Though most people believe the message of Jesus is for all people, many don’t really want all people to be a part of their local church. If we’re honest, there are some people we’d prefer NOT be a part of our local church. But what if God has something bigger for us and for those […]
One of the biggest illusions in life is that we can control the world around us. As much as we’d like to believe that, the truth is we can’t. Not only are we unable to control the world around us, but we’re also not able to control God. It’s when we recognize our inability to […]
One of the reasons we question the bigness of God is unanswered prayers. We reach out to God, but God doesn’t do the thing we want him to do. What if the reason God doesn’t answer our prayers is that they’re not big enough? What if God wants us to pray bigger prayers?

About 10 years ago the Barna Research Group identified 5 characteristics that Americans aged 16-29 believed represented Christians. Sadly, none of those characteristics from 10 years ago were representative of Jesus 2000 years ago. Perhaps more troubling is that the religious people who crucified Jesus were known for many of these. So how does a […]
