We all understand there is a brevity to life; one day a loved one is here and the next day they’re gone. The situation is familiar with all to us, whether it’s someone close or someone distant. For that reason (and much more) there should be an urgency in our hearts to answer the question, […]

Each decision we make involves a certain belief about the future. So what if we knew the future precisely? If you knew there was going to be an attack or horrible accident at work the next day, would you go? No, and you’d warn your coworkers as well. Similarly, if you knew there was a […]

Seneca → “Be harsh with yourself at times.” Sometimes. Not always. At certain moments in life, lean into the bathroom mirror, squint your eyes and project pessimism at the person you see. Scripture: Luke 12:13-21 *There were some issues with the recording of the audio in the video and unfortunately the audio quality is poor. […]

To love God is to love our neighbor. But who is our neighbor? Is Jesus referring to the person who lives next to us or is there something more going on here? Scripture: Luke 10:25-37

How is a courageous Christian described? How do we bear witness to faith in Jesus in the face of opposition? How can we stay true/faithful to Jesus? Jesus shares five truths about courageous Christianity with His disciples & now with us. Scripture: Luke 12:1-12

Prayer is very immersive, it demands the whole person, it demands all of you. God wants all of you, the messy, broken parts, the parts you don’t […]

Too often we live our lives apart from a dependence on the Father. One pastor said that inattentiveness is the main reason for a difficult and unhealthy relationship. In the Lord’s Prayer Jesus teaches us how to pray, and foundational to all, it is a reliance upon Him, rather than ourselves. Scripture: Luke 11:1-4

Craig Hamilton, in his book Wisdom in Leading, writes people deserve to know the truth. We don’t want to soften hard, urgent messages with false kindness or phony optimism. In Luke 6:43-49, Jesus shares with crystal clear clarity that who we are on the outside is intimately connected to who we are on the inside. […]

Jesus says the people who are eager to judge/condemn others should take a long look in the mirror and evaluate themselves before they consider going to someone else. No one gives mercy better than the individual who is convinced that they need grace/mercy. Jesus isn’t saying put your head in the sand regarding people’s action […]
