Meet Jesus in the storm; allow him to use the storm in your life as pavement for his feet to reach you.

There is a battle between Jesus and man's religion and it reveals the Pharisees were hypocrites - just like us.

Whoever you are, whatever your need, Jesus wants to meet you right where you are.

When we come to a teaching in the life of Jesus, are we truly looking to gain spiritual understanding from it for our lives?

In order to see "spiritually clearly," we must gain our spiritual sight in stages.

Jesus shares the most important eternal truth in a life changing riddle.

The Bible is clear, there is a fundamental connection between our spiritual lives and our money.

Jesus wants us to be ready, to stay alert, and to watch for his return at any time - whenever that comes.

Worship goes far beyond music and singing. Does your worship cost you anything?

We can never, ever begin to understand what it cost Christ to become God's sacrifice to pay for our sins on the Cross.

Do we run away from who Jesus truly is? Instead, run to him in spiritual humility and embrace him fully.

We may have more confidence in our religion than in a real, saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Resurrection is central to the entire Gospel message - for it to be personal FOR you, it must be personal TO you.
