Nothing is more dangerous than sin, and nothing is more important than confronting it faithfully.

True greatness in the kingdom is found in embracing the way of the cross, taking the lowest place in humble service, and joyfully celebrating God’s work wherever it appears. 

Jesus demonstrates his authority over every unbelieving heart.

The transfiguration reveals the glory, identity, and mission of Jesus—and calls us to trust and follow him.
