God changes us from the inside out, and we live the rest of our lives knowing we are here for a reason.
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.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
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.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
God loves us and he guides us through discipline and training, just like a father who cares deeply for his children. How and where is God guiding your life?
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.
