Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? It’s that moment where we catch ourselves parenting on empty, leading on empty, and living on empty - just trying to make it to the next day, event, or season. There are three spiritual gauges from the Bible that can help us avoid Running on Empty and instead live a life full of peace and joy: Shema, Shabbat, & Shalom.

This Sunday, we celebrated what God did at Camp! One of the themes of the Gospel of Mark is that Jesus is the Good News that we are looking for. Jesus came to seek and save the lost - he came to serve, not be served.

You've likely heard the axiom, “The grass is greener on the other side.” Far too often, we drift into an unhealthy discontentment - longing for what this world offers. What's next isn't always better, but what God has planned for us when we are at home in eternity with Him is!

Before the star in the sky, the baby in the manger, and shepherds watching their flocks by night, there was hope woven throughout the Old Testament. It is a Christmas hope pointing to the savior of the world we encounter and see in the New Testament.

Temptation does not want to take over a small part of your life, it wants to overrun all of you. How do we fight back when we are tempted? What if it feels like we are backed into a corner? Take heart - God’s faithfulness helps us endure and overcome any temptation as we live for Christ.

We often have the tendency to overcomplicate the Gospel, losing sight of its elegant simplicity. The beauty of salvation is that it isn't based on our own merits or works. This is how Jesus saves - it is found in Christ alone, achieved by grace alone, and received through faith alone.

The Bible is a landscape of promises from God to His people. It is a story of God’s faithfulness because God is who is says He is, and He will do what He says He will do. Some of these promises have been fulfilled, some are coming to fruition right now, and some we still anticipate to come.
