  • Strengthened to Face Anything & Everything (Psalm 18)
    6/18/17. Week 2 in Summer Psalms. Strengthened to Face Anything & Everything (Psalm 18).
    Psalm 18 begins with a prayer that reveals the secret to David's strength:
    "I love You, O Lord, my strength."
    It's one thing to knuckle down in adversity, and endure. That's commendable. It's another and deeper reality to to rise above a hardship with a superior love, a passion in God, with God, and for God, that allows a person to face anything, and everything.

  • Behold: Keep Looking at the Center (Mark 9:1-13)
    5/28/17. Week 26 in the Gospel of Mark. Upon the mountain top three of Jesus' disciples had an experience that was out-of-this-world. They beheld the glory of God, as Jesus transfigured before their very eyes — becoming brighter than the sun. Struggling to make sense of the moment, Peter took a risk and suggested they build three special tents for three significant prophets there: Moses, Elijah, and Jesus.
    What God said in that moment changed everything.
    The Christian life is much more than behaving a certain way, and even more than believing specific doctrines. In Christ we get to behold the glory of God, and in seeing Him, be changed. This is God's Beloved Son, let us listen to Him!

  • Battle Cry: A History with God (2nd Chronicles 29-31)
    5/21/17. King Hezekiah of Judah developed a history with God by taking all his challenges and opportunities and laying them out before God the Creator. In those moments He learned to depend full upon the real King to win all his battles for him and as he was responsible to lead the nation.
    How can we learn from this good king and join in the joy of developing a personal history with God? Consider who looks to you for leadership, how can you turn from trusting in yourself and abilities and cry out to God in the battle?

  • Keeping the Cross in Front of Our Minds (Mark 8:27-38)
    5/14/17. Week 25 in the Gospel of Mark. he call to follow Jesus is better and more challenging than we ever imagined.
    In this scene, the "hinge" point in the Gospel of Mark, we see Jesus flip the script and start asking the questions. Notice how He draws out genuine faith in His disciples.
