When you see the church as small and unimpressive, what do you think? Is it reason to disbelieve Jesus? Or do you see, even in the weakness of his people, the coming of the kingdom of heaven to earth?

Jesus is going to use parables to sift and sort us. This is more important than any personality test we could ever take. Do you know what type of soil you are?

How are you feeling heading into this lockdown? Many of us find our hearts resonating with the psalmist: we are downcast and in turmoil. There are longings unfulfilled. Where can we find hope & joy?

What are we to make of Jesus? Is there enough evidence to really believe? Should we trust someone who keeps telling us of judgement to come?

Jesus has warned us of many times of the danger of judgement. With these startling — and ultimately final — words, he is calling us to sit up, take notice, and take action!

In this passage, the apostle Paul lets us know that even in our suffering, we can be confident that we are "Super-Victors" through Christ who loved us.

Jesus has invited us to come to him for rest. Can we trust him? Who needs this rest? And what kind of rest will he give?

We all desire beauty, but the true beauty does not point us to the creation but to behold the creator who is beautiful. Beholding the beauty of God leads us to worship and delight in His Son Jesus Christ.

We live in a world that wears us down. We’re burdened with worries, fears, responsibilities, and all kinds of things we can’t control. For those who are weak and weary, Jesus offers true rest.

Jesus wants a response from you. So far some people have responded strongly in faith or strongly in opposition to him. But what about those of us who aren’t certain how to respond? What does Jesus want from us?
