Love, Learn, Live the Word (Exodus 20:3)
Do you worship anything or anyone other than God? In the first of the Ten Commandments, God said, “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). We were created to worship the God of the universe (John 4:24). In our sinful nature, we risk worshiping other gods by desiring them in our hearts. […]
Love, Learn, Live the Word (Genesis 1:1)
Do you need a new beginning? “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). God is love (1 John 4:8), and from His love, He designs and creates. The foundation of believing in the one true God is recognizing Him as our Designer and Creator. Everything starts with Him. No one […]
Go Wisely: Foolish Builder
On what foundation do you make every choice, capture every thought, process every feeling, or offer every prayer? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus painted the picture of a foundation upon which His disciples could build their hearts and lives. Jesus summarized it as building one’s house on the rock (Matthew 7:24-25). He closed […]

Go with Discretion: Disciple
Jesus taught His disciples to discern and disciple. First, they were to discern their mentors, noting that their roots determined their fruit (Matthew 7:15-20). Second, His disciples were called to disciple others who would multiply the fruit of the kingdom (Matthew 7:21-23). Disciple. Intimacy with the Root produces His fruit (Matthew 7:21-23). Jesus preached that […]
Go with Discretion: Discern
Have you ever entrusted yourself to a mentor who wanted you to be more oriented toward man-made rules than relationships? Rather than base his advice on the teaching of Christ and the counsel of the Bible, he developed his own personal potpourri of teachings. Describing two trees, Jesus addressed this dichotomy in the Sermon on […]
Go Through the Narrow Gate (Part 2)
We approach life with God through one of two gates, traveling one of two roads, leading to one of two destinations. One is religious, traveling from the outside in. The other is relational, traveling from the inside out. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus described the two gates, the two roads, and the two […]

Go Connectedly (Part 5)
Every encounter with another person is a three-way call. When we are connected with God and connected with others, then they are connected with God. Whereas pride brings static to the line; humility offers a clear connection. Go connectedly with a soft heart of clay (Matthew 7:7-12). In previous weeks we have examined Connection One: […]
Go Connectedly (Part 4)
Have you ever struggled with how you should go to others with the gospel of full surrender to Christ? When a person is caught in his sin, desiring life apart from God, we tend to go to him in one of two extremes: we are either condemning or careless. These are rooted in the two […]

Do Discover Security (Part 2)
Would you like to achieve financial security? How much money would it take for you to have it? Security means that we don’t have to worry. It means that we can trust in one resource to be true all of the time. This desire for security came from God providing man every seed-bearing plant and […]

Do Discover Control
Do you desire money for the control that it brings? Control literally means “to roll against.” It is the extension of our will over another person or object. We attempt to control others, our own lives, or even God. The desire for control came from man being empowered by God to rule over the earth, […]
