May we trust Jesus for courage, sensitivity, and guidance and we seek and have hard conversations.

Are you willing to listen to others and ask personal questions?

Who do you say Jesus is?

Where people see problems, Jesus sees needs. When the disciples were worried about feeding 4,000 men, Jesus gave thanks for 7 loaves of bread and a few fish. We should all give thanks for what we have and ask God's help for the rest.

God loves and cares for all including us dogs just begging for scraps. He doesn't care where we have come from or what we have done, only that we have faith in him.

Nothing you put in your body will make you unclean. But our lips are our last defense for what may come out of our bodies. Our hearts are what we need to keep clean.

Just by allowing Jesus into your boat, he will calm your seas. Let Jesus in your life and watch the changes begin.

Our prayer should be that God gives us the strength and willingness to answer his call for our lives. For most of us that will be at our day to day jobs. But, even if that means dropping everything to serve him.

Jesus is always there to calm the storms in our lives. Even when our faith is fading or we think he is sleeping.

What do a 12 year old girl and a woman that has been sick for 12 years have in common? Jesus never strays from a chance to teach and a strong faith can lead to miracles.

Being a follower of Jesus will bring divisions in your life. In some instances that includes our families. At times, Jesus own family had trouble believing who he was. But we should still surround ourselves with loved ones and celebrate Jesus birth and life.

The Holiday season is generally viewed as a time to be happy. But, it is not always that easy to do so. It certainly wasn't easy for Mary and Joseph. But in the end everything worked out. By listening and trusting in God they were able to bring their child, the savior of all people, into the world.

An unknown number of magicians travel 800 miles following a moving star to honor a baby with 3 gifts. He was born in a manger of a virgin. We know him as Jesus and He is the best gift we could ever have asked for.

May we always be eager and willing to accept the seed that Jesus is sewing in our lives.

Whoever stands by me when others call me crazy is my Brother, my Sister, and my Mother. Satan can not drive out Satan. Who rules your home?

Who have you gone to dinner with lately?

Our relationship with Jesus is like the tides. We draw close to him to learn and be fed, then go out to engage others, and bring them to Jesus. We come back to be fed and go back to bring more to Him.

Gods leaders are a blessing. We learn the truth in what is GOOD versus false, how to be competitive in our pursuit to be GODLY, they demonstrate how to GROW and become a leader in faith ourselves.

We can get so caught up in our own lives, we do not even recognized we need Jesus in our lives. When He speaks do we go? Are we ready?

When Jesus was baptized the trinity was present. There is power in knowing when we are baptized the same trinity is present. Showing us mercy.
