Confidence in God
June 30, 2024
If we trust in ourselves and our resources, we will eventually falter, but those who trust in the Lord cannot be moved. They can rest secure in his sovereign love.
Psalms
Living in Hostile Territory
June 23, 2024
What do we do when we feel like the world we’re living in is not our home? When we feel like exiles in a land that’s hostile toward the things of God? Psalm 120 expresses distress over the way of the world and cries out to God for help.
Psalms
Why We Go to Church
June 16, 2024
Christians voluntarily gather for worship every week, all over the world, as they have for 2000 years. Psalm 122 answers the question why: we go because we belong to God, and we belong to God's people.
Psalms
The LORD is Your Keeper
June 9, 2024
The Christian life is a pilgrimage, a long obedience in the same direction. And on that journey, the LORD is your keeper. But what does that mean and how is it possible?
Revelation
The Lukewarm Church
June 2, 2024
In the last of the seven letters to the seven churches, Jesus delivers the harshest rebuke yet. They are lukewarm and in danger of being rejected. But then, he makes the most incomparable offer: he invites them into intimate fellowship. This letter shows us what kind of relationship Jesus wants with us and how that can turn our whole life upside down.
Revelation
Enduring Faithfulness
May 26, 2024
The church in Philadelphia is described as having "but little power." And yet, out of all these seven churches, it is this weak and vulnerable church that is held up as the one that is loved by Christ. This letter to the church in Philadelphia teaches us an important lesson about what God values in the lives of his people.
Revelation
Resting in Reputation
May 19, 2024
The church at Sardis is the first church that Jesus doesn’t praise in any way. Which is surprising, because they have such a good reputation. But Jesus sees into their spiritual reality, and it doesn’t line up with their reputation.
Revelation
The Tolerant Church
May 12, 2024
The church in Thyatira was a vibrant and fruitful church, but they had a serious problem of tolerating false teaching that led people into immorality and idolatry. We can be part of a church that is doing so well in so many ways, and yet, perhaps there are things that we have learned to live with that Jesus wants to shine a light on.
Revelation
Compromising the Truth
May 5, 2024
How should the church respond when pressured to compromise its beliefs about what is true to better fit in with the culture? Pergamum was standing firm against pressure from the outside. But they had a problem on the inside.
Revelation
Unveiling Persecution
April 28, 2024
The church in Smyrna was being persecuted for their faith, and Jesus tells them that things will get worse. In order to conquer fear and doubt, these Christians needed the same thing that we need today: to catch a glimpse of what Jesus is doing in the midst of suffering. Only then will we find the grace to remain faithful.
Colossians
The Gospel Shapes Community

The Power of the Gospel

Psalms
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.
John
I Came to Testify to the Truth
December 21, 2025
In this Advent sermon from John 18:33–38, Jesus declares the purpose of his birth: to bear witness to it. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the truth that stands over every moment of our lives.

I Came to Do the Will of the Father
December 14, 2025
What happened on that very first Christmas gave us more than a heartwarming story. What happened on that first Christmas changed the world. Because Jesus came to accomplish the very will of God for the world.
John
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.
John
I Came That They May Have Life
November 30, 2025
Advent is season celebrating the coming of Jesus and longing for him to come again. And we learn a lot about why Jesus came from what he reveals about himself. In this passage, he tells us who he is, what he came to do, and how he did it.
James
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.
James
Faith and Prayer
November 16, 2025
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.
James
Establish Your Heart in the End of the Story
November 10, 2025
James calls us to be long-suffering—to endure injustice, pain, and grief without losing hope. That kind of patience doesn’t come from calm apps or techniques; it comes from knowing how the story ends.
James
Money Talks
November 2, 2025
Money is persuasive. It can be used for tremendous good, but it can also misused. This warning about hoarding, withholding, and indulging points us to the joy of giving.

Luke
Our Comfort and Redemption
January 2, 2022
We are made to be satisfied with God, but we are constantly looking elsewhere. Simeon and Anna show us a better way: look to Jesus and wait for him. Wherever you are in life, be ready to welcome his presence. Take hold of him and rejoice, for he is our comfort and redemption.
1 Corinthians
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!
Galatians
Who Belongs at the Table?
September 13, 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.
1 Corinthians
Settling Civil Disputes in the Church
October 9, 2022
When Christians act like the world acts — in this case, taking each other to court — we dishonor one another and we fail to show the world the wisdom of God and the power of the gospel.

The Glory of God and the Good of Others
January 22, 2023
As Paul comes to the end of his long answer to the question of food offered to idols, he addresses some less-clear scenarios the Corinthians might have found themselves in. How should they navigate the gray areas of the Christian life? And how should we?
Matthew
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!
Psalms
Deliverance from Fear
June 2, 2019
David was a man after God’s own heart, yet he had deep flaws and committed grievous sin. The point of his story is to lead us to the true and better King who delivers us from our sin and ushers in the kingdom of God.

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.
