PRESSING ONWARD | Philippians 3:12

What would you say that you are in your Christian life? Would you say that you've arrived... What would you say that you are right where you have wanted to be? Or would you say, no, I've not arrived? I know that there is still more... So much more of Jesus to know. Well, I wanna talk for a few moments about the joy, the joy of not having arrived, the joy of knowing there are still so much more of Jesus and the life and Jesus to know, the wonder of going after the more...

KEEPING THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING | Psalm 27:4

Educator, Steven Covey has said that the main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing. Now, his words really speak to me today as I find it so easy to get distracted from the main thing in life, that one all important thing that matters most. I can so easily lose sight of that, and I think that's why I am so drawn to a scripture text that I wanna look at today as David models keeping the main thing, the main thing.

WHEN FEELING BURDENED | Psalm 55

I didn't know what to talk about with you today. I was feeling scattered, bothered, weighed down, I just couldn't get it together. And then I thought about what I was feeling, and I remembered a time in the life of David when he was feeling something like that, and it helped me to remember what David did when he was burdened, and that took me to a Psalm of David...

YOU FIND WHAT YOU LOOK FOR | Isaiah 6:3

I wish you could have known my friend Bob. Bob was a wonderful and gracious man, but Bob wasn't always like that. I mean, Bob would have been the first to tell you. Bob wasn't born that way, he wasn't raised that way, he hadn't always been that way. But as Bob told it, his life had been one train wreck after another. He was angry, bitter, unhappy, and then finally, Bob hits bottom and he turns to God.

TRANSFORMED LIVING | Romans 12:2

Henry David Thoreau said, “The path of least resistance leads to crooked rivers and crooked men” Good words, I think, as you and I live in a culture where it can be so tempting to take the path of least resistance, tempting to just go along, to get along. Well, I was in college, home for spring break, talking excitedly with my mom about what I was learning and what I was doing, and my mother listened quietly, and then she warned me, Tim, you're like a sponge soaking up everything around you...

GROWING THROUGH WAITING | Psalm 27:14

I was waiting at a crosswalk the other day, and I pushed the button for the crosswalk to let me go, and there was this rude mechanical voice commanding... Wait, wait, wait. Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like to wait whether it's waiting in traffic, waiting in the supermarket line, are waiting because my computer doesn't seem to be working fast enough. The digital age is teaching me that waiting is bad for me, but the waiting is keeping me from getting what I want, that waiting is holding me back from the good life. And I along with a lot of other people, I don't want to wait. I want it now, but then I see in the Bible, I see God's people waiting.

LIVING WITH EAGER EXPECTATION | 1 Samuel 22:3

I visited a friend in the hospital yesterday, and I asked him, “On a scale of one to ten, how are you?” Today, I'm wondering about you who are listening by podcast. On a scale of one to 10, how are you? Whether you're feeling a one or a ten, I have a good word for you from scripture for the life of David, from a time when David is between a rock and a hard place, a time when David is in trouble again, and David has something good to teach us about difficult times

KNOWING WHY GOD PUT YOU HERE | 1 Corinthians 1:1-2

Have you ever wondered why you're here? Why God put you here? Why now at this time, with your particular gifts and talents, with your life situation, with the things that have happened to you? Why are you here? Mark Twain said, the two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why. Why? That is a big question. And I've talked to a lot of people over the years that live through life, not knowing why they're here because of a lot of hurt, a lot of wrong turns, a lot of emptiness. Well, let's see if we can't figure out why...
