Desert Breeze Community Church

Community with people and the God who made us is an indispensible condition of human flourishing. You can only be loved to the extent that you are known. By nature we hide & our pretense keeps us from being completely loved. Ps145:18

To the degree I know that I have peace with God (Rom5:1) is to the degree I’ll experience the peace of God (Phil4:7) ruling my heart to face anything.

If you don’t rest yourself you’ll eventually wreck yourself. There is a kind of weariness even when you rest and a kind of rest even when you are exerting energy. The rest we need is both body & soul.

Are you letting Media Mania strangle your soul? Rom12:2; Ps46:10 Scatter brained/Shallow/Self-absorbed (Narcissistic)

We live in an age where the future happiness and success of our children trumps all other concerns. It is a time where most parents are in a panic to give their children more options and opportunities than ever before. Has parenting become more complicated than it needs to be?

If you’re going to go from burnout to balance you must do first things first because you can’t do it all and time is running out. Unlike money, time cannot be stored and yesterday’s time is gone forever and will never come back. Time is one of our most precious resources.

The more you understand the significance of God completely giving His life for you, the more you can’t help but want to completely live your life for Him. How do you find balance between doing nothing and doing everything?

A crazy busy lifestyle will rob you of intimacy with God & a life without intimacy with God will drive you into a crazy busy lifestyle.

When we are Crazy Busy we put our souls at risk. The challenge is to not let our spiritual lives slip away.

Christmas Eve 2013

Have you ever been so caught up in whatever season you are in, that you have found that your love has grown cold? How do you fight to have love flow through your veins and warm you again? In today's passage from Revelation, we see that the church in Ephesus had abandoned the love they had at first (cf. Eph 6:24,Rev.2:4). While Jesus lovingly walks among the churches and cares for her, he addresses this need to rekindle. May we really hear these words to us today.

How can you know beyond all doubt that you are saved? This is a serious question not just because it keeps some people from a state of fear but it keeps others from being dead wrong.

Because this world was made by a triune God, loving relationships with God & one another are what life is really all about. Loving relationships—especially within the family of God—are among our most powerful means of communicating the gospel.

Anxiety (worry) is the most prevailing quality of our modern culture. God’s will for your life is that you would not be anxious about anything.

Everyone lives for some kind of treasure. Christ is the only treasure worth leaving everything for! (Phil3:8)

How do you grow in your love for God & others, even to the point of loving your enemies? Plunging yourself consistently in the soul satisfying love of God through prayer.

Love Philanthropy? You're receiving so much love from God that you recklessly give it away without expecting anything in return. Christianity is a set of drastically transformed interrelated relationships with God, myself and others.

The more skillful we are at impression management (hiding), the more the healing power of community is diminished and the more we are trapped in our loneliness. People gripped by God’s grace will be people of integrity (openness, honesty & authenticity).
