Change is attainable. Truth is confrontational as it exposes our underlying motives. One look from Jesus with love and compassion can lead us to repentance and change. Some walk towards Jesus and others walk away sad and sorrowful. Change for us is beyond facing the challenging truth. Mark 10:17-31

Jesus meets our physical needs and leads us to recognize our spiritual need of Him.
Jesus fed more than 5k with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. He was not only interested in providing a miracle, but through the leftover fragments he was inviting everyone who believes into eternal life and personal relationship with him.
Jesus is the bread of life that provides access into the Kingdom of God. John 6:4-14

We frequently face the ongoing war in our minds. We battle with trying to discern who is speaking and at what time. Is it the voice of deception or the voice of direction? We ask ourselves, is it God?, is it me?, or is it the enemy? As we grow in our walk with God we learn to decipher and discern A Familiar Voice of Truth. John 20:11-18

We often tend to hide behind the nuances of what we do. Although, taking action is part of our faith God is honored by obedience before sacrifices.
We are called to bear fruit and not the false appearance of it. We are called to be connected to Jesus and not only look like we are. We will be known by the fruit we produce in our life or the fig leaves we hide behind.
Mathew 21:18-22

With the death and resurrection of Jesus, he took on all of the pain, suffering, shame of our sins to the cross. He is now sitting in the place of full authority over all creation. He also has given us access to boldly approach the thrown. Through God's grace, mercy and sacrifice of Jesus, He has made us righteous and called us to be ambassadors through Christ.
2Samuel 19:7-8

Do you always recognize when God is at work in your life? God has given us access to him through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, we don't always perceive when He's working or speaking. Once you establish a consistent relationship with God you get to be familiar with the wounds of the very hands that canceled the debt of sin on the cross.
John 20:24-31

We are drawn to people, experiences and lifestyle choices because they seem familiarity. As we become too familiar we can also lose a sense of value due to proximity. Is it possible to become too complacent with God because of His goodness? God's blessings can become so familiar that we loose the reverence and awe for the Lord. In Pt.1 we learn how to fight against becoming complacent Christians.
Luke 4:16-30

We often tend to drive on the fast lane of our emotions, reactions and thoughts. Not all of our decisions and actions honor God. Through the common practice of fasting, it aligns our heart with God and His will. It submits ourselves before God, sets us apart from sin and sets us up as part of God's plan.
Proverbs 6:16-19

God has called us to be set apart as ambassadors of the Kingdom. Set apart enough to be close to God and yet close enough to influence others like Jesus. Being set apart has the power to produce direction, ability to receive, focus and it sanctifies our life.

2026 We're starting off the year right! New year, fresh slate. Sometimes to experience God's will in our life we have to reset with intention. As we pray for God's will in us and through us we set ourselves apart to refocus and seek the divine. We pray for a fresh anointing and a move of God, as we begin making room for more.
Luke 2:1-7

The debt, shame and guilt that covered humanity was larger than life, but redemption was on its way. A King was born to bring salvation to the world. He was born of a virgin just as He spoke about through the prophets. The Word became flesh and took on the punishment for all humanity. He calls us from behind the fig leaves and through His sacrifice we are now covered with a coat.

We are called to be disciples of Jesus representing the kingdom of heaven and discipleship comes at a cost. Being a disciple is an invitation while carrying the cross is an instruction. Are you willing to consider the cost to follow Jesus?

What if the only thing that is keeping you stuck is how easy it is to fall back on plan B? What if Burning The Boats is the only way to set yourself free or put yourself into motion? Having no alternative is the best option because victory is a non-negotiable. It's all-in, Do or Die, Boom or Bust. The best way to real growth is by Burning The Boats. (1Kings 19:19-21)

At times in our life we can get comfortable in the safe zone. We keep risks low and remain unchallenged. Truth is, the growth happens in the deep-end and we don't have to do it alone. When Jesus steps into the boat we are challenged to go into the deep-end and into uncharted waters. He invites us to walk with him as we go "Against All Odds."

At times in our life we identify with things that we would like to redo. We allow our identity to be wrapped around our past mistakes, failures or times we missed the mark. Jesus wipes the slate clean and identifies us as righteous by His sacrifice on the cross, by His Grace and Mercy. We are who God says we are.

It's easy to be thankful for all the good things that happen and go our way in life. It's easy to be thankful when things are going great. It is another level of spiritual maturity when we can thank God when He says "No, not yet", or for the unanswered prayer. Can we thank God for ALL things?

Love is often misunderstood creating misconceptions due to our negative experiences. We must face the difficult questions such as, can I be loved? How do I prove I'm worthy? How do I receive love and how do I love others? We find the answers as we Enter His Gates and find the missing link.

Happiness has always been a constant pursuit and highly sought out for. Unfortunately the target is always moving. When Jesus is the source we can experience happiness and the inexpressible joy of the Lord. Ending the pursuit of happiness is the beginning of the relationship with the Lord.

Should good things only happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people? In "Bend But Don't Break" we look at how Jesus responds to the belief that bad things happen to only those who miss the mark and how misleading it is along with the implications.
We learn from Jesus' interaction with the woman suffering from the spirit of infirmity mentioned in Luke 13:10-17.

As Christians we are not called to settle for mediocrity but to excel and go above and beyond. Jesus gave us the example of how and why we should go the extra mile. The goal is to live our life seeking and reflecting an excellent spirit and God's favor over us. (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
