Power Over Darkness
February 13, 2022

Jesus Welcomes Sinners
February 6, 2022
All kinds of people interact with Jesus. They hear the same teaching and see the same miracles, but they respond in very different ways. The religious insiders are measured and distant, but the religious outsiders and sinners come in close. The difference is not their need, but their awareness of their need.

Amazing Faith

Surprised by Jesus

Hometown Rejection
January 16, 2022
In Luke’s first detailed account of Jesus’ public ministry, Jesus returns to his hometown synagogue as the guest preacher. And it goes really well … until it doesn’t.

Christ the Good Shepherd
July 5, 2026
If Psalm 22 is about the cross of Christ and Psalm 24 is about the crown of Christ, then Psalm 23 is about the confidence we can have in Christ.

A Divine Encounter

In this beautiful story, God arranges a divine encounter to take the gospel to just one man. And he does it through another man. And, even though this story has some extraordinary elements, it’s really just the ordinary way God works to bring people to himself.

Gluttony
March 15, 2026
Gluttony is a disordered desire for food or drink that drives us to excess and self-indulgence. The problem is not that we have appetites, but that we are controlled by them. When we remember that our citizenship is in heaven, we are able to enjoy food as a gift and experience it as a foretaste of the great feast to come.

Sloth
March 22, 2026
The original understanding of sloth is much deeper than laziness. Sloth is a spiritual resistance to spiritual progress. It’s a loss of care about the things we should care about most and an avoidance of the very things we’re made for (loving God and loving others). That’s why it’s so dangerous.

Wrath

It’s harmful to us personally, harmful to others, and harmful to our relationship with God. How can we overcome this kind of anger and loosen its grip on our lives?
