Is faith blind? Do you "just have to believe?" Nope and we should stop telling people that. Faith in Jesus is much better.

Part of being a Jesus follower is going and making more Jesus followers, making disciples. We proclaim the Good News of Jesus to the people around us in word and deed. Loving where we live requires the Great Commandment PLUS the Great Commission

Love your neighbor. Sounds good, but what exactly does that mean? What does neighbor love look like and who exactly is my neighbor? Jesus tells a story that that shifts the conversation on neighbor love from who is my neighbor to how do I neighbor.

It can be easy to think that we are good at loving our neighbors, until we realize that Jesus command to "love our neighbor" includes "that" neighbor too. Loving where we live means loving those who aren't like us, those who disagree with us, even those who are our enemies. Love your neighbor as yourself and love your enemy as your neighbor.

If you are a follower of Jesus, what should be top priority in your life? Someone once asked Jesus a similar question: "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" His answer? Love God and Love people. Nothing is more important.

How should Jesus followers view self defense? Is it ok? Is it not? Where do we draw the line?

We love the work Compassion International does and are excited to partner with them in releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.

Jesus at the center

While Christianity draws many roots from the Old Testament, the early days of the New Testament church were marketed by radical decisions that would set it on a new trajectory. These decisions continue to shape and challenge the church today.

Jesus was irresistible. People from all different backgrounds were drawn to him. But as the early church was forming, there was a tendency to go back to their familiar old religious traditions rather than live by Jesus’ new covenant. Sometimes we do the same.
