Who are you - Really?

We often define ourselves by our attributes. We say things like I'm a mom, or a businessman or even "big guy." When those attributes are threatened or removed, and we might feel lost and unsettled. Being a Christian means that our sense of self is stable and based on the perfect promises of God. Col 3:3-4

Goodbye is temporary

Although we mourn the loss of our loved ones, Christians believe that the grieving is temporary. We are comforted by believing that one day we will be reunited with our loved ones when we are gathered together to be with Christ. (John 14:1-4)

Why love?

Why are Christians called to show love? John 17:26 describes Jesus Christ's desire that his followers should share the same kind of love that God the Father had for Christ. In showing selfless love, we get a small glimpse of the love that God has for His Son, and we get to be a little bit like God himself.

The follower sent home

While on earth, Jesus didn't ask everyone to follow him as a disciple. When Jesus healed a man of demonic affliction, the man begged to follow Jesus.  Jesus had a better plan, and sent the man back to his home to testify of all that he had experienced. Sometimes the best way to follow Christ, is to simply tell your story.

How can I understand the Bible?

Those who find the Bible vague or meaningless seem to miss the point of the Bible. When we read the Bible looking for Jesus, or identifying how each passage relates to him, we begin to understand it's messages, John 5:39, 40. Have you ever asked "How does this scripture point to Jesus?"

Full Access pass - GRANTED

 Imagine being able to ask anything of the one person who can do anything. That's the promise given to those who follow Christ, Heb 4:16.  How are you using this special all access pass? Do you make it a point to pray everyday? Do you pray more than you complain?

Christ has you covered

Although we all suffer adversity and fear, Christians can take special comfort in the request Jesus made on our behalf. In John 17:11-15 Jesus asks the Father to keep us safe. Jesus doesn't ask that His followers be removed from the adversity, but rather that we are kept safe through it. Are you able to ask God to answer Christ's prayer, by keeping you safe?
