Looking at Paul's hardships, endurance, and how he poured out about Jesus, we see that he won. He lived significantly. The key to living a significant life is to daily sacrifice and work in tandem with the Spirit, and let Jesus live His life through you.

The church is not a building; it’s a body. You are the church. When we are really operating as the body of Christ, you will be in the Word, doing life with other believers, blessing others, and never forgetting the work of Christ on your behalf.

Hope makes you dangerous because it lets Satan know that you are not giving up and you are not giving in. Putting your hope in Jesus shows that you are pushing through in spite of the darkness and in spite of the circumstances.

Jesus served unconditionally and sacrificially, even washing the feet of one who was about to betray him. Are we being this image of Jesus in our lives to those who are less fortunate? Or are we focusing on "me"?

During difficult seasons, it's hard to find God’s presence and trust His plan, purpose, and to believe in His promises. If you don’t trust that He is who He says and that He will do what He says He will do, it will be difficult to have faith in Him.

What is it that breaks your heart and what are you going to do about it? When you figure out what to say "yes" to, you will then center your life around that and say "no" to everything else.

It's no accident that you live where you live, work where you work, and know who you know. God has put you there for a reason, and He can do extraordinary things with your life.

Its easy to feel good about our level of holiness and purity because we compare ourselves to others instead of to Him. Truthfully, seeing God for who He is and all that He does for us is what will change our lives.

Where we go for comfort reveals where we have put our hope. We look to cheap substitutes to satisfy us, when God has so much more planned for us. In spite of that, He still says, “I still love you and I want you back”.

Imagine you just found out that you have 30 days to live. How would your life change? What would you want your legacy to be? Why not start doing those things now because you never know how long you have.

The story of Saul starts off okay but quickly, he becomes prideful and disobedient. His story reminds us that as followers of Jesus, we are called to live as Jesus lived. That is what a disciple is.

The story of Ruth is really our story. We were lost and undeserving. Chosen and called to become children of God. Redeemed by our Kinsman Redeemer who was willing and able to pay the price to redeem us from sin and death.

Throughout the book of Judges God's people continue to face overwhelming odds and in each case God continues to give them victories in such a way that He is the only one that can receive the glory.

In this chapter the Lord calls Moses up to the top of Mt. Sinai and gives him and the Israelites a list of commandments as well as a new covenant that is formed between the Lord and his people.

God used Moses, a common guy, who couldn’t even speak well to lead His people from slavery to freedom. He is still doing that today. He wants to use you to bring the gospel of freedom to people who are slaves to sin.

Now the flood is over and the population is expanding, God does not choose to rebuild a nation, rather He chooses to build a nation from scratch. He chose to begin with a old couple who were physically unable to have children.
