Kingdom Character: Growing in Generosity (Part 2)

2019-03-14T17:07:33+00:00

We live in such a materialistic, success-driven world. It seems that everyone is looking out for number one – for themselves. But God calls His people to live differently: He calls us to live generously in every way, every single day. In order to honor God and live generously, our character needs to be refined and molded because it certainly doesn’t come naturally for us to want to be generous. So how do we grow in our character and increase in generosity? The Identity Connection How we relate to money can sometimes be like a 2-sided coin; on one side there’s [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Generosity (Part 1)

2019-03-14T17:08:33+00:00

Growing in generosity isn’t just about giving more; it’s about the condition of our hearts as we give. We may think that we are generous because we give to the poor, help the needy, or drop a donation in a bucket outside the grocery store. But generosity is about much more than just money. God expects us to be generous in every aspect of our lives, and this requires the development of our character. God is Generous Because God is generous, we should strive to be generous too – we should want to be like our Father. It’s all about thinking [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Humility (Part 2)

2019-03-14T17:10:17+00:00

As we grow in character, humility is one of the things that we definitely want to display more and more. We understand that our model, Jesus Christ, had a gentle and humble heart (Matthew 11:29), and He demonstrated it wherever He went. No matter the circumstances, He never lacked humility, and with his help, that’s what we need to strive for too. Understand the Dangers of Pride I think it’s important to understand some of the dangers of pride. God takes pride seriously – seriously enough to kick one of His archangels (Lucifer/Satan) out of His presence because of it! Remember, [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Humility (Part 1)

2019-03-14T17:11:16+00:00

We all know someone who seems to be on the arrogant side. And it’s a total turn off, right? Arrogance and pride just seem to repel people, but humility does the opposite; it’s attractive. But humility isn’t just about having the right attitude – it’s about growing in spiritual character. Humility is something that Jesus emulated, so of course, we want humility to grow in our lives as well. So how exactly do we cultivate humility? Humility Defined Before we get into how to develop humility in our lives, let’s define it. First, humility isn’t thinking you’re terrible and everyone else [...]

Do you know what season you are in? I don't mean, is it Fall, Spring, Summer or Winter? What I mean is...do you know what your present-day life is to be focused on?

The Holiness Process

2019-03-22T16:30:59+00:00

"The fruit of the Spirit is grown in the soil of adversity." This is what I heard in my spirit as I was studying in Galations 5. In order to grow our character to be more like Christ, we have to embrace the difficult seasons in life and find a new way to respond to them. We cannot respond out of our flesh, our human nature or fallen nature. We must embrace the mind of Christ and use the power of our free will to choose to move in the opposing spirit of what is attacking us in those moments. Instead [...]

Intimacy with God

2019-03-22T16:32:23+00:00

It is one thing to know about God. It is quite another to really know Him personally. How close do feel your relationship is to God currently? How do you relate to Him? Do you know His heart of unconditional love for you? Do you see yourself as a servant or as a child of God?  As a young Christian, I grew up being taught about Jesus and knew that He had a Father. But when I read the bible later in life and saw that Jesus had said, "If you have seen me, then you have seen the Father. He [...]
