Unfortunately, we have an enemy who is a known successful schemer and liar pushing us in this direction, so we continue to see ourselves as gods. Genesis 3:4-5 4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5…

We all worship something, money, success, power, self, God. So, it makes sense to take the time to make sure that what we worship is worthy of our time and commitment. Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

(see 1 Corinthians 6:19-20) • I am a member…

lived in close relationship with God and knew God as his friend. He had God’s promises in his heart, God’s presence in his life, and God’s power in his spirit.

There are more than 7,000 promises in God’s word that we can trust in for our daily lives. Matthew 28:20b And…

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Ephesians 2:8-9 “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
