The enemy's lies often lead me to believe that if I dwell on every "what if," every potential scenario, and all the things that could go wrong, I will be better prepared when these challenges arise. This tendency has been particularly evident during my wife Olivia's pregnancy. However, I have found support from others when I have struggled to bring…

Holy Living Starts at Home // Jaclyn Fitchett // October 24, 2024 3:48

21d ago3:48

3:48

When Pastor Josh said, "Holy living starts at home," it struck a chord in me. As he mentioned, home is where our guard is let down. As long as no one else sees the chaos, we can hide our weaknesses from the world by downplaying or justifying them. We often walk out of church on Sunday as if God stays at the church—but that is not the case; God know…

When presenting the Gospel to young children, we often use a gift box to signify that God gives us the gift of Jesus. A few weeks ago, one of the four-year-olds turned to his leader and said, “I hate to tell them this, but Jesus is too big to fit in that box!” Often, we place Jesus in a small box in our lives. In the craziness of life, we don’t app…

As you read through the book of Titus and really the entirety of the Bible, you can learn who God is, what He’s like, His attributes, and quite frankly, what He is not like.

Stealing is one of these things we like to adjust in our own eyes how severe the sin is because of the value of what we are stealing or who we are stealing from.
