When a Holy God comes, something has to give. When God has moved mightily throughout the history of the church, it is always characterized by prayer and repentance- humility.

Jesus did not answer their question with a question. He did not answer it at all, at least not definitively. Time was not His concern nor was politics. The mission was Jesus' concern.

We've been invited to be a part of the people of God; we've been offered immortality and everlasting life; we've been welcomed into a group of people that includes the prophets and apostles themselves, and not because we could afford to pay the dues- we couldn't.

It is our responsibility to pray that God's will be done. It is not our way, it is God's way.

Let's put this on because it's what God has already been doing. It's who we are: Rooted. Restful. Relational. Life with God on behalf of the world.

Learning to sit in stillness of our unmet desires is the mark of spiritual maturity. Rest begins when we trust that God is more than just the meter of our needs, but that he is loving Father, the only one who can truly satisfy.

But Christ calls us to something different: to be rooted in Him, bearing fruits that last.

On this Easter Sunday, Dr. Marc Donaldson explores surrendering the power of death and embracing the resurrection life in Christ. How can I live each day as a testimony to the resurrection life I have in Christ?

We are all tempted to seek approval from others. Am you willing to choose faithfulness to God, even when it is unpopular? 

We are all tempted to live with a scarcity mindset, even though we know that God's kindgom operates on abundance. The feeding of the 5,000 reminds us that in Christ, there is always enough. Rev. Jacob Joiner reminds us how powerful it is to embrace God's provision.
