A major clue to locate your treasure is identifying where you place your

‘Often our own faith journey is not very different from the older brother’s story”

“Too often we live our Christian lives as hired hands who are simply happy to be living in the house but God says “you are invited to the table”

Even if 2019 has left you confused, disoriented, and disappointed, take heart: this isn’t the end of the story.

“The scandalous claim of Christianity is that God became one of us to give us life”

Isaiah 11:1-9

“We are all hardwired for hope...”

“this baby in a manger is rooted in God’s pain for humanity”

Many of us are going through hardships and a difficult season right now. 100% of us will suffer at some point. What does the Bible say on this topic?
