Secure Your Mask 35:35

1M ago35:35

35:35

The Great Commandment calls us to love God and love others, but Jesus adds a crucial modifier: “as you love yourself,” revealing that we can’t truly love others until we first see and love ourselves as God does.

You can say all the right things, do amazing stuff, and even show off your faith—but if love isn’t behind it, it’s just noise. Let's dive into what 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 teaches us about the power of real love, and why it’s the one thing that gives everything else meaning.

33:04

When is enough, enough? The illusion of enough is one that so many of us chase after. When I get enough time, enough money, enough confidence, then I’ll be good. What if the truth is, you will never have enough to feel like you’ve arrived. Jesus is our only source of enough.

Blinded By Perfection 36:05

2M ago36:05

36:05

Perfection seems like an amazing thing. It even feels like the thing we should strive for as believers in Jesus. What happens though, when life doesn’t feel perfect?

Out of Control 35:46

3M ago35:46

35:46

We’re all tempted at some point or another. We’re tempted to try to control a situation or the people around us. While it can be tempting, it’s never beneficial. What are the risks when we try to control our lives? What can we do instead? We have to know, it’s out of our control.

The Ramifications of the Test 30:01

3M ago30:01

30:01

None of us like tests. We didn’t like them in school, and the tests we face as adults in life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and even cruel. What if, though, the tests of our faith weren’t God being cruel at all, but actually God showing his goodness and giving us something we can’t get any other way? Because that’s exactly what they are.…

When life feels wrecked, if we’re honest, we have a lot of questions for God. We wonder why it happened and what he’s doing as we’re going through it.

Pieces of Peace 31:37

Do You Hear What I Hear? 36:31

8M ago36:31

36:31

We’ve all been there. We look at our lives and don’t see what God’s doing. We’re asking him for answers but it doesn’t seem like he’s speaking.
