We all feel anxiety about the future. What if something you are really hoping for didn't happen for the next 10 years? That's a scary thought. But God knows the future. His plans are good for you. There is no need to fear. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Can you trust the Bible? There is an incredible amount of evidence that says you should trust it. And in world where you don't know what is fake or true, we need something that can be trusted to be real and true all the time.

There are many ancient books that did not make it into the final 66 books of the Bible. Some version of the Bible still include these books. Plus, we don't have the original manuscripts and the Bible wasn't written in English. There seems like too many places we could be off. Are we?

What is the Bible? On one hand it's a simple question to answer. But today we are going to dive into the important intricate details that will strengthen your faith. The Bible reveals a very real God who is at work in your life and you can build your life on it!

Starting is hard, but finishing is super important. You have to make it to the end. Finish strong. Hang in there. Grow. Develop!

Rockstars request no brown M&M's. The details matter. The small details of your life help you develop. In Numbers 19, the cow needs to be a red heifer. It needs to be sacrificed in a particular with in a particular place. The people involved in the sacrifice also have specific details to be aware of.

Numbers 17 & 18 highlight important pieces of a puzzle that help us understand how to be right with God. God created a system that the Israelites had to follow and that Jesus accomplished perfectly. Now we trust in Jesus for salvation.

How did collecting sticks lead someone in Numbers 15:32-36 to face the death penalty? This story illustrates for us how important even the smallest decisions are. When we don't get it right, Jesus is our perfect sacrifice.

What happens to your faith when life doesn't go the way you expected? When things get a little difficult? Instead of connecting our relationship with God with the circumstances in our life, connect with God personally and allow him to develop you through the high times and the low times.
