    Christianity is about a personal relationship with God. It's about a reconciliation between one person, you, and God, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    Christianity is about a personal relationship with God. It's about a reconciliation between one person, you, and God, through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It's like a romance, or a close friendship, or a father-son/father-daughter relationship. It's not about ritual or ...read more

    We are called to live intentionally, to desire to know who loved us most. This means we live fully for Him, and He gives us a model (and a promise) to follow. It’s not to exalt another human – but to live for God because of His promises! Abram shows us how and why this is important.

    As we begin our new series on Unprecedented Faith, I believe it’s wise to lay the foundation for creating an environment where our faith can grow and mature as we pursue God's promises. This faith environment is revealed in Joshua’s life and his parting words to the next generation.
