Your Best Jump
Faith is not about moving God to embrace our agendas. It is about being moved to embrace his. The rub in all of this is that it makes God big and us small. We aren’t going to be able to get our way all the time. And we don’t take no for an answer very well…especially in America. So there are lots of preachers and cultural leaders who bring a different message. At the core is this promise: You can be like God. You can control your destiny. The problem is, that’s not true…that’s why it breaks down…and that belief is the source of a majority of the pain people of faith experience. The reality of what Jesus wants to do if we’ll trust him is far more fulfilling and comforting at the same time.

God's Good All Ways
Our greatest weaknesses are God’s greatest opportunities… if we will trust him. The points of our greatest weaknesses are the points where God has his greatest opportunities to demonstrate his power…if we will demonstrate faith. We all have a tendency to measure God’s goodness, mercy, and interest in our lives according to what we see, feel, and experience. But it takes more faith to endure a no from God than to acquire a yes.

I Promise
Faith is believing that God will do what he promised. Walking by faith is living as if God will do what he promised. The thing that generates and, at the same time, is the motivating force of such a lifestyle is hope.

iServe - Part 3 - Just Jump In!
The emotion typically felt when jumping off a diving board for the very first time is fear. But after we hit the water and find we survived it, we scramble to get in line for another jump. The Bible contains a similar kind of principle for us in Psalm 34:8. It simply says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.†There are some things in life that you will never know how good they are until you just jump in.
