2 Thessalonians 1:11 | I Need God

Isn't it nice when things work out how they are supposed to? You do all the things you are supposed to, and you get the desired effect. It's just nice and simple. Why can't life be that way? Why doesn't doing all the right things lead to a perfect, pain free life? If you're struggling with feeling stuck, join Rick and McKenna for today's episode of The Morning Focus. To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power… 2 Thessalonians 1:11

Romans 8:13 | God Defines Good

You know how pain acts as an indicator that there is something going wrong in or on your body? That same idea doesn't necessarily translate over to life and our relationships with God. The enemy wants you to believe that if life is hard, if you are struggling, if things aren't comfortable, then you probably aren't serving God well enough. You probably just don't have enough faith. It's his reverse psychology way of poisoning your view of our Good Father. Join Rick and McKenna for today's episode of The Morning Focus. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:13

John 15:13 | God Understands Sacrifice

Does it ever feel like God is asking you to do something so hard, that He must not understand what He is asking? Like, surely, if He was living here on earth and had to make the sacrifices He is asking you to make He would get why this is so hard- or even too hard. If you're wrestling through thoughts like these this morning, join Rick and McKenna for today's episode of The Morning Focus. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”  John 15:13
