Easter is a day of profound celebration. But if we’ve not yet contemplated the unimaginable cost of this day, then we know nothing more than a date on a calendar. There is no cheap grace in the sacrifice of Christ. It was and is the costliest sacrifice of all time! When we come to Christ […]

What is it that you and I do with our lives? Do we follow after the example of Jesus? Are we caught with positions of power and influence, or do we possess humility, seeking first to serve others rather than be served? Do we angle to see ourselves lifted high, rather than pointing to the […]

Jesus sees us. He seeks us. And he also speaks to us. In a world today that only sees love as affirmation, Jesus speaks real loving truth, never shying away from the darkness in our lives. He speaks…Lazarus, come forth. He speaks…Adam and Eve, where are you? He speaks…Peter, would you feed my sheep? His […]

Jesus seeks us. The Samaritan woman at the well had a past. She was shunned in polite society to the point that she wouldn’t even come to the public well except at the hottest, most unpleasant time of day, clearly in an effort to shield herself from unpleasant interactions. But Jesus clearly seeks an audience […]

Jesus sees us. And when he sees us, he transforms us, no matter what the situation we find ourselves in. And in so doing, he sets an example for us of how we need to truly see others as well, no matter how messy their circumstances. 26 So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes,[a] […]

From Genesis all the way through to Revelation we see the story of redemption, the story of sin and brokenness but also of salvation and grace. The garden at the beginning is restored in the city at the end of days and this time, the relationship that was broken between God and man comes back […]

There’s an awareness we have that this world is not everything. There’s some sense we have that God is present, that He cares about us, that He has an intimate interest in who we are. Jesus comes to tell us that now is the time of the Lord’s favor! Judgement is coming, but we are […]

We so often make the mistake that we think following Jesus means everything in our lives will go smoothly and be problem-free. But that is not what the Bible teaches us! When we look at all the lives of those chronicled in Biblical history, we see a different reality. That reality involves hardship, sin, failure, […]

God makes the unexpected choice over and over again throughout Scripture. Like Leah, you may feel unseen. You may feel unheard. You may feel unwelcome or unwanted. Like Judah, you may feel disconnected from God and adrift in a sea of misguided cultural immorality. But God sees you! He hears you and he longs to […]

We may have strayed far from God, done regrettable deeds, and fallen short again and again. Yet we yearn for God’s blessing…to feel the love of our heavenly Father, to bask in His approval. Despite our wanderings we need to remember that God always seeks us out! And like Jacob, He offers restoration when we […]
