Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.

Take, Learn, Rest.
Jesus declared that all who come to Him will find rest. Our New Creation Sabbath is a person, not a day. Sure, we still need to take time to rest, contemplate, and marvel at His goodness, but we have a New Creation grace that makes rest our default position.
Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
It is Finished!
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father because He had finished His work of redemption. Have you ever thought about all that is already yours because of what He did? Take a moment. Stop your work, mental and physical, and be thankful for what's already been done.
God’s Favorite Song
All of us face some tough times. Adam made sure of that. Jesus faced them, too. He had a weapon that is available to you and I: He knew God's favorite song, and He sang it as He faced the cross. Let's try it!
Life is Draining: Stay Tanked Up
Have you ever felt like life has drained you of your spiritual vigor, like you don’t have enough faith to face the things that are coming at you? Most of us have. Fortunately, the Bible shows us how we can stay tanked up, ready to quench fiery darts and move mountains.
Guardrails for Guidance: Hearing God’s Voice in a Noisy World
If we are honest in our desire to please God, not self, our first step is to check our own heart. We’re all still human after all. Most of our thinking is about us. We all have our own experiences, needs, and desires. We naturally interpret things through those lenses. Because of this, a heart check may be in order.
What if We Practice What We Preach?
Jesus, the Christ, will be in our midst as we lift our voices in worship. It doesn’t matter if the band is good or the songs uplifting. It only matters that we praise Him and please Him. When I realize that I am there for Him, not Him for me, miracles happen, and opportunities follow.
Sunday Supernaturally: Less Petition, More Praise
Most of us spend way too much time asking God to give us things He's already given and do things He's already done. What we need is a revelation of what it means to be "in Him." Let's pray for that.
Sunday Supernaturally: He’s Alive. Pass it on!
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 1 Corinthians 15:17 ESV He's alive. That changed everything.
