We can all look to the Scriptures to learn how to build a relationship with God, the ultimate Father.
We are not meant to carry our fears, guilt, insecurities, or anxieties alone.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.
Jesus can teach us how to break free from a frustrating, unsatisfying, and rule-dominated experience of Christianity to find a real relationship with God.
What the Parable of the Great Banquet teaches us about God’s invitation is to be part of his Kingdom.
When we get “used” to being a Christian and know what the Bible says, we end up reading and analyzing the Scriptures without seeing God for who he is. The power and hope the scriptures talk about only comes with a real and engaging relationship with God.
