Life Church Helena

We all are going to face opposition in life with every opportunity we have. But, just as there is opposition to every opportunity, there is also an opportunity in the opposition we face.

The zig zag in our faith is the ability to keep pressing on even though we are facing opposition. We don't have to let the things that oppose us stop us dead in our tracks, we can zig and zag by faith.

It seems as though hope is something we constantly need to be fighting for. As it's been said, there are no hopeless situations, only people who have grown hopeless about them.

Hope may not always be easy to find in our lives, but it is something we must learn to continually fight for. And, the best person to do that for you in your life is you!

The aim of the critic is to get their voice to become the voice within your heart. You don't have to live according to what your critics say and you can crush the critic within!

An interview with Dr. Len Lantz where we discuss depression and his new book about Christians and depression called "Unjoy".

When we feel boxed in we can become very easily discouraged. But, we can take courage and know that God is making a way for us to go forward.

Fractures in meaningful relationships can be a very difficult season of your life to walk through. With God, there is always hope for healing from past hurts.

The simple way forward is to trust, but that's not always easy when you're facing your greatest fear.

Behind your strength you will find a struggle.

Everyday we are left with the choice to stay as we are or to go forward. When we continue to pursue our dreams, our hearts are truly livin' on the edge.

Our thoughts can take us captive and leave us feeling powerless. But, the good news is, we can challenge them and change them!

We can keep trying to butt our heads up against a wall or accept that some things are just not gonna to change. Instead of being controlled by what we can't change, we can take control and change the things we can.

Everyone has fear, but fear doesn't have everyone. We can live confidently and courageously by faith and continue to face our fear!

We definitely all ask this question in our life. There is no easy answer for it, but we don't have to live like a victim to it.

It's hard not to be stumped by the things that happen to us and others in this life. But, we can always trust that God isn't stumped and is working all things together for good.

There are so many "IF's" in life, and they are usually based in our fears. We can't erase fear, but we can face it and say "even IF".

It is so easy to get caught up in a negative cycle when what we had is taken from us. But, we have a choice, we can focus on what was taken, or take hold of what we've been given.

It's so easy to lose ourselves and not even know it when we go through something traumatic. Finding and regaining the you in you is one of the most courageous things you can do!

It's so easy to get frustrated and upset when life doesn't go how we thought it would. However, that becomes the perfect time for your faith and love to grow and flourish.

We've all been hurt by religion in some way. Christ came to this earth to set us free from the tyranny of all religion.

We have all experienced rejection and we accept all that comes with it. God offers us acceptance, will you accept all that comes with it?

We project in order to protect. Love frees us from having to live in the prison of the projections of ourselves and others.

We place so many expectations on ourselves that can really lead us to a place of frustration. A shift takes place in our hearts when we see that God never placed those expectations on us.

Perfection is not a prerequisite to following God or having a relationship with him. We can embrace our flaws and our faith at the same time.

We can very easily be off in our perception of others, ourselves, and God. We have to fight to see things the way God sees them and it's in this "look" we find our victory.

Rejection is a very painful thing that we all experience in our lives. We want to be able to hold those hurts in a way that can bring healing into our lives and the lives of others.

This doesn't stop with death so you can step into life now. No matter what you're going through, continue to choose your faith over your fear.

There is much suffering and many struggles that can make our lives very uncomfortable. But, we can go through life learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

We all have things that become too much for us to carry alone. We can give it up to God and leave it there.

We don't like to be interrupted, it can annoy and anger us very easily. But, learning to live in the interruption can be a powerful tool to grow in faith, hope and love.

We never know how life will go, so it's best to go with the flow. When we find our flow, we will find the faith we need to grow.

We hurt where we care. If we listen to the hurt we can find the hope in it.

One person that we can really fail to stand up for in life is ourselves. It's not an easy shift to make, but it can be done when we see how God stands up for us as well.

Getting over attitudes of unlove in our hearts can be one of the most difficult things we do. But, if we don't get over it, we will live under it.

This message by Rick Lyman is about the Lord's power to heal our hearts. Finding our healing is about receiving the love that God has for us in Christ.

The longest journey we take in life is the 18 inches from our head to our heart. It's there we find God's love and learn to love as God loves.

To know God is to know love. If we claim to know God we should show this same love to all people.

The cruelest thing we can do is close the door to God's love on others. We are called to love the world around us as Jesus loves the world around us.

Going forward is about first learning to go back to where it all begins.
