I Want Names: REACH out to Someone
Reaching out to others around us doesn't have to be something only extroverts do. All of us as Christians can use Andrew as an example, a Biblical introvert who was the disciple that was most known for bringing people to Jesus. Time and time again, Andrew reached out and shared the salvation of Jesus Christ with everyone who approached him.

I Want Names: PRAY for Someone
Names are important, in many cases it's the first distinguishment of our identity and the last thing people remember about us. Prayer is important too. Prayer communicates our dependence on God, our comprehension that we are desperate for Gods presence and help. As we live in our neighborhoods and towns, we often assume that we know those around us, but in reality we don't know what's going on under the surface, what that neighbor really is going through and needs prayers for. Who are you praying for in your neighborhoods? I Want Names.

A Mother's Legacy
While Moses is mentioned in the Bible more than 800 times, his mother, Jochebed, is mentioned by name only twice. On this Mother's Day, it's important to remember that moms that are Positive Encouragers, Intentional Disciplers and Faithful Followers are the reason why special children develop into remarkable adults.

Your Most Unforgettable Derby
Baptism signifies a whole new life for Christian believers. This rebirth is not because of anything that we do, or anything supernatural in water, but because in choosing to turn our lives over to Christ and be baptized, we are identifying with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. On May 5, 2013 (Derby Day), 475 people chose to answer the call and start this whole new life.

Jonah: Fueled by Anger
Psalm 103:8 says The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. We love that verse when it applies to us but not our enemies. Jonah was no different. When the people of Ninevah repented and God spared them, rather than rejoicing in the grace of God, Jonah was anger, bitter and pouted to God.

Jonah: Motivated by Pride
Many of us expect God to say stop: Stop doing this, stop doing that, just stop. But if you look through scripture often instead of saying "Stop", God often says "Go". He told Jonah to go and he did, only in the opposite direction. As Christians we all face the question, "When God says 'Go', what do you do?" More importantly, "Which way do you go, as directed or in the opposite direction"?

Jonah: Overwhelmed by Guilt
Guilt for past mistakes often eats away at us, bringing shame to hide what we've done and fear of judgement. But with God, that's not the case. God wants to offer grace for our mistakes and take away the shame of guilt. When Jonah knew that he was the cause of the storm, out of guilt he asked to be thrown into the sea. But God didn't punish Jonah for his actions and just let him die there; instead He rescued Jonah, creating a teaching opportunity to extend grace and give Jonah a chance to run back into God's arms.

Jonah: Driven by Fear
In the Old Testament, we see Jonah being told by God to go to a city called Ninevah, a place where Jews were brutally slaughtered. Fearing that fate will come to Jonah, he instead tries to run from God, fleeing by boat to the city of Tarshish. But as many of us find out the hard way, you cant run from God.

Loving the Unlovely: The Unworthy
Often times people get caught up in the false gospel that there are those that are worthy and those that are unworthy of heaven. But the truth is, none of us are really worthy of such an incredible gift from God and it's only through Jesus' sacrifice that we are extended the grace of eternal life. On the cross Jesus showed us first-hand what grace really looks like, praying to God for the souls of the soldiers that beat him, the criminals hanging next to him, and even those that persecuted him.

Loving the Unlovely: The Uncertain
Even the most devout follower of Jesus can sometimes have doubts. John the Baptist, Jesus' own cousin and a dedicated proclaimer of him as the Messiah, found himself succumbing to doubt as he rotted away in prison. It was finally through his hope and faith in Christ that John realized that faith is believing the unknown.

Loving the Unlovely: The Unnoticed
Often times in our day-to-day lives we try to avoid unlovely people or awkward situations. But as Christians we are called to live as Jesus lived and Jesus, above all else, loved everyone. He didnt dismiss the unlovely, or avoid them, ignore them, or treat them any differently than those society embraced. Jesus simply loved the unlovely.

Spoiler Alert: Is Hell For Real?
Spoiler Alert: Hell is For Real, and it is scary. Many people struggle with the concept of hell and want to think that it's not real, or that there's no way that a loving God would ever send people to be punished. But the Bible tells us the truth - God doesn't threaten us with hell, He is warning us. He is warning us that if we are not with Him, then we must spend eternity without Him. And without God's presence there can be no love, no light, no relationships and no bliss. There can only be the anguish of hell.

Live With It: SACRIFICE
Sacrifice doesnt seem like the most exciting topic. For many of us, one of our main goals in life if often to avoid sacrifice at any cost. It's painful. Uncomfortable. Difficult. Scary. But the Bible describes sacrifice as different than just something that we have to do every now and then. In the Bible, sacrifice is a lifestyle - an expectation, an expression of the love we have for our Heavenly Father.

Live With It: GENEROSITY
The Bible talks a great deal about givingand just like every spiritual discipline, while some may have more of a natural propensity toward generosity, we all can improve in this area. Often times we think of giving as just a monetary transaction, but Jesus taught us that giving isn't just about money, it's also about serving, helping, supporting, and loving.

Live With It: VALUE
We live in a time when value is under attack. With school shootings getting more and more frequent and the number of abortions since Roe vs. Wade becoming so massive it's hard to wrap your head around it, value seems to be getting lost in the shuffle. But in Philippians, Paul reminds us that God wants us to appreciate value - value for the unborn, value for the present life, and value for the eternal life.

Simeon's Song - A Song of Joy
For many of us Christmas is a season of anticipation: waiting for time with family, or time off from work, or that gift weve been really wanting. Simeons song starts as a song of anticipation, waiting for a promise from God to be fulfilled and for him to lay eyes upon God in the flesh, the Messiah Baby Jesus. Once Simeon sees Jesus in the courtyard, his anticipation quickly turns to Joy.

While pain, persecution and ultimately death met Paul on his trips, he always held true to his faith in salvation through Jesus Christ.

Daniel in Exile
There is a God, and you aren't him. That statement seems pretty obvious on the surface, but in reality many of us live the opposite of that phrase. We are too worried about ourselves, "Am I achieving happiness?", "Can I have a better paying job?", "When will I find a spouse?". King Nebuchadnezzar was a great example of a human that fell victim to the "I" mentality. It wasn't until he lost everything that he realized that God is the only thing that truly matters.

The Beginning of the End
There is no magical, super secret code to getting God to bless our lives in a flash, but there is guidance passed down through the Bible as to what we can do to follow God's wishes. Purity and Commitment are two pillars of this model. In the Old Testament, King Hezekiah serves as an example of how following this guidance God will bless your life. King Hezekiah led the Southern Kingdom against the Assyrian army and it was through his true faith that if God is with them, who can be against them, that his people persevered.

God's Messengers
Our world is full of warning signs - "Caution", "Don't Touch", "Danger" and idols - TV, cell phone, sports teams. Warnings and idols are not something new, they date all the way back to the Old Testament. Nowadays many of us dismiss modern distractions as not being the same as the idols from the Old Testament, but in truth they are much the same. God used many prophets, or messengers, through history to warn his followers of idolatry and falling prey to sin, starting with Moses and the commandment of "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".

Strong Christian marriages have Christ-centered relationships that are grounded by individual relationships with the Lord.

The King That Had It All
King Solomon had almost everything: wealth, fame, wisdom, love, women; you name it, he had it. Unfortunately no matter how hard he tried to rely on these things to make him happy in life he never achieved that because through all of his actions he didn't trust God's commands, rather than his own wants and desires.

Children that are Respectful
Parents have many opportunities throughout the day to teach their children proper respect not just for each other and adults, but for the Lord as well.

Discipline that is Consistent
Many parents have difficulty when it comes to disciplining their children. It's hard to know when to stand firm and when to back off, if it's appropriate to discipline right when an infraction occurs or wait until a later time, and how much is too much? Parents often declare that there isn't a manual that teaches you this part of parenting, but there is -- the bible. Disciplining based on biblical teaching is the true way that God has laid out for parents to raise their children to be steadfast followers of Christ.

From Shepherd to King
When God anointed a new king for Israel He did not pick the strongest of the lot, the best looking, or the most well groomed - instead He chose David, the runt of his family that was a shepherd in the fields. David was chosen not for his physical prowess, but for his spiritual faithfulness. David didn't put God in a box and view God as being limited, David knew that God is as big as He wants to be and with His power you can do anything - even slay a giant named Goliath.

The Easter season reminds us of the greatest gift God bestowed upon mankind, the hope for everlasting life through Christ.

Promises are hard to keep, and no matter how much we want to live up to what weve promised, at times we all fall down.

Faith is obeying God when you don't know where you're going, even when the story doesn't seem to make much sense. When God built His nation he chose an unlikely cast of characters, starting with an infertile, elderly couple named Abraham and Sarah, yet He asked them to just have faith. Abraham exhibited his unwaivering faith in God, even when asked to sacrifice his only son. It is through Abraham's devotion that we learn what true faith in the Lord really is.
