If You Can Take It, You Can Make It

IF YOU CAN TAKE IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT

In the movie “Unbroken,” when Louis Zamperini is at a low point, ready to give up running, his brother Pete turns to him and says, ““If you can take it, you can make it. You train, you fight, way harder than those other guys. And you win. You get out from under them. Or… you keep going the way you’re going and you end up as a bum in the streets.” God wants to bless you and give you new levels of victory and freedom, but you’re not gonna get there if you don’t get up and fight for it. In 2023, set your heart to grab ahold of all God has for you and not let go.

WITH JESUS IN ISRAEL

PART 1 - TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

Follow along in this series as Jake shares some of the things that impacted him the most about his recent trip to Israel.

Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) One of the most challenging and humbling aspects of Christianity is this demand to, on the one hand, be ready to face persecution with a smile and, on the other hand, to obey Jesus in all things. The early church understood this profoundly. What about us?

The Real Saint Valentine

THE REAL SAINT VALENTINE

It’s a story of torture, martyrdom, civil disobedience, sexual immorality… and smacking women with dead animals – Oh yes, the shocking truth behind the real Saint Valentine! 😉 Saint Valentine was martyred over 1700 years ago, but the lessons from his life are particularly relevant today. What’s the point of Biblical standards of sex and marriage? Is it ever right to disobey the government? How should we respond to suffering? Is there any hope in the darkness and confusion? What’s more valuable than your physical life?
