Getting Rid of Catastrophic Thinking
Because of the resurrection, our future is secure, freeing us to live with courage, serve others, and walk in lasting hope today.
Fear, Joy, and the First Witnesses
On the morning of the resurrection, two women stood at the center of history—afraid, yet faithful, and chosen to proclaim that Jesus is alive.
Why We Call It Good Friday
Good Friday invites us to pause, remember, and give thanks for the love that changed everything.
Maundy Thursday
We might argue that Jesus didn’t really mean that washing each other’s feet was meant to be a regular practice, but it would be difficult to deny that humble service is to be practiced always.
Spy Wednesday
Holy Wednesday is another opportunity for confession and repentance. Are there areas of your life that you keep hidden that are not in line with the life of a follower of Christ?
Holy Tuesday
As we move together through Holy Week, we have an opportunity to hear the words of Jesus with fresh ears.
Holy Monday
We sometimes forget that Jesus felt many of the same emotions. Maybe he felt some of the joy and excitement of Palm Sunday, but the reality hit on Monday when he walked into the temple and confronted how little spiritual intensity was there.
Following Jesus, Not Personality Types
Jesus’ call to “follow me” is about action, not personality type. God equips all types of people for ministry; our role is to imitate Jesus’ steps and respond in obedience.
The Choice for Peace
Amid anxiety, doubt, or struggle, we have the choice to rely on Jesus. By placing our decisions and burdens in His hands, we receive the rest, hope, and clarity only He can provide.
Discipleship Begins with Compassion
Jesus’ ministry was marked by presence, engagement, and care. Before we seek to reach the nations, we’re called to notice the needs in our neighborhoods and act with love, patience, and compassion.
Jesus’ Rhythm of Life
From withdrawing to grieve John the Baptist’s death to feeding thousands, Jesus showed intentionality in His time. By adopting a similar rhythm of rest, prayer, and service, we can minister effectively without burning out.
When God Calls You Out
From small acts of kindness to life-changing steps of faith, God is always leading. When we choose courage over fear, we step into the purpose He’s prepared for us all along.
Following Jesus Beyond Sides
Jesus didn’t come for the “right” people—He came for everyone. As His followers, we’re called to extend grace, step into uncomfortable spaces, and reflect His mercy to those we might otherwise avoid.
Faith in the Middle of the Storm
Even when life feels like it’s crashing in around us, Jesus is present and in control. Just like the disciples, we’re invited to trade fear for faith and trust that He will carry us safely through.
When Jesus Shows Up Close
As Christ lives within us, we’re called to reflect His love—because we may be someone’s closest encounter with Him today.
Strong and Courageous
Joshua’s leadership reminds us that faith requires both courage and commitment. When we choose to serve God and trust His promises, we can face life’s battles without fear, knowing He walks with us every step of the way.
Leaving the Judge’s Chair
Human nature pushes us to judge others while defending ourselves. But the Sermon on the Mount calls us to a deeper transformation.
Heads or Tails?
Being “the head and not the tail” is not determined by chance but by a life of obedience to God. When believers are given influence, they are called to lead the way Jesus did—with humility, sacrifice, and service.
The Perfect Gift-Giver
Jesus promises that those who ask, seek, and knock will receive from their Heavenly Father. While our prayers are not always answered the way we expect, we can trust that God gives what is best. As the perfect giver, He lovingly provides exactly what we need.
Treasures That Truly Matter
Jesus’ teaching about earthly treasures challenges us to examine what truly matters in life. Accumulating more possessions often brings more anxiety and distraction from what God values most—people and relationships.
