Full of Pride

March 18, 2021 by Tim Sherfy

Every follower of Jesus should be full of pride. Of course, our pride looks different from that of the world. Our pride is in the all-powerful, all-holy, all-loving God of the universe. Pride is only a bad thing if we place it in the wrong sources. But we have Jesus. We serve the King of Kings and I’m proud of that.

I am proud to follow the only One who will never let me down, the One who is the answer to the world’s problems, and the One who saved me from the desolation I deserve. That He knows my name and would care enough to call me to Himself is awesome. There is nothing in this world I could ever achieve that could compare to that.

Who Are You?

May 13, 2019 by Tim Sherfy

Who are you? What defines your life? God says you are His child (Romans 8:15-16). He says you are loved and created in His image (Genesis1:27). You are His son and daughter, and you share in His inheritance alongside Jesus (Romans 8:17). Each of us has unsurpassable worth in the eyes of the Creator and God of the universe. You are not who your boss or your friends say you are.

You are not who your parents or family tell you you are. You are a child of the King, loved beyond measure and priceless in His plan. Your potential is unlimited. But know this: you will never reach your potential if you are letting anyone or anything else define your world or who you are in it.

Death is Certain

August 23, 2018 by Tim Sherfy

It’s a fact of life. Everyone and everything gets old, wears out, breaks down, and dies. When we lose those close to us, it can be a devastating loss. It seems to always come as such a surprise as if we expected the one we loved to be the exception to the rule. They would be the one to cheat death and live forever! Certainly, some deaths come more unexpectedly than others, but considering none of us have the guarantee of another breath, shouldn’t we be doing a better job of cherishing the moments we have right now?

Let’s face it, everything dies. We will die. The key is to prepare our souls first and then help others prepare for that day as well. Death is certain. There is no getting around it, so why do we work so hard to avoid thinking about it?

You Have Gifts

July 9, 2018 by Tim Sherfy

I have a friend who frequently laments they don’t have any gifts to use for the Kingdom. I have to consistently remind them if they have breath, then they have been created with a unique combination of skills, talents, and passions to be used for building the Kingdom of God here on earth. I will say the same thing to you: if you are breathing, you have gifts! No one is here by accident.

While some gifts may be more visible and obvious than others, it takes all of us working together to accomplish the work Christ has given us to do. Never minimize your contribution, because you have the potential to do everything God intended you to do.

Settling for Less

June 18, 2018 by Tim Sherfy

Are you settling for less than what God has for you? Do you even know if that is true in your life? How does one know if they are settling for less if they are not certain about what they have been created to do? I would say if you cannot answer the question of whether or not you are settling for less with an emphatic ‘No!’, then you probably are. People living out their God-given mission know because they are so in tune with God there can be no doubt.

For the rest of us, we either suspect we are settling for less or we know for a fact we are. So, we have a two-fold problem: first, how do we know if we are settling for less, and second, what do we do about it if we are?
