This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
Jesus had a relationship with God that gave him peace, power, and purpose in a chaotic world.
Everyone can become a spiritual leader, but it begins with the decision to allow God to make you into one.
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.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
We are living in a time of fear-inducing chaos, when darkness is rising. We must embrace our responsibility to God and our neighbors to bring the light.
