Joshua 2, 6

As we continue through the genealogy of Jesus recorded in Matthew's first chapter, we pause to reflect on the story of Rahab--a woman who, though filled with anxiety over the fate of herself and her family, chose to place her trust in God and in turn, received overwhelming peace and unmerited welcome into God's family.

Genesis 38

Though we couldn’t gather in person yesterday, we have still entered into Advent together.
Pastor Thomas offers a short reflection, “Hope for the Hopeless,” to open our new series Enter In, reminding us that Jesus comes right into the places we feel most lost, weary, broken and undone—and he offers us hope.

Psalm 106:48

In our final week in our series, Lifeline, we reflect on the powerful little word that closes all our prayers: Amen. How does a greater understanding of this word help us cling to the promises of God?

Psalm 145

"The end of prayer is praise," writes Eugene Peterson. It is both the terminus of the Psalter as well as the telos of all prayers.

Psalm 91

The Psalms remind us that the Adversary is real and always on the prowl. But the people of God need not be afraid. For we have serve a God that is not only able to protect us from the Enemy's snares, but even if we fall as our first parents did, He is able to deliver us.

Psalm 51

Why is confession an essential form of prayer for us as Christians? Because confession of sin opens us up to receive forgiveness from God and extend that forgiveness to others.

Psalm 23

How is it that we can ask the Lord of all the earth to "give us today our daily bread"? The complementary images found in Psalm 23 give us the answer: The Lord is our Shepherd and Host.

Psalm 115

What exactly are we praying for when we pray for things to be "on earth as they are in heaven"?

Psalm 10

The psalms give us permission to express our anger, our frustration and our desired outcomes to God. But they also lead us to submit all those to His will.

Psalms 96-97

Why did Jesus spend so much time talking about the Kingdom of God? Why did He command us to pray for God's Kingdom to come if it's already here? It's so we never become satisfied with our present earthly "kings" and their kingdoms.
