In life, it is nearly unavoidable to meet people we simply don’t like. But as Christians, is that even allowed?

Romans 14 asks us to change what we prioritize in our belief system and to refocus our efforts on reflecting Jesus rather than correcting others.

Romans 13 challenges Christians to accept the fact that all earthly authority is established by God. In our polarized world, this is an incredibly difficult instruction to obey.

We are called to live as sacrifices. Completely surrendering ourselves to God daily. How in the world can we ever do that?

We may have heard the idea that because God sent us His Son, the least we can do is serve Him. But what if this was among the absolute worst reasons to serve God? What should motivate us instead?

Jesus started two traditions that all Christian churches observe in some form or fashion. This week, we celebrate baptism and communion.

The Jewish people were constantly trying to earn a righteousness freely given to them. We do the same thing. But what would it mean to walk in the reality that we are already as righteous as we ever will be?

In light of the truth of the gospel, the first thing we should do is tell others about it.

Christianity is the epic struggle between good and evil, and the belief that Jesus has won on our behalf.

In Romans 7, we find one of the most relatable, human passages in all of scripture. I hope we can be encouraged by Paul’s lament and solution.
