For many of us, our view of God is way too small. In my younger years, I saw God as the principal in high school. Stick to the rules or else you’ll end up in his office and that won’t be any fun. That is a very small view of God – and a wrong view of God. How big is your view of God? While I don’t know the answer to that question, I do know a few things about each of you … At some point in life, you will face impossible odds. Some of you are OK right now. Others of you have already faced some really challenging circumstances. When faced with impossible odds, you will also face the question of whom you will trust. When your finances are thin, what will you lean into? When you can’t trust people around you, who will you trust? If…

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. People seem nicer, except in checkout lines. Christmas music with words about Jesus gets played in stores other than Chick-fil-A. And who doesn’t love pictures with Santa? How do you feel about Christmas? Depending on your experiences growing up, Christmas may not give you the warm fuzzies. Perhaps there is an empty chair around the dinner table. Regardless of our personal experiences or feelings, Christmas is a reminder that God offers us the opportunity to be led by a Wonderful Counselor. Isaiah is an interesting character in the Bible. He’s known as one of the Major Prophets and will be quoted in the New Testament over 65 times. As a prophet, Isaiah had worked with godly rulers and ungodly rulers. In that sense, not much has changed. During the time we’re going to study, Isaiah is working with one of…

You’ve probably heard someone say, “You reap what you sow.” In other words, you harvest what you plant. The law of reaping and sowing is just as real as the law of gravity. If I jump off the stage, I’m confident I will land on floor. While it may be fun for you to watch, it might not turn out so pleasant for me. Some of the most frustrated people I know are those who want to experience change but don’t want to do anything different. It doesn’t work that way. Generous people don’t think like stingy people. They understand the law of the harvest. They understand that whatever you want out of life, give it away: If you want to be loved, love people.
