Leading New Believers Through Tithing
At Life.Church, we like to say we will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ. That might include things like using movies or popular TV commercials in church to illustrate truths from the Bible. As a result of being really focused about reaching the lost, we often have a lot o...

Thriving marriages don't happen by accident, and there are several ways for churches to foster healthy, vibrant relationships. Marriage mentors, for example, can leverage their experience, insight, and wisdom to encourage younger couples to put Christ first and overcome any obstacles. In this brief...

Why Lead a Married Small Group?
Joining a small group is a great opportunity for married couples to grow, learn, and experience life together. But leading a small group can open a couple to a whole new level of blessings and joys. To encourage potential leaders to take the plunge, Dr. Kim Kimberling discusses the importance of...

Behind the Music: "We Lift You High"
What we've learned: We were created to worship God. It was His original plan for us, to commune with Him and praise Him and bring Him glory. As worship leaders, we're tasked with creating the songs and opportunities for God's people to serve Him through music. Try to find worship element...

Behind the Music: "All Around"
It’s easy to claim the title “Christ follower” when things are going good in our lives. But what do we do when we face true adversity? We look to the cross. The accompanying resources and YouVersion Bible Plan for “All Around” encourage readers to examine the Bible as a growing, living par...

What the Church Should Learn from Google
Most of us would say Google is pretty big. Eighteen years after it launched its search engine, it is one of the top 10 most well-known brands in the world. But despite how big it’s become, Google’s leaders continue to think bigger. Instead of looking back at what they’ve accomplished, they look...

How to Talk with Teens about Suicide
Teens deal with serious, real-life issues in their day-to-day lives, which is why we aren’t afraid to tackle heavy topics at Switch, our youth ministry at Life.Church. Suicide can be a tough topic to address, but starting the conversation with students might help alleviate some of the stigma and...

Message Support: Things Jesus Never Said
Jesus shared a lot of wisdom in the Bible. And lately, He also seems to share a ton on Instagram, on screen-printed mugs, and in those images your aunt posts on Facebook, too. But how much of it is true? Where’s the line between what He actually told us, and the Things Jesus Never Said ? Jesus...

Letting Go of What People Think
Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget what God thinks about you. My mom taught me the common truth, “You can’t please everyone.” From my observation, ministers seem to be more vulnerable to people-pleasing than most professions. In reality, we s...

The Code: What Matters Most
The Code. It's what we call our set of core values here at Life.Church. This is different than our statement of faith—it has more to do with focus and perspective. As the church grew and changed over the years, we realized...

Behind the Music: "Irresistible"
What groups do you think are least worthy of your time? What about unworthy of love? It’s natural for us to draw the line somewhere, but there’s no stopping the irrational love of Jesus. That’s the heart behind “Irresistible,” a lighter, pop-tinged anthem with a catchy chorus. Use the accompany...

The Death of the Five-Year Plan
When I started in ministry two decades ago, everyone I knew was making five-year plans. While thoughtful planning is wise and biblical, I’ve changed how I plan. Instead of planning for specific buildings, campuses, staff roles, and outreach, I plan to be prepared for opportunities that I can...
