The Poor in Spirit
The Christian life is not us moving up and to the right, but rather a series of peaks and valleys, ever progressing us forward on the long journey home to God. The first beatitude in Scripture is the doorway to the kingdom. We do not enter by any other way than moral bankruptcy. We enter with not...

Bless the Lord
At the pace we run, it is easy to pass by and forget all that our God is doing around the world and right here in Flower Mound, Texas. We bless God for the forgiveness of sins, the healing of diseases, the redemption of stories, and the hearing and answering of our prayers!

Compassion
Whether rich or poor, sick or healthy, well-to-do or the lowest social class—where there were people, the heart of Jesus was there. Wherever there was human life, Jesus approached those towns, villages, and alleys of destitution with the visceral, overwhelming love of a brother.

This is the Gospel
The gospel, with all its good news, revelations, and illumination, is not simply the door we walk through—it is the whole house. For the believer, it is where we spend the entirety of our days on this side of salvation. In the majority of moments where the gospel is preached in the Bible, the aud...

Discipline
We must not be like those who have received the gospel but don't want to be inconvenienced with suffering or costly discipleship—resistant to obedience. We embrace discipline knowing it rarely feels like a burden when we are in love.

Deeper Still
We often look to others and their giftings and compare them to the ways God has wired us. We question our purpose and wonder if this is all there is. But the body can only function with a diverse variety of parts. God uniquely wired each of us, and the more complacent we are in our giftings, the ...

Made Alive
Jesus makes the invisible God visible. He ranks above all creation, and no one is like Him. All things have been created through Christ and for Christ. He sustains us and holds it all together. He has you in His hands.

Grow & Gather
While the world offers disintegration, Jesus Christ provides soul-level integration. So we look to Him, and we labor to see Him rightly. We behold Christ in His glory, seeking to grow more like Him and to gather together those who need Him.

Discipleship
We belong to a vast, intricate web of discipleship. Today, we walk in faith because other believers were faithful in their day to disciple others. So we too press on, growing in maturity and grace while carrying on the legacy of discipling others.

"Make Disciples" Weekend Service
The kingdom of God does not advance through programs, but people. The priority and the focus of the Church today is to make disciples of Jesus. There is a litany of good and right things in the world to take part in and give our attention to, but the primary role of the follower of Jesus is to ma...

"Love People" Weekend Service
The body without water cannot perform. It cannot take the spontaneous extra mile. It cannot care for others. It turns inward. Likewise, our spiritual bodies cannot serve people when we are not connected to the source of Life, our God. You cannot drink from an empty well. Abide in Him, replenish, ...

"Love God" Weekend Service
God created the world and everything in it, and on the seventh day He rested. In the law given to Moses, God set aside the seventh day as holy, a day for His people not to provide for themselves, but to worship and delight in God Himself, their provider. It serves as a reminder that life is more ...

Grace
Creature to the Creator, the only thing we contribute is our need. We cannot earn the love of God. His grace is the unmerited favor we receive in Christ Jesus. It is the free affection of God.

Contentment
As a counter to the prevailing Stoic view that satisfaction and stability are found within oneself, Paul tells the Philippians he has found the secret to contentment. The secret is outside of the body and fully in Christ. We can live in plenty or in want, in safety or through tragedy, and can do ...

Rejoice
Theology has to be lived out. It is lived knowledge, not knowledge for knowledge's sake. Paul has been unpacking humility, maturity, and faithful Christian living, and now is the time for actions. So, first things first, Paul says to rejoice!

Balance
Like a boxer keeping step, making offensive advances and defensive counter steps, the believer works in balance. We are humble yet audacious. We forget what slows us down and remember what pulls us forward. We yearn for the destination but keep our steps in the right direction.

Confidence
Putting no hope or assurance on human effort, we rejoice with the family of God and keep an eye out for those that would lead us away from the confidence we have in Him.

Good Work
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we put our faith into action, working out our Salvation in the real world. We exchange complaints for blessings, excuses for confession, and seek unity in the church—that we might shine like stars in the darkness.

Affection & Confidence
Paul begins his letter to the Philippians with deep gratitude, joy, and affection. He is confident that God will finish the good work He has started there among them.

Fear of God
How might we stand in His holy place? We lay down idols. We remove any hindrance between God and us. We hate our sin and fear God. Give us clean hands and pure hearts, O Lord.

Single-Minded
Head knowledge does not lead to revival. It makes great kindling. It makes for a hoisted and ready sail. But we ask the Spirit of the Living God to be the fire and the wind. With all our efforts wholly dependent on Him, we prepare to set aside three days as a sacred assembly to the Lord.

Below the Line
The anxiety of evangelism fades when we evangelize. We move conversations from the surface to serious matters, and ultimately to the spiritual. We explain the gospel, we let the Spirit move in power, and we live out our faith by example that people may be drawn in and saved.

No Barriers
There are obstacles to evangelism everywhere—digital noise, politics, scandal, cultural Christianity. We seek to be like the men in Mark 2, who saw a brother in need and did whatever it took to get him to the feet of Jesus. Lord, stir us to be this bold.

The Good Shepherd
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, tended His flock and sought out His lost ones at the expense of His reputation and, ultimately, His death. He will stop at nothing to care for His people.

That You May Know
The finished work of Jesus provides light in the darkness, assurance through doubt, and an anchor through the storms. We, who are in God, have communion with Him, and this communion leads to confidence.

Faith that Overcomes
To love God is to keep His commands. And His commands are not a burden, but an easy yoke. We love God and those born of God. We hold fast to our confession of faith, knowing that it is this faith that overcomes the world.

Love over Fear
Christian, test what you believe, ensuring it aligns with the gospel of Christ. Embrace this lineage of faith. Lay aside fear and dread. For God is love and He loves us. Now go and love others in the same way.

Children of God
God loves us so much that He calls us His own children. One day, we will see Christ in all of His glory and be made like Him. With this hope in mind, we purify ourselves until His return.

Holding Fast to Christ
This is the final hour, and many antichrists are here or have come. So we hold fast to Christ and call on the Holy Spirit for power, courage, and an overflow of sustaining joy until the end.

Who Do You Love?

A Purpose
You are not the main character in this story, but you have a vital role to play. There are no seat fillers at the table of God. He has given us a purpose and a part to play. He does not need us, but He wants us. So we show up, seated confidently, and live out the calling on our lives.

A Place
God is involved in the “where” of our lives. He has appointed the times and boundaries for us all. There is a reason we live where we live and work where we work. He built us to belong and has called us to a place.

Advent of Love
We are born with the need to be loved—a need we never outgrow. We either seek to satisfy that need rightly, or we distort it disastrously. The advent of Christ is true, perfect, sustaining love coming for all people.

One New Thing
The kind of diversity the early church experienced was previously impossible—like stuck with like, and kind with kind. But through Christ, every tribe, tongue, and nation became one people, with one pursuit, for the one kingdom.
