Many of us struggle with a lack of direction and meaning in our lives, feeling as thoug... Read More

on July 19th, 2024
"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." - John 15:11 When we think about the phrase "Jesus take the wheel," it brings to mind the idea of surrendering control and letting Jesus guide our lives. This surrender is not just about finding peace; it’s also about discovering the immense joy that comes from trusting God in every aspect of our lives. In Joh... Read More

Living a Spirit-Led Life
on July 17th, 2024
"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." - Galatians 5:16 In 2005, Carrie Underwood recorded the hit song "Jesus Take the Wheel," a powerful anthem about surrender and faith. The song tells the story of a mother driving home on a snowy Christmas Eve, overwhelmed by the difficulties of her year. Distracted and driving too fast, she loses control of her ca... Read More

Transforming the Heart
on July 16th, 2024
"And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." —Ezekiel 36:26 In our walk with Christ, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that simply doing better—changing our outward behaviors—is the ultimate goal. However, true transformation starts within our hearts and radiates outward.... Read More

Discover the Underlying Need
on July 15th, 2024
"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these." —Galatians 5:19-21 In our journey of faith, we often focus on modifying our behaviors, thinking that by stopping certain actions, we are healing. But this is like putting... Read More

Treat the Root, Not Just the Fruit
on July 14th, 2024
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." —Ephesians 2:8 When studying religious traditions, it’s easy to focus on rules and rituals as the pathway to being close with God. In Paul’s time, people believed that adhering to 613 commandments meant they were close to God. Similarly, today many think that praying a certain way, memorizing... Read More

Walking in the Spirit
on July 13th, 2024
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 To truly understand what it means to walk in the Spirit, we need to first define some key terms.

on July 11th, 2024
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6 California is known for its high-speed car chases. Whenever they are on the news, they garner nationwide attention. Whether in movies or on television, these chases captivate us, pulling us to the edge of our seats as we watch a re... Read More

It Hurt Me, but it Helped Me
on July 10th, 2024
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6 We’ve spent a lot of time discussing those who betray you. Now I want you to understand something: Don’t worry about the betrayer acting like they’re better off without you. Most of that is fake anyway, but even if they are, good; that’s their jou...

Shift Your Focus
on July 9th, 2024
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."- Genesis 50:20 I want you to understand something today: if you never heal from what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who never cut you. Jesus understood that His assignment wasn’t to bleed "on" people but to bleed "for" them. For Jesus, this shift came in the form of asking no... Read More

Try Not to Take It Personal
on July 8th, 2024
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."- Colossians 3:13 Healing after being hurt is tough because our natural inclination is to take it personally. This is where all those “how could they do this” and “how could they hurt me like that” thoughts come from. But by stepping back and gaining some perspective, we ... Read More

Seeing Beyond the Betrayal
on July 7th, 2024
"Jesus replied, 'Do what you came for, friend.' Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested him." - Matthew 26:50 We’ve established that life is not perfect, and neither are people. This brings us to a profound example from Scripture that illustrates how Jesus handled betrayal. When Judas approached Jesus in Matthew 26:50, accompanied by an angry mob with swords and clubs, Jesus did... Read More

People Are Not Perfect Either
on July 6th, 2024
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."- Matthew 7:1-2 Building on the idea that life is not perfect, it’s crucial to remember that people are not perfect either. Look no further than Judas to see how true that statement is. We often think of him as a wicked and evil man. Think... Read More

Life is Not Perfect
on July 5th, 2024
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9 Life is not perfect. We see this when we look at one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas. The reason many people get thrown off by the selection of Judas is because they think that a perfect, all-knowing God ought to be able to create a perfect situation to fulfill His perfect plan. They struggle to understa... Read More

Healing from Betrayal
on July 4th, 2024
"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’"- 1 Corinthians 11:23-24 At the Last Supper, Jesus sat with His disciples, sharing a meal, and knowing full well that one of them, Judas, would soon betray Him. ...

The Winding Path
on July 3rd, 2024
"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." - Proverbs 16:9 Our journey with God is not always linear. It’s easy to think that once we start following Christ, everything will move smoothly from bad to good on a straight path. But in reality, our walk with God often looks more like a winding road with unexpected turns, detours, and sometimes even setbacks. Take the life... Read More
