    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

    Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. As Christians, we are also reminded of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and are called to live sacrificially in our daily lives.

    Jesus didn't just talk about sacrifice, He lived it. He gave up His life for us. That's the ultimate sacrifice. And because of that, we have the chance to know God and have eternal life. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13) Memorial Day is all ...read more

    When it comes to discipleship we have an overestimation of ourselves and our contribution to the kingdom. Jesus’ discussion with James reminds us that our place in the family of God, even when we make great contributions, is still only a gift of grace.

Jesus particularly wanted to ingrain into the disciples a certain attitude. Perhaps the most significant visual lesson Jesus gave on ...read more
