God created life so that it could grow.  The Bible tells us about the responsibility we all share together for the growth of our faith.

Sometimes we describe love as a feeling.  Sometimes we describe love as an action.  The Bible describes love as a part of God’s character.

God always equips his people to live faithfully for him; sometimes we just overlook what it is we have been given.

Does it ever seem like God is nowhere to be found? What does faith look like in times when we cannot see God at work?

The faithful life of a Christian often seems to hold a tension between what is ahead and what is behind.

The prophet Nathan confronts king David with a story that surprises him, and still speaks to us today.

If it wasn’t for Ruth, Naomi’s story would have come to a tragic ending.  Ruth still shows us an important lesson about hope.
