Righteous Anger in the Age of Outrage
Our culture looks for ways to be offended and seeks revenge on those we disagree with. How can Christians navigate differing worldviews with grace, while still holding onto their beliefs? Who else is better equipped to show compassion than those who have been redeemed by Christ? 2-19-20
Look to the Son
The more we keep our eyes on Jesus, the better we grow. Your desire and ability to face the Son is even more vital to your well-being than a sunflower’s desire and ability to face the sun. 8-8-19
Who is My Neighbor?
An “Us vs. Them” mentality will never advance the Kingdom of God. If we want to reach people, we need to start viewing them as fellow image-bearers. 7-15-19
Let the Waters Rise
Sometimes life is so hard that we feel like we’re drowning. We call out for God to throw us a life jacket, but maybe He wants to teach us to swim instead. 3-25-19
Ride With Me
When we experience something amazing, we always want to tell everyone right away! But the single greatest thing in our lives often seems to be the hardest to talk about. Why is that? 2-22-19
They All Want to be Like Jesus, They Don’t Want to Have to Die
No one ever said it would be easy. No one ever said it would be comfortable. And no one ever said it would be safe. Following Jesus means following Him into battle. And following Jesus means following Him to the grave. 10-19-18
Choosing Barabbas
“How could they choose Barabbas over Jesus!?” That is what we wonder when we read about the trial that led to Jesus’ execution. But actually, we choose Barabbas every day, even now. 8-23-18
Comfortable Christianity
Jesus didn’t command us to pursue comfort. Like the early disciples, you will risk your safety, finances, reputation, and more if you choose to give your life to Christ. I can’t tell you it will be comfortable, but I can promise you it’s worth it! 7-13-18
