As a pastor, I believe certain things about you. One is that you want to do something with your life that makes a difference. But what stops you Sometimes it’s a matter of not knowing how. But more often I hear something like this: "I know God can work through me; it’s just hard to believe he wants to work through me.” One thing I’ve learned is this … In the hands of Jesus, broken people are useful people.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel.

In addressing the objections of the religious leaders to performing a miracle on the Sabbath, Jesus responds, “My Father is always at work.” Jesus and the Father operated in sync with one another. Jesus does what he see his Father doing and this is because “the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does.” What we may perceive as a lack of God’s activity may be the result of our lack of perception. As we draw closer to Jesus, we will discover the many different ways God is already at work in our world.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel. Looking for a Speaking Coach?

While in Jerusalem, Jesus walked by the Bethesda pool where “a great number of disabled people” gathered each day. The reason the pool drew so many people was the belief that the waters had magical healing powers. According to legend, an angel would descend and touch the waters and the first to enter would be healed. Jesus encounters a man who has lived with his disability for thirty-eight years. He asks the man what seems to be an odd question: “Do you want to get well?” Not everyone who needs to be healed want to be healed. Jesus does heal the man, but it happens to be on the Sabbath – something that will attract the attention of the religious leaders.Watch more videos at the Mountainview YouTube channel.

My father once told me something that you have probably heard in some shape or form. He told me, "Ken, if common sense was truly common then more people would have it." As I've thought about this over the years, I've come to realize that some people have truly uncommon sense - they are able to anticipate things others cannot. They see opportunities where others see a blank page or a problem. Many of our innovations and advances have originated from this uncommon outside-the-box thinking. But I say this not to diminish the importance of common sense. Common sense and how it is applied forms the basic building blocks of life, relationships, finances, and so much more. Common sense provides shared pathways of understanding and tools for navigating life. Over thousands of years, the human race has discovered and developed certain operating principles that both save time and lives. Simply…

Have you ever left a conversation and wondered, "What just happened?" Or, you leave feeling worse or more discouraged or even angry. You may have been swept up into the undertow of someone else's emotions. An undertow is a current of water that lies below a peaceful surface. It's a powerful current that can sweep the strongest of swimmers out to sea. And you may not know it's there until it's too late. Truth be told, there are people who would love for you to swim in the undertow of their dysfunctions. Their pity needs a party and you're invited. But just say no. Getting swept up in the undertow is different than feeling genuine empathy and compassion. Empathy and compassion are healthy and can lead the person towards healing. The undertow will just pull you further and further down. Professor at Warner University masters in business administration (mba) presenter…
