Do You Really Know? 19:08

1y ago19:08

19:08

The Bible isn't meant solely for intellectual examination; rather, it serves as a lens through which we see Jesus. Scriptures themselves don't possess life; they direct us to Jesus, who is the source of life. It's not merely about knowing about Jesus; it's about actively seeking and embracing Him.

2+ y ago18:58

18:58

Saul built an altar to the Lord and in the next Chapter he was building an altar to himself. We have to consistently ask ourselves who are we really pointing people to, Self or God? Let us examine when Jesus said many will say they did things for me, but I will say depart from.

Good Boundaries 27:24

2+ y ago27:24

27:24

Personal boundaries help to limit our selfish inclination to control or manipulate others. Likewise, boundaries protect us from those who have no self-control and who wish to control us. A person with clear, healthy boundaries communicates to others what is and is not permissible, saying, in effect, “This is my jurisdiction, and you have no right t…

Kingdom Mindset: It's Not all about You 25:37

2+ y ago25:37

25:37

Many leaders and people within the local church have made it very competitive to the point where you would think God is divided against himself.

Kingdom Mindset: Leadership Ambition 20:01

2+ y ago20:01

20:01

A lot of times ambition can carry negative connotations, but what about when it's submitted to God? Before Paul was converted, he was considered Saul, but his ambition and zeal never faded.

The Power of No. (People Pleasing) 20:04

"I've had to learn how to get comfortable with my own "No" and I think this is why the Power of No was one of my favorite chapters in the book Balance.

In Romans 12:1, Paul says, “I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.” Paul’s admonition to the believers in Rome was to sacrifice themselves to God, not as a sacrifice on the altar, as the Mosaic Law required the sacrifice of animals,…
