Words Can Build Or Tear Down. There is a reason we have a library of words that either built us up or tore us down. Our words have the superpower of either bringing life or death.Branches OC által

Works are not something added as extra to faith - they go together. The real contrast is not faith vs. works. One cannot exist without the other. Faith without action is a faith that hasn’t yet been activated.Branches OC által

James 1:9-10 NLT “ Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them.”Branches OC által

As followers of Jesus we realize we are not righteous people called to correct the unrighteous. We are people who know His love for Us and are compelled to invite others to this freedom. Make sure you stay in you lane.Branches OC által

The Bible is a library and not a book. For that reason, we can allow the Word to more easily transform us when we have understanding and a plan on how to approach it.Branches OC által

Jesus gives many descriptions of what it looks like to be 'successful.' Spoiler Alert: It probably isn't what you think it is.Branches OC által

The truth is that Jesus left. But, He promised He wouldn't leave us alone like orphans. Let's look at what that means.Branches OC által

Does this mean I have to go on more service or mission trips? No. This discipline is a lifestyle of seeing a need and filling a need.Branches OC által

You can submit from a place of weakness. That’s giving up. You submit like Jesus, from a place of strength. We choose to treat others as more valuable than ourselves. Phil 2:3-8Branches OC által

Simplicity is meant to set us free. It takes time, but there is reward immediately.Branches OC által

We take on what we focus our mind upon. But, how can we study Bible if I'm not an academic or scholar?Branches OC által

If your direct tv service stops working in your home and you know you paid the bill, you don’t assume the waves from the company aren’t surrounding your dish. Something is wrong on our end. It’s not that God is not whispering, it’s that we’re not listening.Branches OC által

The Gospel Message of Jesus’ resurrection is usually reserved to talk about only on Easter. But, moving forward, we see that it was the foundation of the early church’s message and faith.Branches OC által

There is one term, one overpowering element that is used to describe being in Heaven - Love. It is so overwhelming that scripture and other witnesses lead with that when describing being in the presence of God. God is love.Branches OC által

For those who have been in Heaven or the presence of our God, the question they always get is, “Now that you’ve seen God, been to Heaven - how are you living your life differently.” Let’s answer that question.Branches OC által

Will my dog be in heaven? Will I not know my spouse or children? What will we look like? Let’s listen in to God’s Word so the picture becomes clearer.Branches OC által

Heaven won’t have everything. And you will be glad of that. Let’s take a deeper dive.Branches OC által

This Sunday morning, we sit down with the worship team to learn about worship and its meaning.Branches OC által

Maybe God is more complicated than we think. By looking at these two habits, characteristics that define Jesus we see that we need to stay in a state of curiosity and wonder on the complexity and beauty of God. Maybe we don’t know as much as we think we know.Branches OC által

He is always speaking. He has, He is, and He will. The difficulty is that we have tendency to turn away from His Word. We don’t stay planted like a tree at a stream of water. Let’s look closer at hearing from God for the purpose of obeying. The result is that we will bear much fruit!Branches OC által

We are always in a hurry. We attribute it to scheduling too much, not often enough, or saying 'yes' when we should be saying 'no' to a request. But, when we look at the unhurried life of Jesus we see that it is something much simpler that will bring about the unhurried life.Branches OC által
