Why It’s Hard to Own Your Mistakes

One reason people act this way is because their self-worth is based on a public image of excellence, meaning they can only feel good about themselves by projecting a (false) sense of perfection. Behind the veneer of their public confidence lies a deep insecurity about never being good enough.

Learning to Lead by Serving the Master

This past week, our elders and ministers began a new Sunday morning class to help address that issue.

Two Great Outreach Ministries

One of the things I personally love about World Bible School is that it’s a great way to connect people who love God and want to make disciples with people who are already seeking God and want to study the Bible. And since it’s all online, it’s an easy way for disciples of Jesus to get involved in leading people to Christ, even if your free time is limited.
