Loving God can be hard to be conscious of all the time. Part of God's gift of love is to form our love for Him. He does not do this without our willingness. Our life in Christ is about releasing the love God has already...

Just about everyone has heard a reading from 1 Corinthians 13 at a wedding. Paul's letter to the Corinthians is certainly about love; certainly about their lack of it! This week we explore a familiar passage in its own...

If there is anyone capable of judging us, it is God. Every secret known. Every thought made plain. Total transparency. Instead of condemning us, God makes the choice to love us with a sacrificial love. If God does not...

Love is hard to describe, but we know it when we feel it. The love of God is really not all that different. When we feel the weight of Jesus' gift given to us, we know that we are loved. Accepting that love and living...

We live in uncertain times. True. However, uncertain times are nothing new to the Christian or to the stories of the Bible. The Book of Revelation was written to seven churches during an uncertain time of persecution...

How do we learn to obey God? Is obedience a matter of faith, or is it more about feeling than choice? When Mary is told that she will bear a son and name him Jesus, she is faced with these same questions. Her response...

There is a lot of talk about kings lately. Do we have one? Should we get one? Are public office holders sent by God? Should there be no king at all? Our world is filled with opinions on the subject of kings, government...

Faith is far more than mere religious tradition; it is a deliberate choice to anchor ourselves in God, especially when we face life's greatest challenges. True faith often feels most critical in moments when it seems to...

We all know that people come and people go. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be stewards of God's gifts and to share them with people who are coming and going in our midst. It is especially true when we wonder...

We have all heard the empty platitudes about things being darkest before the dawn. When people are in a place of hopelessness, these platitudes offer little comfort and, worse yet, are just bad theology. Sometimes our...

Life is filled with one new season after another. How do we adapt when the ground beneath our feet begins to shift? What does faith in God look like when there is a new season right in front of us? This week's episode...

What does it really mean to be a community? Relationships are key, but so are other things. Unity, vision, and grace are also part of what makes a community work. This week we explore how healthy, vital communities...

When folks think of being a Christian, we are used to hearing terms like "believer" or “follower." Those titles are certainly true! One of the most essential titles for Christians is "children", namely children of God...
