Living Faith, Part 13: Possessions and Priorities
We are called to love God and use resources—not the other way around. Everything we have is from the Lord and belongs to the Lord.
Watch / ListenLiving Faith, Part 11: “Don’t Judge Me!”
When we speak evil against others, it reveals that we place others below ourselves, that we place ourselves above the law, that we place ourselves above God, and that we elevate ourselves and our judgments.

Watch / ListenLiving Faith, Part 2: How to Find Wisdom

If you are a follower of Jesus, you have God’s guarantee that He is in the process of transforming you into the image of Jesus Christ. Because His primary tool for this transformation is suffering, any and all pain you experience in this life He can and He will redeem for this purpose.
