The resurrection brings Life, Completeness and Hope. | Luke 24:1-12

God is always working around us and He wants us to join in on what He is doing. | Exodus 2:11-3:4

God's revelation always outweighs our expectations. We expect our savior to march into our lives to rescue us from the authorities whom we dislike. However, this is not the priority of the Savior; instead, Jesus' priority is in saving us from our sins and brokenness. | Luke 19:28-40

The Old is us trying to sew our own fig leaves and trying to cover ourselves with works. Through the cross, the new is being able to put on Christ and having victory over flesh. | Genesis 3:6-7; 21 and Romans 13:8-14

A hindrance to faith forward is being stuck and not knowing what to do. We need the power of God and we need to cooperate with him in developing our faith. | 2 Kings 4:1-7

There are numerous obstacles that hinder our faith in the Lord. Today, we examine how the lies that have been spoken over us and self deception need to be overcome. Let us take seriously how God defines us in His perspective. | Galatians 4:1-7

Our God reminds us of His love through the ten commandments. We need to face our idols that breaks the heart of God. | Deuteronomy 5:1-10

Many Christians fail to grow in their faith because they approach faith passively. The fact that faith is a gift does not mean cultivating it after it is received does not require effort. Biblically, for a Christian to grow in his/her faith, they must persevere in the practice of it. | Hebrews 12:1-3

2 Samuel 12:13-25

In the journey to strengthen our faith, there are numerous obstacles that hinder us. Although we don't take complaining as a serious matter, it can be a contagious disease that hinders our faith. In today's passage, we learn about how God thinks of complaining hearts. | Numbers 11:1-24

Isaiah 58:1-12

When we live by faith, we live are living on the edge of life where the unknown meets the potential of God. It is there that the power of faith and the power of God are revealed. | Acts 1:3-4, 12-14; 2:1-13

We are on a journey to discover Faith. God teaches us many different dimensions of Faith from this passage. | Matthew 14:22-33

Over and over again, when we face challenges that are too much for us, we choose to live by sight, not by faith. Living by faith especially seems difficult when we are called to the unknown. However, when we move with God, His faithfulness helps us to take some bold steps. | Joshua 3:7-17

Romans 8:26-31

Christmas can actually be a scary story for some people; however, the incarnation ultimately reminds us that we are not stuck in our situations but we are planted with a purpose. Ultimately, incarnation is a story of hope. | Luke 1:26-38

In trying circumstances, when our faith is shaken, remember that God is trustworthy because of Immanuel (God is with us). When the kingdom looks shaky, remember the unshakeable promises of the unchangeable king. The ultimate proof that God is trustworthy is that he sent his Son. God is with us. | Isaiah 7:1-17; Matthew 1:18-25

In Jesus we find the DNA of truth, and it's not what you expect. Jesus, in fact, explodes our understanding of reality so much so that it upends all of our categories. The truth Jesus embodies paints for us a God and a reality that boggles the mind yet -- somehow -- profoundly satisfies the deepest longings of our hearts. Christmas is a revolution of such cosmic proportions and its consequences so far reaching that nothing remains untouched, not even our ordinary, human relationships. | John 1:1-5, 14

Joy is a powerful word for the Christian. | Luke 2:8-20

One of the challenges people face in virtually all of their relationships is the inability or unwillingness to empathize with the other person. However, putting effort into knowing the other person's story and longings will go a long way to improving your capacity for empathy and your relationships overall. Jesus teaches us to do this when he commands us to love the other person like ourselves -- we must put effort into thinking what we would want were we in their shoes, in their story. | Matthew 22:34-40
