2 Samuel 6:13-22 In life we can be so worried about who is watching and what they think that we have adapted our movements to the expectations of others. The question we ultimately have to answer is: Who are you trying to impress?

Psalm 8

Exodus 14-15 If you want your heart to be healthy, you have to exercise. If you want your heart to be strong and send life coursing through every part of your system, you have to sing - preferably loud and often. It's science.

We all want to win. After all, winning is better than not winning. In a game a win is defined, but life is not a game. And winning in the most important areas of our lives isn’t always clear. So, how do we win?

Luke 5:17-24 We celebrate what God did. We talk about what He’s going to do, but we often get stuck on figuring out where God is today. What are you willing to do for your friends to get to Jesus?

Luke 10 & John 13 If you want to be in a right relationship with God, how does that happen? Jesus gave us a new command that changed everything.

Matthew 16:13-18 and Luke 22:14-20 New things don’t generally bother us until we realize it means letting go of old, comfortable things. How does what was fit with the story Jesus is writing?

John 6:2, Matthew 26:55-56, Acts 2:42-47 There was something irresistible about the faith of Jesus’ followers in the first and second centuries, and yet there is something incredibly resistible about the faith of his followers today. What gives?

1 Samuel 15:22-23 Obedience: the struggle is real, and it isn't new. Why are we disobedient, and why should we choose obedience? What are the consequences of obedience?

John 4:1-15 We keep trying to make the same water better - what if there is actually better water?

Romans 1:28-2:4 Do you find yourself always striving to be better and failing? What does being better even mean, and what does God have to say about it?

John 15:12-17 We love God by loving each other, but HOW do we do that? How do we really love each other well??

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 For too long the church has been know for what it's against. We want to be know for what we are FOR. So what does that really look like?

Romans 8:26-32 There's a difference between what we want to do and what we will do. God flips this whole paradigm on its ear. What if we GET to?!?
