How do we build an honest faith into an honest life? We go to church, have faith, read the Bible, and try to make good choices that align with all of it - yet, bad things still happen. We are human. Bad things will still happen. The truth is honest faith in God won’t keep bad things from happening, but it means we will not suffer alone. You can ask yourself three questions: 1. Is there room for pain, hardship, and struggle in my fa...
God is partnering with all of us to keep sharing our mission of acceptance, love, and freedom in Jesus. You make a difference. Whether you directly participated in the event or helped support Love Our City financially, we celebrated what our partnership organizations do in Tucson daily to love people in our surrounding community and how that love continues to cascade outward.
In the first week of this series, we looked at an example of a difference-maker in the story of Ruth. Then last week we realized through the story of David that despite any obstacle, God can use us as a difference-maker. This week we learned that there might be moments where we are prepared to make a difference, we have our expectations all set, and then God turns the situation to another way. This can cause tension in us. In looki...
We can often struggle with the idea that we’re all difference-makers. If we look at the life of David who was one of the most revered kings in the Bible we see that from when he was first anointed to be the future king to when he became king - 15 years passed. This teaches us that it sometimes takes a while to be the difference maker we want to become. However, God can use us. He is with us and for us and we can love people well wh...
If you reflect on your life, who was a difference maker for you? Who was the person who you’ve been positively influenced by? Throughout scripture, there are difference-makers. People that God has used for His purpose in amazing ways. In this series, we’ll learn more about what it is to be a difference maker. This first week we looked at Ruth and dived into why Ruth was an influential person and made a significant difference in the...
Our emotions are an indication of what’s going on in our hearts. We often experience strong emotions before fully understanding what’s happening. This can have more of an effect than we realize. In the book of Jonah, we learned that Jonah kept running from the emotions he needed to address. He did not address the source of the smoke. Smoke is an indicator of something deeper happening. How can we acknowledge what is going on in our...
Sometimes we get on the ride of the shame rollercoaster. There is always an opportunity to return to the story of Christ in us. That is your story and who you are. Your identity, worth, and value are anchored in Christ, leaving no space for shame. Christ canceled any shame you are trying to carry. You are ultimately meant to be free and alive in Jesus. Paul encourages the church in Colossians 2 that no one passes judgment on anyone...
In this series, we’re exploring all the different moments that come our way and how we can approach them differently so we don’t get caught up in a ride that we don’t want to be on. This week we dove into Titus 3 and we asked, “What if Christ is the answer that makes the difference in our lives so we don’t engage situations in the same way?” If Christ is in us, with us, and works through us - shouldn’t that make a difference in our...
Wouldn’t you love to have a year where you were connected to where God is leading you then with people who are on a ride you don’t want to get on? Proverbs gives us a lot of insight on how we can pursue that. If we’re aware of different mindsets that people are coming from we can have a new level of awareness and change how we interact with them, which helps us with all the types of relationships we experience.
