Jesus isn’t the REFLECTION of our earthly fathers. He is the PERFECTION of our earthly fathers. A provider and a protector that will never leave us or abandon us and who always shows up.

We fill our perspectives with who/what we magnify, that influences our perceptions, which determines the reality we live in.

The way to live under Jesus' wonderful counsel is through submission, which means to advocate and desire His leadership in your life over and above all others.

Advent is an anticipation that looks forward to a future that's better than the present because it's rooted in a confidence that comes from past experiences.

Genuine faith results in faithful action.

Because of Jesus, we are free to love people that are different from us, disagree with us, or even dislike us.

The PERSONAL transformation that Jesus does IN us, leads to PUBLIC transformation that Jesus brings THROUGH us.

For James, being known as someone that gave his entire live to serve Jesus and advance His kingdom was enough. Would that be enough for you or would you need to be known for more?

Grace is a gift from God, given through Jesus. It is what brings full transformation into our lives. But we must let grace find us and find us out.

People are "meaning making machines.” We use stories to make sense of the world around us. The problem is, those stories are usually one sided, worst case scenarios, and are seldom true.

When our insecurity hijacks our identity we must remember who's we are, the truth about how God feels about us, and who He says we are.

When our emotions and feelings become overwhelming we often run away and hide. God comes to us in our hideouts asking: “What are you doing here?”

Within each of us is a collection of key moments we've carried under a shroud of shame and secrecy. Triggers are the emotions that surround those moments.

We usually find ourselves either protecting or hiding behind what our lives look like on the surface, while pushing down and hiding what lives below.

Jesus came to start a Gospel movement of multiplication through disciple making. We are commissioned and equipped to join His movement today.

We believe that The Gospel is best shared in and through intentional relationships. Everyone deserves a chance to hear about the amazing love of Jesus.

We read in the Bible that God didn't create us to do life alone. We are designed to partner together. But what does that really look like?

Jesus lived the way. He lived connected to The Word, under the authority of God, in the desires of God, and empowered by the Spirit of God. We do the same.
