There are times in our lives when we simply get to the point that we say, "I can't take it anymore!" This depression is just too dark. This marriage is just too hard. The job I lost, the family member I buried, the junk I'm going through. Deep down inside your heart you say, "I quit. I'm done." And though you may go through the motions on the outside, you've just had it. Your mind says, "I've got to trust God," but your heart says, "I've heard it all before, and it's not working for me." You begin to drift - from people and from God.

Who is the Jesus of the Bible? What would Jesus say to today's businessman? To a prostitute in one of our red-light districts? To a group of political leaders if he met them at a summit? Or even to Barbara Walters in a primetime interview?

You should, you ought to, you know the Bible tells you to do it - but the thought of actually sharing your faith with another person gives you sweaty palms and heart palpitations. "I'm just not gifted in evangelism," you decide. "It's not for me." But it is!

Frightening to some, freedom to others, singleness is a fact of life for millions of adults today. But many of the issues surrounding singleness are unclear.

Most of us live very complex lives that move too fast, deliver too little, and demand too much. We often succumb to the push and pull of all the demands.

It is possible to break free from the high-speed, high-pressure, high-demand, guilt-producing disease of our lives. The answer is counterintuitive, and it's found in 1 Corinthians 13.

In this series from Ephesians 4, you will learn how true life change can happen to you. You'll be able to identify the barriers that have held you back from receiving God's best, and you'll also learn how to break out of a destructive lifestyle, so you can become the person you've always longed to be. This fresh approach to spiritual transformation is designed to move you from the frustration of failure to the freedom you have in Christ.
