Loving Neighbor: Honor Your Father and Mother

In this first command, God shows us 'Loving Neighbor' starts at home. As God, in Christ calls us family and cares for us, so are we to honor and care for our earthly families, and by his love, open our hearts to others who need family as well.

Loving God: Honor the Sabbath Day

God invites us to show our love for him, by choosing this day to intentionally remember him. God invites us one day a week to remember he loves us not for what we do, but just because we are his, in this grace filled command to honor him not by our work but by our trusting rest.

God Rules

Every game has rules. If you don't know them (or follow them), the game is spoiled and everybody loses. So what kind of rules has God put into place so we can play well together and help create a trustworthy world? It begins with trusting in God, alone.

From Discord to Harmony

The events of the past year have caused divisions in communities, churches, and families. Many relationships have been broken and much has been lost. Can Jesus show us a way back to each other that is filled with grace and truth?

Good Grief

We all share in the fact that each of us will experience the death of a loved one sometime in our lives. Yet each experience of loss is unique to the individual. How do we honor one another and honor Jesus as we walk this difficult road?

Identity Thieves

In order to grow, we need to grieve what we've lost- but we also need to grieve things we wish we had. When life robs us of the fulfillment of dreams it can challenge our ideas of who we are. Jesus invites us to mourn, so that we may be comforted. Only when we acknowledge and validate our real griefs, can we truly surrender them to the Lord, and ask for his help and healing.

Respair

We have all dealt with some "lemons" from this past year. Sometimes these painful realities have left us despairing or, in some cases, depressed. How does God see us when we despair of life itself? Let's learn from the story of the prophet Elijah.
