We all have a tendency to drift from God, but we’re never too far from God to restore our relationship with him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church
…

When we get lost, it’s often the result of our own decisions—we wander, drift, or even run away from God. In the parable of the lost son, Jesus sheds light on how God views us when our choices lead us away—and how he responds when we’re ready to come home.

The next time you feel insignificant or unqualified, remember the Christmas story. It’s a powerful reminder that our worth comes from God. He sees us, loves us, and wants to partner with us to invite others into God’s family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church

During this time of year, we engage our imaginations as we embrace the magic of Christmas. Let’s also imagine what the world would be like if we fully embraced the way of Jesus—the way of love. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church

Jesus came to show us not only the way back to God, but the way back to others as well. As people who have been reconciled to God, we should pursue reconciliation with people whenever possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church

Have you ever felt like you've lost your way? Usually by the time we realize we’re lost, we’ve been lost for quite some time. And we instinctively ask, "What should I do?" Instead, there’s a different question to consider. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church

It’s easier to keep track of something than to catch up with it. That’s especially true of our money. If our money could talk, it would say, “I’m easy to track, but lose track of me and you will lose your peace of mind.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church
…

Are you mastering your money or being mastered by it? Maybe it’s time to flip the script. Instead of striving to have enough money to satisfy a me-first appetite, Jesus encouraged his listeners to have an others-first approach. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church
…
continue reading
If our money could talk, what would it tell us? You might be shocked to find out that what our money would say is pretty close to what Jesus did say—and what we should still consider today. Does our money add meaning to our lives or is it the meaning of our lives? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Your great work is to identify the distractions that keep you from the “problem” that you are uniquely positioned to solve. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Decatur City Church

God intends to orchestrate something extraordinary out of the ordinary in our lives. Have you ever heard that God has incredible purpose for your life? What does that mean? How do we discover his purpose? Sometimes we just need to eliminate the distractions, so we can hear God speak to us about his unique purpose for our lives. See omnystudio.com/l…

Moses thought he knew himself. He knew how others saw him. Then he had an encounter with God that changed everything. Apart from God, Moses was full of guilt, shame, and self-doubt. Once he found his identity in God, he stood up to the king of Egypt, faced his past, convinced more than a million people to follow him into the desert, and governed th…
