What am I giving God?
Joseph Taylor Joseph Taylor

What am I giving God?

Every day we offer God something.

Ask yourself, “Am I serving God the leftovers, instead of making Him a priority?” Every day we have an opportunity to serve God through our time, talents, resources, and energy. Our desire to offer God our best starts with our hearts—what we offer God is a reflection of our heart. So what are you offering God? Would He be pleased, or would He be disgusted?

Let’s look at the text in Malachi 1:6-2:9 and see if the people in Malachi’s day were practicing heartfelt adoration or thought of honoring God as a burdensome job.

God Loves You
Joseph Taylor Joseph Taylor

God Loves You

People in Malachi’s day questioned God’s love for them. We’re guilty of doing the same today, aren’t we? When life doesn’t go how we want… When we wonder why we’re going through certain situations… When are prayers seemingly go unanswered… We question—we doubt—God loves us. In the same way God revealed his love to Israel through his actions, he reveals Himself in our day. See and speak about God’s love in your life today!

Which Mountain

Hebrews 12: Should We Shrink Back or Have Faith?

Faith

Faith

Throughout the bible, ordinary people have done extraordinary things because of their faith in God. In today’s world, it’s easy to trust everything else, except God, because of our lack of faith. We need to let the world see an invisible God through our visible actions. There’s no cheap grace. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and can’t see.

Let Us

Let Us

Most things in our society direct our gaze inward, focusing on the individual as the center of the universe. Christianity is different; our focus is on Jesus.

Jesus is our mediator and great High Priest. Through him we have perfection -- a reaching of maturity -- and makes our relationship with God possible.

Hope

Hope

We're not saved because we get everything right, we're saved because of Jesus. We wait patiently for God to keep His promise and we have hope because Jesus is our High Priest.

Maturity

Maturity

The same way a parent is concerned for their child who might not be growing, getting bigger, gaining strength—we should be concerned when we’re not growing in our relationship with God.

Rest
Erin Murray Erin Murray

Rest

We all at times need some rest. The Bible refers to rest by God at creation, the Sabbath rest in the Old Testament and even in Joshua settling in the promised land is referred to rest. While we might find “rest” now as followers of Jesus, the ultimate “rest” will come when we one day when we live in God’s presence in Heaven.

Unbelief
Erin Murray Erin Murray

Unbelief

Unbelief is not just about not believing, it's about failing to trust. As we follow God, we should follow God together--to the very end--having confidence, protecting our hearts, and encouraging one another so that none of us are hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Hebrews 3:7-19

The Broad vs. Narrow Way

The Broad vs. Narrow Way

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

The House of God
Erin Murray Erin Murray

The House of God

Church is more than a temple; it's the house of God. While Moses sought God's presence in the temple, we come to God through Jesus. Jesus is over God's House. As a body of believers, we are the church, the true house of God.

In-Between
Joseph Taylor Joseph Taylor

In-Between

The Hebrew church was struggling to recognize the power of the resurrection. When we focus on our pain, hurt, tears, and suffering -- the "right now" -- we can sometimes forget it, too. But Jesus changes everything in the in-between.

Drifting
Erin Murray Erin Murray

Drifting

Drifting can be dangerous; it can put us in places we never want to be. We can drift in life and we can drift spiritually. It's a slow process, until one day we wake up and we are far from where we're supposed to be. Have you drifted far from your anchor? Is your anchor gone?

Focus on Jesus
Erin Murray Erin Murray

Focus on Jesus

Hebrews 1—Are we bored of Jesus? Has worship lost its zest? The book of Hebrews was written to a group of Christians who were struggling; they were "Christians who were tired of being Christians." But the problem isn't the church, the problem is us. We need to be reminded of who we are and who we follow. We need to focus on Jesus.

Discovering God’s View

How we view God and his kingdom will often impact how we respond and live. In Acts 10, both Cornelius and Peter had to discover a new view of God in their lives that would shape the way they lived.
