Jesus didn’t command us to pursue comfort. Like the early disciples, you will risk your safety, finances, reputation, and more if you choose to give your life to Christ. I can’t tell you it will be comfortable, but I can promise you it’s worth it! 7-13-18

We judge the goodness of God based off of standards we have made up ourselves. When we only see things from our point of view, we limit God’s abilities. Jesus is still the Messiah, even if He isn’t the kind you expected. 4-20-18

If you knew something that could save someone’s life, would you tell them? In a matter of life or death, could you speak up?

Have you ever felt like you were outnumbered, outgunned, and defenseless? Find hope in knowing you don’t have to face your enemies alone.

When Biblical principles don’t match up to our cultural or political beliefs, how do we determine which to lean into? Are we still His followers when His worldview conflicts with ours?
