The church in the New Testament was made strong by the powerful walk with God of each individual Christian.
Returning to God is the only way we can stop living for people, stop being afraid of being different, and rediscover what it means to think differently.
What the Parable of the Great Banquet teaches us about God’s invitation is to be part of his Kingdom.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Though in the moment our difficulties may feel like they are too much we can handle, God uses them as opportunities for us to grow.
When we live in denial of what we are struggling with or having a hard time overcoming, we get stuck, settle, and are never able to do the impossible God is ready to help us achieve.
In our search for identity, purpose and intimacy we have to go to a place some do not want to enter. We have to deal with the deep things in our hearts.
The key to turning our emotion into action is trusting God.
