There are situations or seasons where we feel hard-pressed. Where we know that life has not gone the way we have wanted it to. Where we wish for a different way for it to go. And in these times we truly wonder where to turn. Part of the beauty of the Bible is that it is brutally honest and vulnerable. As we get closer to Easter, we find that Jesus …

Jesus' question toward the blind beggar--"What do you want me to do for you?"--reflects the core message of the gospel. That is, the good news is about who God is--that He is the One who is delighted in working for us in His mercies and power. It, however, is easy for us to fall into the temptation of Religion that makes us work for God for whateve…

In this passage, Jesus turns our understanding of the world upside down. The people who get to Heaven are not the smartest, the most spiritual, or those who avoid doing really bad things. Rather, it is those of us who acknowledge our desperate need for Him. Jesus responds to our deep need with mercy, grace, and an invitation to the Kingdom of Heave…

One of the enemys greatest tactics is to isolate us and to cut us off from others. But when we were baptized we died to a life of individualism and we were born again into a family of faith.

Our friends who are new to Jesus need to see the good news changing us. They need to see the good news shaping us & forming us & reordering our loves. So what we need, as Thomas Chalmers put it, is 'the expulsive power of a new affection'. Like Zacchaeus, we need to be evangelized! When this happens in us then we are sharing with our friends someth…

Jesus' plan for the world to know His love is that you and I would be the light of the world. In our workplace, home, school, and friendship circle we have the opportunity to shine His light.

Jesus has given us the joy of sharing his love and light with the world. What would it look like to extend an invitation to our loved ones to connect with Jesus? We dive into the story of Phillip inviting his brother Nathanael to "come and see" Jesus. We want to catch a vision of what it looks like to grow a culture of invitation- seeing many new p…

The Parable of the Persistent Widow and the Unjust Judge.In this parable, Jesus teaches his disciples about the importance of persisting in prayer for his Kingdom to come, and for God's justice to be done on earth.

Jesus tells a parable about a Rich Man that challenges each of us to grapple with how we use our money to love the poor. Jesus makes it clear that we will be judged by how we love the poor among us.

The religious leaders in Jesus day thought they had the right picture of God - one who is holy and who never - ever - associates with unholiness. But Jesus shares this well-known parable to confront that picture and turn it on its head. The Fathers heart welcomes ALL people. If you have ever felt away from home, for whatever reason that perhaps onl…

Why would we ever turn down an invitation to a banquet? God has prepared a banquet and Jesus is reminding people of their invitation, but there is a group of religious leaders who are not interested in attending. Jesus is aware that many of us have idols and distractions that keep us from wanting to be in God's banquet. Our invitation is to taste a…
