All In

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

One of the most difficult struggles as a believer is to give yourself over to God’s will 100%. We are surrounded by the things of this world telling us that we must indulge in order for us to truly enjoy living. Much like Jesus was tempted by Satan in the desert, we have to consistently battle with our sin nature so that we don’t turn our backs on God. How do we do that? Jesus said that he has come so that we may have life and have it to the fullest. Are we going to lay down our struggles, our past, our shortcomings—and trust God with everything we got? Are we all in?

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

During the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us all how to pray by using the Lord’s Prayer. Prayer is the foundation of our spiritual lives. But many of us struggle with prayer. We don’t make time for it, we aren’t sure the proper way to pray, or think that we have to say the right words and have the right posture to pray. We forget that God just wants us to be in dialogue with him, to have a conversation.

The Dog Days Of Summer

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

We have all been there. The weather gets warmer, school comes to a close, vacations get planned, and church takes a back seat. It is easy for us to coast through the summer and ignore our relationship with God. We convince ourselves that we will pick up where we left off when summer comes to a close. This can be detrimental to our spiritual lives. How can we leave our summer break with a stronger relationship with God than we had before the break started?

Scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31
