believing we got this. The world says believe in yourself. There's a difference between stewardship and making yourself your own god.
- Love
The Dude in the Left Lane
The Golden Rule is easy in theory, hard in traffic. Loving the people we don't like takes seeing them differently. Even the dude in the left lane is made in God's image.
- Incarnation
God With Us
Why did God send Jesus? He could have chosen any way to save us, but He came close. Immanuel means God with us, close enough to touch. So let's live that way too.
- Grace
Drop the Stone, Pick Up the Towel
In a world that goes from zero to 100 in a hot second, Jesus calls us to drop the stones and pick up the towel. Stand up for the overlooked. Then serve.
- Hypocrisy
Doers, Not Just Hearers
Many people walk away from church because they think Christians are hypocrites. Hypocritical moments happen, but a hypocritical lifestyle is a problem. Let's be doers, not just hearers.
- Grace
He Never Leaves
When we sin, it can feel like God has left us. But His presence doesn't disappear with our failures. Recognizing He's still there is the doorway to His grace.
- Faith
Let Go of the Wheel
When your plans don't go the way you planned, that frustration is evidence faith is weak. Like throwing a curveball, you have to let go of the wheel and trust Him.
- Faith
Bloom Where You Are Planted
God didn't put you where you are by mistake. Bloom where you are planted, pray for the place and the people, and stand still while He fights the battle for you.
- Peace
The Peace That Only God Can Give
In the middle of hard times, what we really need isn't for the trouble to disappear, it's the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. With His peace, we can face anything.
- Perseverance
What Does It Mean to Be Blessed?
So I was thinking about something the other day. You know we always hear folks say, "I am blessed," but what are we actually referring to when we say...
- Wisdom
Ask for Wisdom, Not a Way Out
So after last week's messages, I bet some of y'all are thinking, "that's great Frank, but how exactly am I supposed to rejoice when everything is...
