The Journey

The cultural norm used to be a man and a woman getting married, having a family and living happily ever after. That standard is long gone.

The fight is on for biblical marriage, but citing statistics is not enough. We need to understand what the Bible has to say. Once these truths are settled in our hearts and minds we will have the confidence to pass them to our children and grandchildren.

In a day of doubts and fears, of challenges and opportunities, you need the assurance of God’s power and guidance. The Children of Israel faced just such days as they entered the Promised Land. How they won the day with God’s direction and strength is told in the Book of Joshua.

In preparation for Easter, we will take a fresh look at Jesus…in real time. We will find that he is not safe. But he is good. He’s the King.

God is sovereign and we have to own our responsibility. God places us in strategic places at strategic times. He places us in families, relationships, schools, jobs, neighborhoods—all for a purpose.

The purpose of prayer is not to impress people, but to communicate with God. To remedy the temptation to impress, Jesus advised a prayer of solitude. And even when our prayer must be public, our heart should be locked in a one-on-one with God.

Sometimes fear causes us to freeze and never do that thing that God is calling us to do. It holds us back from being what God wants us to be and doing what he wants us to do.

The Psalms are real and raw. The writers hold nothing back. There are times of great praise and thanksgiving when the writers seem unable to contain their worship. There are also times of questioning when the pain is unbearable. Through the Psalms our fears, anxieties, and disappointments are countered by God’s strength, peace, and encouragement.

Today our families, the church and the world need Godly men more than ever.  Men who will stand for truth and righteousness.  Strong and courageous men who will live for Christ no matter the cost. But what does that kind of man look like?  How does he behave in a dangerous and darkening age? 

Everywhere we look, we see evidence of how sex-saturated our society has become. Our culture doesn’t hesitate to put sexuality and sexual topics in front of us. But what about the church? Far too often, the church remains uncomfortably silent about sexuality. We need to know what God has to say about sex and how we can apply those truths to our lives.
