As we wait on God to show up in our lives... Sometimes seemingly as slow as Christmas... We wonder if God really has a plan for our lives, and if so, how we can get in on it ourselves! WE usually have a single, hammer-like way of praying about it, but James, the brother of Jesus, offers us a different approach and a different perspective on what God is up to in our lives.

Do you ever feel "out of sync" with the Christmas season? You can hear the Christmas carolers singing "Joy to the World," but you aren't experiencing joy in your own life?

What is a leader? Different people seem to have different answers to that question, so it sort of depends on who you ask... So why don't we ask Jesus? Jesus was really clear about who is a leader, and his answer might just surprise you.

Is the church over, or does God still have big plans for you and for me? At a game-changing encounter in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus gives his disciples the KEYS to moving forward. Have we appropriated those keys? Are we using them properly? How does Jesus move us FORWARD in 21st Century America?
