One of the deepest pains of the wilderness may also be one of its greatest gifts:

In the wilderness, we decrease so that God may increase—and somehow, in Him, our lives become larger than they were before.

How does God meet us in our lives when we are in dry seasons?

Exodus 3 shows us a great picture of how God generally meets us in the wilderness through a series of experiences.

The Burning Bush Pattern

Wilderness Reduction | God strips away false securities. Our world gets “smaller”

Holy Interruption | God disrupts our ordinary view of reality.

Expanding Reality of God | God reveals Himself as bigger than we imagined.

Transformed Mission | God sends us back as different people.

Jesus gets into an interesting argument about hand washing

-- and it teaches us a lot about what it means to be a "holy" church.

The term "holy" can often seem self-righteous, but that may be because we are missing what Jesus teaches in these very verses. If we can grasp this, holiness will make us incredibly loving, humble and sacrificial -- it will be like a new creation!

Jesus tells the people demanding a sign that they will only get one sign: the sign of Jonah.

What they may not have realized was how loaded this phrase was when Jesus spoke it.

As we celebrate the resurrection, we embark on a journey to explore the layers of Jesus' words, what they teach us about resurrection, and how this makes a difference for us today.
