In 1 Samuel 3–4, we see another pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus in which He compels obedience to His Word, even when it is hard to hear. Join us this weekend!

It is a mistake to conclude from this story in 1 Samuel that every time you sin, it will result in condemnation without any possibility of experiencing God’s grace and mercy. Rather, the great failure on the part of the primary characters is their refusal to submit to God’s “correction and reproof” so that they […]

Do you have a Biblical worldview? Compare your view to that of Jesus this week as we wrap up the book of Judges (Ch 20–21).

Even with all our faults and failures, God is so merciful that He gives us a Priest who rescues… a great Priest! One who will never shove you out the door to a mob to save His own skin, but rather allows Himself to be turned over to a mob—to save our skin! Check out Judges 19 […]

Romans 3:23 says emphatically that everyone has sin, and because of that sin, all humanity falls “short” of God’s glory. The story of Ruth points to the reality that we stand under a “curse” from birth, unworthy of being in God’s presence. Yet, we can be rescued, even though we are cursed. Find out more […]

In reference to God and humans, Luke 2 reads this way: 14…on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased. Luke 2 — Many people already feel God is not pleased with them, and reading that statement from the angel only amplifies their anxiety. If that’s your thought, please read Luke 2 fully and discover […]

In Matthew 1, Joseph is shamed. He thinks the great scandal is that Mary has betrayed him because she is pregnant, and he knows the child is not his. Little does he know; the real scandal is that God is in her womb, and He is coming into our world to be shame for us!

Many people feel like God is not interested in them and would never use them for His purposes. Most think they are unqualified or too damaged. Yet, God says otherwise. The potential within each person is only limited by their willingness to allow God to work through them. Find out more in our Christmas series […]
