“The Compassionate Life”

“The Compassionate Life”

“His Love is on Every Page”

February 12, 2023

“The Good God”

“The Good God”

October 17, 2022

When you think about God, what comes to mind? Distant? Disinterested? Judgmental? Unfortunately, the picture we have of God in our minds is sometimes one of a God we’d rather ignore. But we can be assured that this picture of God is far from the…

“The Fellowship of the Mat”

“The Fellowship of the Mat”

August 14, 2022

We’re wired for relationship and were created for community. The kind of friends we need are ones who love God and love us—and who help us to love God more. Rarely does a person drift into spiritual friendship. It takes determination…

“Digging Up Hope”

“Giving is Living”

“Giving is Living”

Does money tell you what to do? Does it dictate how you’re going to live your life? Do you put your confidence in it? Do you feel peace only if there’s enough cash in the bank or if your investments are doing well? Whether you have a little or a…

“The Other Son”

“The Other Son”

“The Wrong Question”

“The Wrong Question”

Many people, even people who aren’t followers of Jesus, know the basic plot points of the parable of the good Samaritan, and its application to live a life of compassion. But Jesus’ parable asks more from us than most people think. Jesus’ command…

“When Doubt Is In the Driver’s Seat”

“When Doubt Is In the Driver’s Seat”

At the end of John 20, Thomas—unlike Mary and the other disciples—didn’t see the physical evidence of Jesus’s resurrected body on that first Easter morning, and he doubted news was real. But perhaps it’s unfair that we call him “doubting Thomas”…

“Never Too Late”

“Never Too Late”

February 28, 2021

Jesus came into the world to tell humanity that the Kingdom of God is available now. And it’s free! But if you want to live in it, you’ve got to give up an old way of living. And the good news is that God’s grace can help. Jesus did not come to…

“More Than You Were Looking For”

“More Than You Were Looking For”

January 31, 2021

John 18 gives us a glimpse into the complexity, nuance, and multi-dimensionality of Jesus. Jesus is God leaping off the pages of scripture, into humanity and into your struggles and pain. He is the Jesus who falls to the ground and prays for you …

“Giving Is the True Having”

“I Like The Personal God, I Don’t Like His Personal Accountability”

“I Like The Personal God, I Don’t Like His Personal Accountability”

Many followers of Christ have a favorite verse they cling to and it becomes their go-to in times of adversity or struggle. But do you have verses you find you would rather avoid? Maybe you want the God from Philippians 4:19 to ‘supply all…

“Saving the World”

“Saving the World”

In today’s culture, we place a high value on being busy and working hard. To be sure, the bible calls us to glorify the Lord through our work by pouring our hearts into everything we do (Col. 3:23-24; 1 Corinth. 15:58). But too often…

“What Do You Really Want?”

“What Do You Really Want?”

“The Wonder of Bearing Burdens”

September 18, 2018
