When school’s out for summer, a quick glance at some churches might give the impression that they’re on summer break too. Family vacations, summer sports leagues, kids’ activities, and warm weather can easily pull people away from church during summer. But before you miss a Worship Night, consider these three reasons why you need church this summer and fall.
No matter WHO we are, God’s servant-leaders will experience lonely seasons at Cherith. Cherith is the unexplainable waiting place. It’s the place where we feel forgotten, cut off from the blessing that used to be ours. Cherith is CONFUSING. And while it isn’t the place we would have chosen, ALL great leaders will have to pass through it. However, Cherith can actually a be sign of God’s APPROVAL – not His ANGER.
There is only so much room in our hearts. We can’t love everything and be filled up with fresh, filling, after-Thanksgiving-dinner-satisfied love for Jesus at the same time. Wanting God the MOST makes the other stuff better.
Discipline will equip us better for every trial and opportunity up ahead, but LACK of discipline will cripple otherwise obvious opportunities to excel, grow, and bring lasting impact to our lives and the lives around us.
It can be easy to become discouraged, to wallow in self-pity, and give in to self-hate if we're always meditating on where we aren't, who we're not, and what we haven't accomplished compared to others. When negative self-talk seeps in, it's time to course-correct our thought-life by forgetting the ideal and shifting our focus.
Conversing with God all day is not the same thing as seeking His face. At least, not in the way He has commanded us to. Jesus was super clear about the centrality of God’s Word in the life of a disciple. Disciples who last, put their walk first.
Every person, every spiritual leader, and every church has a calling to carry the fire of worship. When the people of God lose their hearts to worship, they miss the access to Jesus that would change, heal, and direct them. Here's how to get more out of worship.
Sometimes we are offended that someone doesn’t seem to value us or our opinion enough. However, God might be humbling us because He is actually trying to promote us. God can’t promote very far those who who can’t handle people being entirely unimpressed or disinterested in them. Sometimes Jesus brings you low to bring you high.
As David was appealing to King Saul to allow him to go fight the giant Goliath, he pointed back to his experience with previous threats -- lions and bears threatening the little lambs in his care. David WAS confident about facing Goliath, not because he had DEFEATED the lion and the bear, but because he was DELIVERED from them.

Discipleship Lesson: Wanting God the MOST makes the other stuff better.
There is only so much room in our hearts.
We can’t love everything. We can’t always be filled up with a devotion to the . . .
- Coolest clothes
- Latest entertainment news
- Hippest hashtag
- Latest trends
- Cutting-edge software
- Strengths and weaknesses of every new player on every team
. . . AND be filled up with fresh, filling, after-Thanksgiving-dinner-satisfied love for Jesus at the same time.
Since vision begins in the heart of God, we should start with prayer, asking the Lord to give us the burden of desire for what He wants us to do with our lives.
If you’re a parent, you have an invitation to respond to. God invites us to LEAD our children.
God has no favorites. It can be tempting to believe that the success or influence of people we see around us or from a distance is evidence that God prefers them over us, but He doesn’t . . .
