What should you do after Jesus raises you from the dead? Throw a party, of course! When our service to God is motivated by love, it makes our most generous acts even more significant.

We often pray for God to comfort the hurting, but have you ever wondered how He does it?

Who is the most encouraging person you know? When we are living with Jesus, we make a point of being people who encourage and build up those around us!

When we use “love” to describe our feelings for grandma, pizza, and intimacy, we maybe shouldn't assume we know what Jesus meant by “love one another.” The way He loved is the standard.

Love is so crucial to the human experience that it saturates the books we read, the movies we watch, and the music we hear. Yet to truly know what love is, we have to understand its origin in the God who created us and the way He shows us His love in Jesus Christ.

Many of us pray, but do we pray like Jesus? If we will allow Him to teach us what, when, and how to pray, it will transform our lives.

In our culture of fighting for our fair share, “submission” seems like a bad word. Because of who Jesus is, submission is an essential part of the Christian life.

We often define being a “disciple” as being a “student”, but there is a big difference in studying Algebra and following Jesus. Jesus’ disciples don’t just learn a subject: we learn to be like our teacher.

Making disciples is an essential element of Christ’s mission. Yet, how much do we really understand what discipleship is? Much more than a church program or passing spiritual fad, discipleship is all about learning from and being completely devoted followers of Jesus.

“Kingdom” was at the heart of Jesus’ ministry and mission; but what exactly is it? Sometimes we use religious-sounding words without ever stopping to consider what they mean. The “kingdom” was hugely important to Jesus, so it must be to us as His followers, too: not only as a future hope or present membership, but as a daily reality of God’s rule in our lives.
