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.
Understanding why you should build the church God wants and others need.
How can those of us who identify as Christians make church more accessible to those who believe in God?
To change the world, we must change the church. This starts with every Christian deciding to transform personally, beginning with our personal relationship with God.
Many Christians become deceived because our entire experience is lived within the church. God wants us to expand our world to see he has bigger things in store.
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.”
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
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.
When we experience testing, pain and failure in our lives, it is easy to give into fear and doubt. “Flipping the Switch” is about learning to let God use our personal passion, ambition, dreams, pain, and setbacks for his greater purpose of saving lives.
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.
