Christianity is simple: God is good and loves you, but because of your sin you've been separated. Through Jesus, that rift is repaired. That's it! But for some reason, people can complicate it. Rules, conditions, new interpretations, measurements of how we're doing -- all these obscure the heart of our faith, which is God's grace. How can you rediscover the essence of Christianity, and be set free from burdensome legalism?

Who is Jesus to you? An admirable philosopher? An interesting literary figure? Not everyone believes Jesus is who he says he is. But for those who regard him as the Lord, that means he deserves all of our attention! Is there something in your life that has distracted you from the power of Jesus Christ?

There are a lot of belief systems in the world -- perhaps as many as there are people! Most of these systems involve doing good versus doing bad, and lifting yourself up by your bootstraps. The good news is there is freedom available to you, and it's not through something that has already been done for you! How can you be free from an endless cycle of fruitless false religion?

The Christian life is often described as a race. It has a clear start and finish, but your life is found between these two endpoints. How can we maintain our pace, our purpose, and our course amidst all the challenges? Are you inspired or exhausted? How can you move forward with enthusiasm and joy?

Jesus certainly displayed purpose in His time on earth. The Gospels reflect a clear and powerful mission lived according to a masterful plan. But having purpose is not enough -- even the worst villains of history lived with purpose! -- so knowing your purpose is essential. How can you understand God's purpose for your life, and how will you live it out?

Examining the life of Jesus shows us not only who He is, but what He does. Rather than being a checklist for Christians, these 7 observations of Jesus' life are hallmarks of a life that is dependent on God's power. What kind of habits do you have now? How does your life line up? Are there things you wish were different?

Christian bear the name of Christ, and in doing so reflect Christlike qualities -- or at least that's the plan! Taking a good look at Jesus reveals the greatest servant in history, yet we call him the King of kings. As God's people, how should we live out the attitude of Jesus in our lives? This is an essential question for every Christian -- how are you considering it today?

The birth of Jesus changed history forever, but as we recount it, it is easy to overlook who the participants were: regular everyday folks. Out of all the people that God to make the announcement to, He chose shepherds on a hill. Why do it this way, and what does this mean for us?
