Imagine a home filled with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. One where we bear with each other and forgive one another. A place that is defined by love that brings unity. A home full of peace, thankfulness, encouragement, and singing praises to God. It sounds heavenly and it is what God desires for all families.

God has ordained sowing and reaping. The Bible says that if we sow to please the flesh, from the flesh we will reap destruction. If we sow to please the Spirit, from the Spirit we will reap eternal life. So, what are you sowing in your life?

The disciples told Thomas that Jesus had risen but he wouldn't believe it until he saw it for himself. Jesus appeared to Thomas and told him to stop doubting and believe. It is a message we all need to hear. What areas of your life are your struggling to believe God and live by His Word?

We understand the responsibility to raise kids prepared with the life skills they will need to succeed as adults. We want them equipped for everything from how to wash laundry to how to file taxes. But what if one needed skill stands out as more important than all the rest?

It's time to look at the state of the family, specifically yours. God created marriage and the family and gives clear directions in the Bible for what they should be. So how is your family doing?

Parenting is a hard. What am I doing wrong? How do I turn things around? The Bible has the answers and encouragement we need to faithfully raise these little humans.

As Christians, we are to go and make disciples. The harvest is plentiful and the workers few. Let's obey God by praying for opportunities, going where it is uncomfortable, while remembering the blessing of doing what we were made to do.   

We live in a culture that says that truth is found within ourselves and we should live out that truth. It is a lie. There is one God and He is the only source of truth, and it is in Him that we will find what we are truly searching for. 

In a world full of anger, malice, slander, jealousy, filthy language, being hated and hating one another, biting and devouring each other, God calls us to be devoted to one another in love.

We are all influenced. Do the biggest influencers in your life drive you closer to Jesus or pull you further from him?

What God desires for us as his disciples is so much more than we often realize. Being brought to faith means a new mind, new desires, and a new identity - all tied to oneness with Christ.
