You can’t cross the finish line in any race unless you stay in the game. Often, what keeps many of us from finishing well, is the tendency to quit before the finish line. In this Christian life, we are in a race, and the goal is to not just start strong, but to finish well. Jesus over and again tells parables describing the endearing value of enduring. He is with us through it all, to help us make it all the way to the end!

The world is in chaos, and our nation is buckling under social confusion, and many professing Christians are being caught up in the mess. Why don’t we see a powerful Church the way Jesus described?

There is so much happening on the world stage. Many social issues are being discussed for potential legislation unlike any other time in our nation’s history. But for many Christians, we are caught between responding with harsh emotion, or giving in to the pressure of acceptance. In this new series we will investigate what God’s [...]

We’ve all heard and said phrases like, “All you need is love.” “Make Love not war.” “Falling in love.” “Falling out of love.” One has to wonder, with all of these amazing sayings about love, why, many of us still feel so unloved? Maybe because these empty expressions of love aren’t really love at all. [...]

There is something we all have in common. We have a tendency to think the best of ourselves. And we do this so much so, that it makes it very difficult to admit when we are wrong, or need to change. And the reluctance, or inability to come to terms with the truth usually has [...]

You are in the moment. You and your friends have gone out to karaoke and on comes a popular jam that you’ve been pretending to know so you don’t look out of the loop. Your friends start cheering you up to take the mic. You are petrified. Do I do it? Do I not? This [...]

We make the mistake as Christians assuming that what God desires for us to do, or not do, has anything to do with “his happiness with us.” Everything God commands us to do has everything to do with what He wants FOR us. Jesus came to give us an abundantly blessed life, and the way [...]
The post SG: Simple Disobedience appeared first on Vertical Life Church.
Impulsive decisions are the catalysts for many difficult situations we find ourselves in. This has huge ramifications, because for many of us, we are one impulsive decision away from making or breaking the great purpose that God has in store for us. Join us as we explore the promises of God that will help us slay the giant of impulsive decisions.

This world is in desperate need for change. But before it can be changed, it needs an army of change makers to rise up to face the challenges set before them. Many of us wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and brace ourselves for the same ole same ole not thinking our situation could be any different. But what if…you dared to dream? What if… you put feet to that dream? What if… that dream inspired others to join you in making that dream a reality? What would your neighborhood, your city, your state, and or your country look like? God has a great purpose for each of us. He has given us His Spirit to accomplish that great purpose. We need to stop with excuses. The excuses that give us a reason to give into fear and crush our dreams. We have to realize that the time for change isn’t coming. Its here. Now is the time. Now is the time to step out in faith and make a difference!

Christmas is arguably one of the biggest holidays of the year. One of the focal points is a decoration called “The Nativity,” with scenes that are displayed depicting solemn characters in a serene setting almost too perfect for words. So, when we hear songs like “Away in a Manger, and “Silent Night,” we create a picturesque image of what the birth of the most influential person in the world looked like. The reality is, that the real story was nothing like that. The event we celebrate in one night actually took place over the coarse of several years, and it’s a dark story to tell; a story full of adversity, and underdogs. But one thing is for certain…It’s NOT a cookie cutter Christmas story. And if you open your heart and mind as we dive into the incredible event, it could change your life forever.
