It isn't enough to talk about reading the Bible, we have to actually sit down & read it.

Watch @HonestYouthPastor give some really simple, practical tips for studying your Bible.

Jesus says, "I came into the world to bear witness to the truth."

But what does He mean?

And what does that mean for us. 

Take a look at our latest blog post to learn more about what God is calling us to in this phrase.

Jesus has called us out of death to live. 

Don't run back to the the dead things, run to the the things that bring life. 

 Don't work to gain favor with God, work to rest in his unending, never giving up, always pursuing, unimaginable grace.

There is a story going around the internet about Vincent Van Gogh, the famous artist, that later on in his life, he wanted to eat yellow paint. 

He said that he hoped it would make him happy, because yellow is a happy color. It might be a true story, might not be. It doesn't really matter. The deeper truth is the same. 

We put together a list of things that are really important to us, we can even call them our DNA.

I always start the year off with a ton of goals & resolutions. And 2019 was no different. 

You get it.And every year, right around December 26th, it all starts to set in. 

I didn't do anything I set out to.I mean I did some of it, sort of.But not like I hoped I would.I failed...

This is something that we have been thinking about for awhile. 

But before you get frustrated, or confused you should click below and just give it a read. 

We think this is a pretty important read.

Want to know who the saddest character in the Bible is? His name is Demas.

You might be thinking, "Demas? Who the heck is Demas?"And you aren't alone. Most people probably don't know who he is. 

Yet, he is truly one of the saddest stories in the entire Bible

I recently preached a sermon on the passage in Psalm where it reads, "Be still & know that I am God."

But I think I got this verse wrong for a long time, check out this post & see what I learned!

In Revelation 4, John tells us what he sees in his vision of heaven. And it's nuts.

We see people throwing their crowns at the feet of God. But why?!

That phrase may be super jarring. "Wait, why would you say that my best isn't good enough?! That is terrible."

But what if that is the best news ever? What if that is exactly what you need to hear?

The last words of Jesus on the cross were this phrase: Tetelestai. 

It is Greek for "It is Finished!" But what did he mean? And why is that important for us today?

So Adam & Eve they eat this fruit in the garden and all hell breaks loose. 

Was God surprised? Did this mess up God's plan?

Why is it so easy to believe in things? Werewolves, the lochness monster, and Sasquatch. People actually believe in them. 

But Jesus? That is way harder.
