Focusing on the ONE.

Intimacy breeds a new love of God, bringing you to another level of faith. With this new faith, you gain an inner strength that empowers you to overcome obstacles in your path.

Don't get stuck in a cycle of thinking that consistently has you walking outside of Gods will. Our pride will always get us into situations where we cannot get out on our own. Staying inside Gods' boundaries is not meant to harm us but to protect us, giving us a hope and a future.

Once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, the holy spirits power begins to lead and guide you toward truth. The spirit begins to empower you to live like Jesus and find the truth. In seeking the holy spirit, you find ways to live in your new identity, fleeing from sin.

When you join the Kingdom of God, you are added to the united body of Christ. We all play a role that us unique to us that benefits and uplifts the church. Just like the human body, each individual organ, limb, and muscle functions to make a human flourish. When one part stops functioning properly, the whole body feels the effects. Just like the body of Christ, our united church suffers when all members do not act according to their God given role.

We have a father who has SO much power. But, accessing the power of God is due to a relationship that you hold with him. For those of us in Christ, we have a great high priest who will go to bat for us in ways we cannot even imagine.

You can put God's truth to the test by asking God to move in situations that have been impossible for you to overcome. In trusting the truth, you can walk across waters you never have been able to before.

In chasing happiness, we can be enslaved to our outside circumstances. But, when we seek joy through all circumstances, we access the power of God and can find peace admits all trials.

We can live in a distorted reality, filled with so many mistruths, that we can't even see clearly the truth God has given us. But thankfully, God walks on our chaos to redefine our reality and teach us truth.

Often times, the call for Christians is entering into seasons of extreme discomfort. But, we take comfort knowing that through our suffering, God is drawing us closer to himself.
