Our beliefs affect how we conduct our life: every relationship, every decision, every reaction, which is why it is critical that we know what we believe, and that our beliefs line up with God’s Word. Otherwise, our beliefs will continually derail our life, leaving us disappointed and frustrated. Find out how you can get your beliefs back on track.

We all want to live a happy life, so does God, but stuff is holding us back. Just like the Israelites in Exodus, he's taking us to a good place, but we must follow him in order to get there. Getting to a great place in life hinges on our willingness to deal with our issues.

So many of us have deleted ourselves off the list of those Jesus loves and cares for because of the lives we’ve lived, just like the woman in Luke 7. After an encounter with Jesus, though, that can all change, as it did for her. We can begin to discover the truth that we are all worthy of love.

If God's Word is true, and he loves us enough to let his Son die for us, and he holds all power, then why do we experience so many painful things? Who is really responsible for the problems in the world and the pain in our life?

God has provided an incredible gift to help us live and enjoy this life to the fullest: His Holy Spirit. Cyndy will share thoughts about who the Spirit is, how he works in our life, and how to discern his voice from other voices. God really does speak to us.

While we normally hope and pray God will let us avoid the fire, there will, no doubt, be times he allows us to go through it. When he does, he goes with us. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s choice to face the fiery furnace will inspire our faith to trust the One True God.
