This exploration of Titus 3 reveals that salvation isn’t just a past moment, but an ongoing work of healing, restoring, and making us whole—freeing us from sin’s penalty, power, and ultimately its presence. As children of God who are still becoming heirs, we’re invited to leave behind orphan ways of living and lean into the Father’s transforming love through the shaping work of the Holy Spirit.

This message from Titus 2 confronts the dangerous gap between what we claim to believe and how we actually live, reminding us that when our lives don’t reflect Jesus, we misrepresent God to the world. Yet the hope is this: we don’t change through willpower, but by first receiving God’s grace, which empowers us through the Holy Spirit to live transformed lives that make our faith believable.

We are challenged to confront the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live, reminding us that real faith is formed through firsthand encounter with Jesus, not just consuming Christian content. The good news is that Jesus meets us in that gap and, by His grace and Spirit, empowers us to move from spectators to participants whose lives reflect the gospel we profess.

Worship isn’t something we start—it’s something we step into. Drawing from Revelation 4, this message invites us to see Sunday gatherings as joining the nonstop worship already happening in heaven, where our response flows not from performance, but from seeing Jesus clearly and entering God’s presence through the finished work of Christ.

As we step into a new year, this message from Genesis 22 asks a simple but powerful question: what do you really worship, and what do your everyday choices show you trust most? Through the story of Abraham and Isaac—and how it points to Jesus—we see that worship isn’t just about singing, but about choosing trust over control and discovering that God Himself is the greatest gift.

This Christmas reflection traces humanity’s darkness from Genesis to the present, revealing Jesus as the Light who doesn’t rescue us from afar but enters our depths, takes our place, and becomes the solid ground beneath our feet. It calls us to release the false driftwood we cling to and live in hope between Christ’s first coming and His promised return, trusting the One who is both our substitute and our rescuer.

At Christmas, we discover that love is not shallow or convenient but deeply personal and profoundly costly, revealed through the Incarnation—God with us. In Jesus, God draws near and pays the ultimate price for us, inviting us not only to believe we are truly beloved, but to live transformed by that same self-giving love toward others.

This Advent reflection explores the tension between the biblical call to rejoice always and the very real experience of pain and depression, pointing us to Psalm 16:11 where true joy is found in God’s presence. Rather than denying suffering, we discover that joy is not a feeling to chase but a Person we encounter—Jesus, who meets us in our vulnerability and walks with us through the mess.

This message reminds us that peace isn’t something we can buy or manufacture—it’s a Person, the Prince of Peace, who offers true shalom that makes us whole. By exposing the lies we believe, the sin we hide, and the pain we avoid, it invites us to come to Jesus Himself—the only One who can heal what’s broken and give us real, lasting peace.

This message invites us to explore Advent hope through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth and of Mary and Joseph, showing how their impossible promises, honest questions, and seasons of waiting reveal the depth of personal, messianic, and eternal hope. It reminds us that God includes us in His purposes—not ignoring our needs but meeting them through community, Scripture, and the rhythms that root us in Jesus’s story, even when our prayers feel unanswered.
