What's up with all the talk about blood in the Bible? Jesus' blood seals a new covenant with God and gives us forgiveness ahead of time.

The 3rd Commandment tells us not to misuse God's name, and this applies to more than just our speech. Living lives that claim Christ but don't look like him is the biggest way God's people break this commandment.

The 10 Commandments teach us who God is, but they fail to make us like him. We needed God to do something new with the law--something in our hearts.

There are no longer any barriers between us and God. In Jesus, we have access to God and can know him as he really is.

You are God's treasure, his precious possession, made to be used in his Kingdom.

Our sin natures have been part of who we are since we were born. Getting us out of sin turns out to be way easier than getting the sin out of us.

God's people have always used blood and bread to help them reenact his saving acts in history. We reenact what God has done for us because we are part of the story.

God plays a long game of patience and timing to free us from our slavery to sin.

We live in a culture obsessed with accumulating stuff. Your stuff can either distance you from God, or it can be a tool used for God's Kingdom.

The power of the church is found in the Holy Spirit, and not in power seeking or in making alliances with the powers-at-be.
