The Door

Doors have many functions, and Jesus, in His sovereignty, does many things for us. Jesus said, “I am the door.”

Discipleship

Being a disciple really just means learning from a master teacher. While we learn about God, what are we doing with that knowledge? Are we passing it on to others? Are we being invested in by more mature Believers? Discipleship is about multiplication, not addition.

God is Good

Good is good… all the time. All the time… God is good!

God’s Sovereignty in Our Posterity

Most people skip over the genealogy in the Bible, but understanding how God used an ordinary girl from the wrong side of the tracks to change the world gives us hope and purpose.

How to Leverage Conflict

Conflict is inevitable. We are all passionate about things, and when our passions go unmet, it creates conflict. There is a way to manage and leverage conflict that honors God and honors our spouse.

The Wonder of God’s Name

God is wonder, and Christmas speaks to that unlike any other time of the year. Understanding His character helps us understand His wonder. Understanding His wonder helps us experience Him like never before.

The Prodigal Son

The story of the prodigal son is a popular parable in the Bible. While most people focus on the son, it’s pretty interesting to look at this from the perspective of the father. What an amazing display of love, grace and mercy. And guess what? Our Heavenly Father has all those qualities to the max.

Reconciliation

Moses gave a law that most of us learn as a kid. Jesus comes and says it’s not just about the action, instead it is mainly about the heart. Don’t murder, of course. But don’t even be angry, rather be reconciled. Jesus could say this because He is the greatest reconciler of all time.

 

The greatest sermon ever recorded was the sermon Jesus gave on a mountainside. The Sermon on the Mount starts and ends with the Gospel. Everything in-between is what it looks like to live a Gospel-infected life. Jesus gives us practical life lessons, not to prove we are Christ followers but because we are Christ followers.

Responding to God’s Love

Jesus loved us so much that he suffered the cross and ultimately defeated death on our behalf. How should we respond to that kind of love? Glory. Grace. Gall.

One truth that we can’t get over is this: the Creator of the universe loves us. Because of His love, we can be connected to Him in relationship. Because of His love, we can love others. Because of His love, we can have the boldness and power to live like Jesus. For God so loved… you!
