There are as many kinds of needs out there as there are people. Some people need physical help, while others need help with their relationships, thoughtlife, or healing from past hurts they’ve experienced. How do we look at people when we see their need

In Genesis, God breathed spiritual life into Adam's physical body - allowing Him to become a living being who was made in the image of God. This is why we care for our own bodies, and for the bodies of others. In part six of "The Body", Pastor Joe focuses

Sometimes we know we need help - whether it be emotionally, physically, or spiritually - yet we don't know exactly where to get it from. And then there's our friends, family members, and coworkers who may be looking for help too. Where should they go to g

Relationships of all kinds can be difficult, and sometimes they go sour. But being a true disciple of Jesus means that we must repent and make things right with both God and with the people in our lives. If we've sinned against someone, we cannot repent t

The world often tells us that relational commitment is restrictive. And without love, it can certainly feel like a straightjacket. But God’s greatest blessings are experienced within committed love, which is why marriage is one of the greatest - and mos

God has a lot to say about relationships in His Word because He invented them for our good! This includes all the advice we need on how to have and maintain healthy friendships. Friends should continuously be “sharpening” each other – or making each

It may be easy to think that if we give everything to God, it’s His job to work things out perfectly - and we’ll never experience pain. But God calls us to obey Him whether our plans turn out to be a success, or they end in failure and grief. In part

Sometimes we can be really bad at grieving. Part of us may be scared of it - or maybe we just don’t know how. It can be awkward working through our sorrows; and it’s hard to know how to move beyond grief instead of just covering it up however we can.

Life can be filled with moments of great joy and celebration – but it can also bring moments, days, and even years of great grief. Some people may think that as Christians, God somehow shields us from all pain and sorrow in this life – but even Jesus

Although it's unfortunate, it is common for many Christians to feel inadequate in their prayer lives. But because of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit living in us, we get to talk to the Father as His beloved children without fear of being "good enough"! I

Depending on who it is, ‘reminding people of someone’ can be a good thing... or a bad thing. Who we resemble has an impact on the world around us, as different people’s identities carry different character traits. So who should we look like the most

It can be comical looking back to when we were young and we “rebelled” against our parents, teachers, or other authorities thinking that true freedom comes from living life by our own rules. But it’s not so funny when we grow up and don't change tha

In our Spiritual lives, there’s often something inside of us that likes keeping rules and earning “points”. Maybe we think that if we’re good, God will owe us, and we’ll get what we want. Or if we’re bad, maybe we’ll be punished. But that’

What we believe about God and about ourselves is foundational to how we function. If we believe we have to do everything in our own power, we will consistently fall short every time. Trying harder to do better won’t solve our deepest problems – we nee

We will all go through - or know someone who goes through – a tragic situation at some point in this lifetime. Many people who have experienced abandonment, addiction, abuse, loss, or some other form of intense pain may assume that God doesn’t care ab

Families are far from perfect. Many grow up with parents and siblings that aren’t healthy or whole. Other families may be caring and supportive, but still can’t fulfill all of the needs we have in this world. In part 1 of “Welcome to the Family”,

It’s easy to assume that we should invest in the things we care about – and to an extent, we should. But what happens when we’re only investing in temporary things? In the finale of "The Pocket Change", Pastor Joe reminds us how Jesus taught His dis

When it comes to our finances, it can be easy to confuse what we get to use with what we own. As an owner, we make all the decisions about what we do with what we own. As a manager, we have to consider the will of the owner with what we get to use. In Par

Recent research reveals that of the top ten most visited websites on the internet, two of them are porn sites – with a third being in eleventh place. Pair that with the fact that pornography is an estimated $97 billion industry, and there’s no denying

Healthy boundaries aren’t always easy. Circumstances arise where knowing whether to say “Yes” or “No” to someone or something can feel like a wrestling match in our mind. Each “Yes” or “No” we make has consequences – so how do we know

Even when we think that our mistakes are too great to be fixed or made into something better, God still has a purposeful plan for it all! It is up to each of us to leave the old life behind and start living in the newness of the life Jesus offers us. In t

Although we may want Him to at times, God will never force us to stop sinning – that would go directly against the free will He gave us! There is no magical prayer request that will make the bad things we do suddenly disappear. So how do we stop doing t

Oftentimes we try to make new commitments to good things before we break our old commitments with the bad. We may think that we can change simply by ignoring the past and starting over again – but eventually, we will fall back into the same patterns we
