You Can Love Like Jesus

May 5, 2020

Jesus died for us while we were in rebellion against God.  Jesus took our punishment on the cross while we were still enemies of God, when the only thing we deserved was eternal separation from God…  So God chose to love us when we were at our worst.  God chose to love us when there was nothing about us that was lovable.  This is the kind of love that must inform our ability to love one another.

The Gospel Centered Church

April 28, 2020

What would God’s reset for the church look like?  I think it might look something like this:  That we would become a Gospel-centered, Jesus exalting, all hands on deck kind of Church where everyone experiences real joy, a confident faith, and deep relationships as we work together to help people become friends, family and followers of Jesus. 

Hope In the Dark

April 14, 2020

If Jesus had the authority to lay down his life and had authority to take up again – then you can trust in the authority of His Word.  You can count on what Jesus says.  And this should give you hope in the darkness.  For when things looked darkest for the disciples, when their world seemed to be falling apart, and when all seemed lost… Jesus rose from the grave, just as he said he would.  And if Jesus did what he said he would do by rising from the dead, you can trust him in whatever he promises.

Five Things God Wants to Tell You

March 29, 2020

This is what our Father wants you to know.  Just as God promised to be with Joshua, He will be with you.  In this age of social distancing, God is near.  He doesn’t change. He is always there.  He is always seeking your best.  He is always pursuing you with His love.  “I will be with you wherever you go”  I will be with you when things look bleak.  I’ll be with you when you feel weak.  “So be strong in me.  Get your courage from me.  For I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be with you wherever you go.”

Finding Peace In the Midst of Turmoil

March 18, 2020

Our God provides protection for our hearts and minds in the midst of the turmoil around us.  He waits to give us His peace, and He gives it in abundance when we come to Him in prayer. So then, prayer is not always about getting what you want, it’s about God giving you what you need.  Prayer is not always about getting out of the difficulties surrounding you, but is about bringing God into your difficulties – it’s about God giving you His peace.

Matthew: Making Room For God

March 10, 2020

To John’s listeners, the message of the kingdom was music to their ears.  To hear that the kingdom was at hand meant a time of peace and prosperity was coming; a time of joy and laughter, and everything good associated with it.  To the average Jew, it was like telling a four year old to go to bed on Christmas Eve, “cause Santa will be here in the morning.”  It was good news.  It was what they’ve been waiting all their lives to hear. 

Matthew: When God Has Other Plans

March 5, 2020

Joseph had no idea that God would turn his life upside down and have him live as a refugee in Egypt.  But God used the evil of Herod for good.   So the next time something ruins your plans, don’t immediately see it as a bad thing.  God may be changing your plans to protect you because He has something better for you.
