August 02Malnourished Lions Die
The Psalms are poetic and hit all the feels. But is that their main goal? Jesus said he came to fulfill the Psalms. How so? This week we look at Psalm 34 which includes King David faking insanity, a malnourished lion, and Jesus filling us with hope amidst personal hurts and heartbreaks.

July 26The Gospel and Money
It's impossible to scroll without seeing something revolving around money. Amidst that ever-present reality, the Bible continually anchors us back that God is the one who provides, entrusts, and satisfies.

July 19Remembered Through God's Forgetfulness
Psalm 103 tells us that God separates from our sins "as far as the east is from the west." How does he do it? By sending his son to bear our sins and die a death that was meant to erase its victims from memory. And by forgetting our sins through Christ, God grants us the only form of significance that really lasts: remembering us forever in Christ.

July 12 When God is all you have, God is all you need.
Envy convinces us we've lost because someone else has more. The gospel reminds us that if we have Christ, we already possess the only treasure that lasts.

July 05How Can I Be Remembered?
Psalm 127 points to how a house and a household can be built in God’s favor, but in the process exposes our own vanity. Jesus fulfills Psalm 127 in surprising ways that remind us that while we may be forgotten by man we will never be forgotten by God.

June 23 Being Tricksy with Jesus
The religious leaders seriously try to trap Jesus with impossible riddles and questions during the Jesus’ last trip to Jerusalem. Jesus’ answers are astonishing, and fully applicable to us today.

June 14When Jesus Talks About Taxes
A simple question about taxes becomes one of the deepest conversations Jesus ever has about human identity. When He asks whose image is on the coin, He is leading us to a bigger question: whose image is on us? This week we'll explore what it means to belong to God, why we've forgotten our true source, and how Christ restores what sin has distorted.

June 07 The Authority of Love
"Who made you the boss of me?" is not just a modern question, but also the very question Jesus faces in the temple courts. As religious leaders challenge His authority, Jesus reveals that everyone serves something and that the real issue is not whether we have authority in our lives, but where we've placed it. Through a surprising parable, He shows us an authority unlike any the world has ever known.
