RENEWED
Who are you? Does it feel like everyone is weighing in to decide who you are and who you should be? What you should say or think or do? What does God say? Let's examine this identity crisis using Romans 12: 2 together!
Romans 12: 2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Praying Through-Out our Journey
This journey through life is not a quiet one because God encourages us to stay in touch with Him through prayer. It is so refreshing to have a heart-to-heart with someone who loves you so much and who is always available.

Running His Race.
Based on Hebrews 12: 1-2 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." (ESV)

For the Love of Words.
This world was created by a God who lovingly spoke the world into being. Words preceded creation. How amazing is that? He further reveals Himself through more words.
Words reveal; words can also inspire, terrify, break down and build up.
This talk is all about words; how God uses them to reveal His character; and how we can use them to inspire, encourage and build each other up.
