In this episode, we learn how to build a church on hope the way Jesus did—by cultivating purpose, humility, endurance, impact, and inspiration.
If we don't have a biblical view of Jesus, we can become consumed with our personal preferences and traditions, and resistant to change.
The morning is a precious time to connect with God.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
It helps to remember an important quality of Jesus — that he is always with us.
