We often have a hard time admitting when we are wrong. If instead of reacting like the world we learn how to experience godly grief in 2 Corinthians 7:2-13, then even our missteps can be an opportunity to grow.

Even though it hurts, our wrongs need to be recognized and confronted. In 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, we learn why sin needs to be addressed.

Repentance is foundational to the Christian life. In Romans 2:1-11, we are challenged to not simply identify others' sin but to accept God's kindness to change our own lives.

There are things we all do...and they are killing us. In Romans 1:18-32, we are told what they are, and why we need to change.

As we study Esther 1-2, we will discover how God is still there, even when He is not mentioned. This is “Esther’s Missing God”.

No matter how old we are or how long we have been Christians, God wants us to keep growing. As long as we do, we can be sure of better things, as Hebrews 5:11-6:12 tells us.

God defines what makes someone a mature Christian much differently than many of us do. In Hebrews 5:11-6:3, we are given the foundation our new lives are meant to be built on.

Christians are meant to grow! In Hebrews 5:11-14, we learn that takes practice.

Scripture describes new Christians as "newborn infants"...but we are not meant to stay that way. As Paul makes clear in 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, we are meant to grow as we work with each other and God.

Sometimes, we could really just use a fresh start. More than anything, that is what Christianity is all about, as we see in 1 Peter 2:1-12.

As we study 1 Peter 5:6-11, we discover God's wonderful promises for what will follow our times of suffering.

While many of us set goals for the new year, Ephesians 4:1-16 gives us an overarching goal we should all be pursuing: become more like Jesus. Sound intimidating? Don’t worry: Jesus has given us everything we need to succeed.

We would all like to see the world change, but it seems so impossible. Yet, the book of Acts shows how the Holy Spirit led Jesus' earliest followers to do just that. If we will follow that example, we can change the world, too.

Are you ready for a change? Just after the apostles preach about our Risen Savior for the first time, we see in Acts 2:37-47 how incredible change in our lives can be possible.

We don’t have all the answers. Sometimes we doubt. Yet, if we will let Jesus reign in everything and make it our mission to lead others to Him like He commands in Matthew 28:16-20, lives will change forever.

From beginning to end, Jesus was focused on making disciples. In John 1:29-51, we see how lives change when we follow Jesus.
