I Urge You to Imitate Me
September 25, 2022
So far, in contrast to worldly wisdom, Paul has been teaching the wisdom of the cross. But he doesn’t just teach the way of the cross with his words, he demonstrates it in how he lives. He points to himself and the other apostles as models to emulate. Because Paul knows we learn by imitation, by following an example. That’s how disciples are made!

The Church Belongs to God
September 18, 2022
The church belongs to God. He prepares work for us to do, he enables us to do it, and he causes the growth. That reality shapes how we view spiritual leaders, how we participate in the life of the church, and what we think the church is.

Wisdom From the Spirit
September 11, 2022
Popular thought is that wisdom is self-gained. If you work hard enough, if you get enough knowledge and experience, if you develop enough skill, you will become a wise person. But in 1 Corinthians 2, the apostle Paul flips this notion on its head. He challenges our definition of wisdom and points us to this truth: true wisdom is something you have to receive.

The Foolish Wisdom of the Gospel
September 4, 2022
One of the main problems in the Corinthian church is that they were living according to worldly wisdom. They were seeing the world just like the world sees the world. So, Paul reminds them of the wisdom of God found in the gospel. The foolish wisdom of the gospel turns our view of the world upside down.

Unity in the Church
August 28, 2022
Unity in the church does not mean everyone agrees about everything, nor does it mean that everyone is right about everything. Rather, Christian unity is centered on humbly pursuing Jesus together as we bring our lives under the authority of his word.

Jesus Is Lord
August 21, 2022
The Corinthian church was a mess, and Paul was writing to address their host of problems. But he doesn’t begin his letter with a rebuke. He begins with a reminder. He doesn’t start by reacting to all their issues. He starts by refocusing them on their Lord and who they are in him.

How God Guides His People
August 14, 2022
We want God to tell us what to do, but instead he shows us who he is. He invites us into a relationship with him so that we can learn and even sense what he wants and where he is leading us. Psalm 25 shows us that we get God’s guidance by getting God.

Let the Nations Be Glad

Fret Not Yourself
July 24, 2022
Don’t fret about what is going on in the world, because evil has an end date. Don’t envy what the world has to offer because that comes up empty. Instead, "delight yourself in the Lord” because He is life that is truly life.

Seeking God in the Wilderness
January 4, 2026
Psalm 63 is David praying in the wilderness. And the amazing thing is how he prays. He doesn’t ask God to get him out of the wilderness, but he simply seeks God himself. And David ends up finding satisfaction and security right there in the wilderness. What if we made this our prayer for the new year? What if it was our prayer for all of life?
Psalms
Trust in God Alone
December 28, 2025
Psalm 62 calls us to trust in God alone—resting in his character and relying on him at all times. Though we often place our trust in ourselves, others, or wealth, Jesus perfectly trusted the Father and delivers us from self-reliance.

I Came to Testify to the Truth

I Came to Do the Will of the Father

I Have Come As Light
December 7, 2025
Jesus came as light because the world is in darkness. Humanity is in hiding, rebelling against God, but the light has come. Darkness is not inevitable. Cynicism is not final. Anyone who believes in Jesus is rescued from darkness.

I Came That They May Have Life
November 30, 2025

Bring Back the Wanderer
November 23, 2025
We are all capable of drifting from God and community, so we must watch out for one another. We are all responsible to bring back the wanderer. When we do this, we join the work of the good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to go after the one.

Faith and Prayer

As James closes his letter, the number one thing on his mind is prayer. Which makes sense, because prayer might be the main application of everything he’s been writing. True faith expresses itself through prayer.

Establish Your Heart in the End of the Story

The Gospel Preserved for You
September 6, 2020
The gospel is not only the gateway to our life with God. It is also the pathway for our life with him. We are prone to add other things that give us a sense of assurance or belonging, but Jesus plus anything else is a false gospel.

Our Comfort and Redemption
January 2, 2022

At Home With God
May 7, 2017
Sex is good, but it is not a good god. Our culture says, “go for it,” and the church often says, “wait for it.” Both views suggest that “it” is the goal – a loving relationship with good sex. The Bible paints a different picture: the goal is God!
