What Are You Lacking?

13Oct24 (24bO28). The rich young man is doing well, but he knows there is more. Hopefully we are doing well, but we want more and God wants more. We want to thrive not just survive. Living all for Jesus allows us to thrive in love which is what we are made for. The rich young man’s wealth is holding him back. What is holding us back?

Trust Your Father

6Oct24 (24bO27). In the beginning it was not so. God created us to thrive in a specific way but the broken messiness makes us jaded like teenagers. We should be like children who trust our Heavenly Father and seek to live the way God made us. Marriage of one male and one female that is for life. Husbands love your spouses as Jesus loved the Church and gave Himself up for her. If you are married, your spouse is the most important relationship in your life outside of God.

Jesus Desires Unity

29Sep24 (24bO26). Disunity is often the fruit of self-righteousness and insecurity. Unity is the fruit of security in Our Father in Heaven. May we be instruments of unity in security of our Heavenly Father.
