Phillippians 1:27-2:18

The incredible irony of practicing humility as a spiritual discipline is that, in looking to serve others and put them ahead of ourselves, it actually draws attention. And when done with the right spirit, humility and unity within a Christian community point to the ultimate expression of humility: Christ's willingness to go through death out of love for us.

Phillippians 1:12-26

New research reveals nearly all Christians agree that coming to know Jesus is the best thing that could happen to someone.

Phillippians 1:1-11

Take a bath, brush your teeth, say your prayers, go to bed. This is a routine children dread, as it means the day of fun and play is over. As we look at our own prayer lives today, do we still dread it and see it as a chore? Or is it something we can joyfully practice each day?

Luke 9: 28-36

The Transfiguration is one of the most significant moments in Jesus' earthy life, and the disciples almost slept through it. But Luke tell us that "since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory." May it be so with us as well.

Matthew 13:31-33, 44-46

What comes to mind when you think of the Kingdom of God? Do you see visions of large buildings, beautiful art, and grand displays of God's glory? Or do you think of something much, much smaller?

Matthew 13:1-9 A farmer goes out to spread seeds, and they fall on four different types of soil which produce four different results. A common response to this parable is to think about how condition of the soil in our lives and how it affects the growth of what God is planting in our lives. But what if that's not what Jesus wanted us to focus on?

1 Thessalonians 2:1-8

We have focused our perspective, aligned our posture, and explored the pathway to a deep life. Now, we must wrestle with the question: what is it all for?

Philippians 4:8-9

In so many areas of life, it can feel like we are measured by our output. But what if the true deep life was better measured not by what comes out but by what goes in?
