God

Brand Spankin New

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:21:22 EST

Who doesn't like new stuff?? Getting something used is ok, but we definitely don't like too much old stuff. There's just something about that new car smell and opening up the packaging to a new TV. What if you could make every part of your life new? You can!

Giveaways

The Christmas Story is about a baby who became a man who was God's gift to mankind to bring us salvation and forgiveness of our sin. There's another aspect of this story that is also very interesting...

Swamped

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 12:41:14 EST

You've probably heard phrases like "I'm swamped", "I've got a full plate", "I'm buried", "I'm up to my ears...", "I'm slammed", etc. before right? Yeah, you've used them every so often. It's definitely better to be busy than to be lazy, but sometimes we can get so busy doing stuff that in the grand scheme of things aren't really all that important.

One Thing

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:16:54 EST

What's that one thing you just love to do and wish you could do it every day of your life? There are things we enjoy to do and many things we can care less about doing. There's one thing though that everything we do hinges on.

Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:36:18 EST

Discipline

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:32:18 EST

You remember being spanked as a kid for something you did wrong? How about being in school and having to write on the chalk board that "you will not talk in class" 100 times? Do you remember the hard work and time it takes to learn a new skill, sport, or trade? Discipline definitely isn't fun, but it's absolutely necessary. There's no way around it.

Follow the Leader

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 09:12:20 EST

Remember being a kid and playing the game "follow the leader"? It was where one kid was the leader and 10 other kids lined behind him/her and had to mimic every move he/she made. It's interesting how we get older and don't wanting to submit to any kind of authority. Following others will help you get to where you're going.

Death Penalty

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:19:47 EST

If you had poison in your body that in a short amount of time would kill, would you take an anecdote that would kill the virus and save your life? It's a fairly stupid question to ask. Of course you'd want the anecdote. Well, just like the poison there are certain things we allow into our lives that stops us from enjoying the very best life we could live. Would you rather kill those things or let them kill you?

In Denial

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:08:28 EST

M O, short for modus operandi or mode of operation. It's a person characteristic pattern and style of doing something. It's the what behind the why. So what's your m o? In this message Josh talks about how denial can not only be a good thing, but how it's a great trait to have as part of our mode of operation.

Another World

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:10:51 EST

Sometimes we can be so fixed on ourselves and what's happening in our own little world. Too many things to do and so many places to be at. No doubt we have responsibilities to fulfill, but what about stepping into someone else's world every so often?

Whatever Works

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:16:44 EST

Have you ever tried to get a job done or a project finished, but you just didn't have the right tools for the job? So with what you had at your disposal you did whatever you had to do to get the job done. It might just serve us well to have that same attitude in a relationship with Christ. Whatever works!

Today

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 13:58:16 EST

A 9/11 tribute... Life is here one moment and then gone the next. It's fleeting and short. It truly is fragile. A person can be vivacious one day and the next day be a lifeless body. Planning for tomorrow is good, but right now we only have today.

Busted

Sun, 04 Sep 2011 22:19:37 EST

Just when you thought you got away with it... Busted!! You were caught red handed. Has that ever happened to you? Sure it has. Every person has been caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing. What if getting busted though wasn't such a bad thing?

Remodel

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 22:35:00 EST

It's nice to take something that has a lot of years, miles, rust, and grime and restore it back to it's natural state. Then it's as good as new. That's exactly what happened to you when you gave your life to Jesus. Sometimes though it seems like we're the same old person we've always been. Let the transformation begin!

Calling The Shots

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:05:44 EST

What usually happens when our desire for something becomes very strong? We act on it right?! That's not always a good thing considering that every desire isn't necessarily a good one. Desire + action = result. How do you make sure you achieve your desired result every time? It all depends on who's calling the shots.

Spitting Image

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:57:35 EST

Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone else? While that may be true, really you are the spitting image of your Creator. Did you know that God made you and every other human being to look and be like Him. Sometimes though, we forget who we are and settle for something less. He's made you better than that.

Risk Ahead

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:19:32 EST

Playing in the mud can be fun, but it also gets you messy, dirty, and stinky. Many things in life can seem like fun at the start, but then you soon realize it's making a mess of your life. Maybe you feel like your life stinks, but you don't know where to even begin to turn it around. It's starts with you getting down and dirty, being real about what's really going on.

Misunderstood

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 19:23:15 EST

Have you ever been misunderstood? You tried sharing helpful advice or answering a friend's question only to be shut down because they misunderstood what you were saying. It's almost like while you spoke English to them, it didn't come across as English to their ears. Sometimes we misunderstand what God says to us.

Does it seem to you like everyone around you is doing some incredible stuff, but your life just seems ordinary, regular, or average? Maybe you even look at those people and wish you could do what they're doing, but you don't see yourself ever being able to accomplish or achieve what they're doing. Why not? Why can't you do the incredible and the extraordinary? It only takes a moment to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
