The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
Even if we haven't arrived yet, we believe we can get there because Jesus believes in us.
In this episode, we learn how to build a church on hope the way Jesus did—by cultivating purpose, humility, endurance, impact, and inspiration.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
The key to turning our emotion into action is trusting God.
Conquer is a word descriptive of but rarely used to define Jesus. It means “to defeat an enemy, or take control or possession of a foreign land.” In this sense, Jesus comes as the light to conquer a world filled with darkness.
