The pathway of peace isn’t always peaceful, but you will have peace of mind and heart. If you don’t have both peace of mind and heart, you probably aren’t on the path. Jesus offers us peace even though our circumstances are not always peaceful.

Gauges help us understand if anything needs repair. Jesus showed the disciples that love is the gauge that shows us the way forward. He didn’t use fear or shame to convince them of what they should do but instead lived by the metric of love.

Carpool lanes are the fastest way to get somewhere as long as you have someone else in the car. The Holy Spirit is meant to help us find our way. Just like the carpool lane, we cheat the Holy Spirit, finding substitutes for His presence and power.

Philip, with Jesus from the start of His ministry, asked Jesus to show them the Father. Jesus was surprised because everything He had done had shown people the Father. We, too, need to know how to look for Jesus when it is hard to see Him.

As He talked to His closest followers in the upper room, Jesus knew He soon would be arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. Instead of offering them reassurance about their remaining days on Earth, He reminded them this world is not their home.

Jesus’ claim of being the way, the truth, and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through Him is politically incorrect. Guest Preacher Lee Strobel will walk us through three myths our culture has about religion.

Jesus began a disruptive sermon with the calming words, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Despite the world having changed a lot in the past few months, we know where we are going because we are following Jesus.

God’s people begged Him to release them from Egypt. Lacking trust, they then begged to go back. As a church, we are never going back to how things were, because what God is inviting us into is bigger than ourselves and bigger than a new normal.

Wrestling with God, Jacob stepped into the hard thing God called him to. We also can wrestle with God through our doubt, fear, and laziness to invite Him to move in our lives. As a church, we are never going back to running from hard.

The dry wells God’s people had dug were never going to produce the living water they thirsted for. As a church, we are never going back to digging for nothing. Instead, we want to find satisfaction in the living water that never runs dry.
