Dr. David Swanson | John 3:1-5, 4:7-15, 25-26

The woman at the Well was looking to all the ways of the world to meet her deepest longings, but her thirst is quenched in Jesus.

Dr. Paul Gibson | John 20:24-29

It often takes an encounter with Christ to help our unbelief. Take your doubts to God. He's big enough to handle them. And you might be surprised by what happens when you do.

Dr. Jack Peebles | John 9:24-39

For the man born blind from birth, Jesus offers the incredible gift of sight. Even better than this gift of physical sight, is the gift of spiritual sight…a gift of belief!

Dr. David Swanson | Esther 4:9-17

Esther's boldness in going to the King, even saying "if I perish, I perish," was a remarkable moment as she went from pleasing man to pleasing God.

Dr. David Swanson | Acts 9:1-19

Paul has one of the more dramatic conversation experiences, one that offers good news to us. If God can call Paul, He can call any sinner and use that person as His instrument. It also highlights how God uses others as they cross our paths.

Rev. Tanner Fox | 2 Samuel 12:1-7

The story of 2 Samuel 11-12 eventually produced one of the most well known Psalms in the worship book of God’s people, Psalm 51. The Psalm is a picture of the humiliation of the human soul, leading to the humility of human confession, leading to the healing of God’s grace. A transformational process we all need to know but rarely want to experience. What I find beautiful about this story is the way in which God uses a good friend to spark the match that leads to the blazing fire of repentance in the life of King David.

Dr. David Swanson | John 20:10-23

We have a tendency to hang on to things in life "in case we might need them." We can even try to "hang on" to Jesus as if He is just for us. To the contrary, Jesus welcomes us, but then He sends us out into the fullness of Kingdom life. You are meant for more!

Dr. David Swanson | Psalm 30

God transforms the hard things in David's life, his mourning, into dancing - not from happiness, but from joy.

Dr. David Swanson | Matthew 5:5

Meekness is an often misunderstood quality, one often associated with being a doormat. It is not that, but a quality of heart that is humble and other-centered. Like Jesus.

Dr. Jack Peebles | Acts 7:54-60, Matthew 5:10

As our culture becomes more and more hostile to Christian faith, the reality of persecution looms larger.
