How is the gospel taking root in your life?. We can’t grow our faith in isolation, and it most flourishes when we grow small. We discover our purpose, and we help others discover theirs as well.

This is a really lovely look at the church facade and the history that brought it into place, but more than that, it means a lot that they recognize the dedicated work of the people within the building.
From its founding in 1839 amidst the growth of a burgeoning city, the First United Methodist Church in Downtown Houston has been a beacon of community and faith. Its rich history reflects Houston’s own evolution. Built in 1910, the church’s facade is a stunning example of

God is not just a starter, God is a finisher. Look around at this church. It is easy to look at it and think that all the great things have happened. But God is not finished with us, and he is not finished with this church.

We don’t like to wait, do we? We trust that God keeps his promises, but it is difficult to be patient. But that’s how faith works. We are given just enough light to illuminate our next step.

To show the ways that faith and works are intertwined, Lance tells the stories of churches that stepped out in faith, preparing for a future that was not yet fulfilled - doing the work to bring about the promises of God.

On social media this week, it has been tough to see how Christians have been treating friends and neighbors. It’s the antithesis of what Jesus desired when he took the sins of the world upon him on the cross.

Tomorrow is Election Day. Some things may change, but our mission as Christians will not. We will still be called to “a more perfect union.”. We’re going to wake up and keep loving God with everything we’ve got.

Lance takes the story of salvation, turns it around, and asks us to pray first and foremost that we can be found in Christ – so that Christ can be found in us. Together, we are the Jesus that an unbelieving world can see.

What does it mean for us to be grounded in God through Christ?. The writer of today’s scripture highlights this three different times, to let us know that being grounded is not just important, it is intrinsic, it is the foundation of all things.

Our instincts are to look for trees that are already grown and rest underneath them. But God calls us out of that rest, to take the seeds from those trees and spread them further out. We may not be ever see the fully grown tree, but we are called to sow.

It’s hard to look past what has been into what will be. But we can move into the future unafraid… as long as we remain rooted together in Christ’s love.

God has blessed us all to be a blessing for the world, and we are ready for God to accomplish far more than we could ever ask or imagine. But we only truly become ready by being rooted in love Where...

Sometimes it’s hard for us in times of scarcity to look back on times before, and think that everything that was going to happen has already been accomplished. But even though everything is not what we want them to be, God is not finished with us yet!.

On a Sunday of student-led worship, three of our youth come forward to tell the congregation what they’ve learned about the nature of Jesus, and how the mission of the church has helped them see Him more clearly.

Lance jokes about discovering on social media that the Rapture supposedly happened this week - “I guess we all missed it.” But he talks about living in awareness of a future we know is approaching - how to live today as if tomorrow has already come.

We dance on the edge of mystery - we know we are to be raised from the dead, but we have to accept this on faith alone. Yet if we believe Jesus was resurrected from the dead, we can also believe what we have been promised in Scripture.

There’s a lot of on-the-job training with the Holy Spirit. God equips those who he calls to him. So when God calls you, say “yes.” We have footsteps to follow in.
