In Luke 14:7-24, Jesus teaches and shares a parable about going and inviting others in. And he roots it all in our confidence that grows based in his love for us, a love that grows out of prayer.De către Stephen Watson

Ask. Seek. Knock. And God will give, guide and lead. It does require something of us though. A willingness to be shameless in our desire to God.De către Sarah Watson

An oft repeated verse (2 Chron. 7:14) tells us that God will hear our cries, forgive us and heal us. But that happens only if we first humble, pray and turn.De către Stephen Watson

Romans 12 teaches us how to live as peacemakers, people who bring peace into our world, and living this out requires spiritual transformation. Romans 12:2 tells us that Jesus wants to transform us into new people and that changes everything!De către Stephen Watson

Romans 12 teaches us how to live as peacemakers, people who bring peace into our world. Be happy with those who are happy and weep with those who weep.

Let's dig into and learn how we can bless those who are in times of pain…

The main two ways we respond and react to conflict are to become defensive or hit back offensively. Colossians 3:12-15 teaches us that there is another path that leads to peace and it goes through the action of forgiveness.De către Stephen Watson
