What attitudes of heart are conducive to experiencing more of God’s grace and participating in what he is doing. The Beatitudes provide insight for participating in the kingdom of God because this is the ...read more

    These four small attitudes will do as we begin to think about how to apply the Truth of what Jesus shares with us in Luke 12 and as we apply verse 31. Seeking His Kingdom should be first for us. Jesus should be our focus. Our relationship with God should be our focus.

    God’s grace meets us in our brokenness, offering forgiveness and restoration through Christ, no matter how far we’ve fallen or how flawed we feel.

    Some of us walked in today carrying a quiet ache. Maybe it’s a memory that won’t loosen its grip. Maybe it’s a habit that keeps hollering our name. Maybe it’s the nagging sense that we should be further along than we are. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Not a museum for the perfect, ...read more
