Free From the Power of Temptations
Knowing who Jesus Christ is, this is the core of who we are becoming. A couple of weeks ago, we began a series on the life of Christ. We started with the question, “Who do you say I am?” Why would we start with that? How we answer that question determines how we view theContinue reading “Free From the Power of Temptations”

It Is Clean!
Read Acts 10 here. “Are these dishes clean or dirty?” This is a common question in our house. Most of the time I can answer with confidence the dishes are clean.

REDEEMED: The Unfamily Becomes Family
Last week, I invited you to think about your faith story and how you are different because of the grace of Jesus Christ. If it wasn’t for his mercy and his grace, we would not be able to experience hope, joy, love, and peace in this world. We would constantly shift from emotion to emotion.Continue reading “REDEEMED: The Unfamily Becomes Family”

It’s a Process
Galatians 5:22-25 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against things like this. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the self with its passions and its desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow the Spirit. We have all heardContinue reading “It’s a Process”
