Tripple H: Head, Heart, Hands (Teaching Series)

Jesus is standing on the shore calling Peter and the other disciples to follow him. He says, "Come follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Jesus, in this one phrase, is calling them into stewardship in God’s Kingdom, calling them in head, heart, and hands.

[Sunday] Choose Church - Being Challenge

Choosing church brings consistency into our lives. And the consistency that it brings is the good news of Jesus into your lives. The church is the consistent place where the good news of Jesus is proclaimed.

[Sunday] Seek Solitude - Being Challenge

It seems like the church just wants doers, people who will do things for God, which is good, but we also need to be people who abide with the creator, who sit in sabbath knowing God does enough for us.

[Sunday] Prioritizing Prayer - Being Challenge

Praying to God gives us direction in a confusing world. That means it helps me on the inside. It doesn’t only help internally but also externally because it spills over into this world. And what goes into the world has an amazing chance of changing it.

Finding Grace Within The Walls Of Leagalism

The creativity of God knows no bounds.

He leaned back in his chair, its squeak distracting him from what he wanted to say. He leaned forward, his hands folded on his desk next to his little sign: President So And So. He was that important, I don’t even remember his name.

Gosh this is formal, I thought.

“Well Janell, I called you in here because I’m concerned about what kind of Bible you’re using.”

Oh. Right. This again.

Fresh out of my private Christian high school in the fall of 2001, I willingly and knowingly admitted myself into an Independent……………………………………………………………

[Sunday] Commit to Community - Being Challenge

Remember how he burst into the room for the disciples and opened up the Scriptures, explained it to them, then sent them on their way? As we open up and explain the Scriptures, they help us to realize that everything else in this world falls short of knowing Jesus and being with Him

It's Not Just Me (It's Everybody)

Mercy Is the Only Cure for Being so Lonely

Read the full article at It's Not Just Me (It's Everybody) - Mockingbird (mbird.com)

The car radio can be a dangerous thing. You’ll be running errands or about to pick your children up at school when, all of a sudden, a song takes you by the hand and says, “It’s time for a good cry, don’t you think?” For me, the latest song to do such a thing is the new single from Weyes Blood, “It’s Not Just Me, It’s Everybody.” 

Sitting at this party
Wondering if anyone knows me
Really sees who I am
Oh it’s been so long since I felt really known…………………………………………….

ONE BIG (UNHAPPY) FAMILY?

All the Dysfunction, Few of the Perks

Read whole article here

Let me tell you the one line that will send me screaming from any new church I visit.

It’s not: “Would you like to join the property committee?”

Nor is it: “Our organist Ethel has been with the church for eighty years and she’s still going strong!”

It isn’t even: “We went through a kind of split lately but it’s really OK because those people were saying and doing these things and honestly we’re better off without them.” (Well, I might run from this church, too.)

The one line that raises my hackles and sets me on high alert is to all appearances innocuous, innocent, and charming.

It’s this: “Our church is one big family.”

Noooooooooo!

What’s wrong with this? Let me count the ways………………………..
