Generous Grace Part 3: A Question Of Equality (2 Corinthians 8:13-15; Exodus 16:14-27)
Gospel equality is win-win! When Paul speaks of building a culture of equality between churches, he points us back to the Exodus story and God's miraculous provision of manna, the "what-is-it?" provision He gave them daily for 40 years. No one ...

Generous Grace Part 2: Excel (2 Corinthians 8:7-12)
Love is not just some theoretical concept, but, says Paul, it can actually be tested and measured according to its generosity. Genuine love is generous, and as it grows in us, we'll find a growing desire to be diligent in that generosity. Paul'...

The Answer (Luke 2:1-14)

Expecting Jesus Part 4: Zechariah's Sequel (Luke 1:57-79)
After 9 months (or more) of long silence, when Zechariah's voice was finally restored, the overflow of his heart was to glorify the Lord. The gospel can overflow our own hearts, not only in a specific season or a special day, but all year long,...

Expecting Jesus Part 3: Elizabeth & Mary (Luke 1:39-56)
Friendships centered in God's promise and in an atmosphere of faith are so vital to helping us keep saying yes to God's plan for our lives. Especially when God's word seems challenging or even confusing, who can be an 'Elizabeth' for us, someon...

Expecting Jesus Part 1: Zechariah (Luke 1:5-20)

Thankful For You (Ephesians 1:15-19)
When we hear that people are praying for us and have such a passion and zeal for the church, it encourages us. As Paul thinks of the church in Ephesus, he is filled with thankfulness - and Paul is only man! When Jesus thinks of us, we can only ...

A House That Prays Part 7: Awakened Prayer (Matthew 26:36-44)

A House That Prays Part 6: "O God, Not Winter!" (Matthew 24:1-22)

A House That Prays Part 5: God's Good Pleasure (Matthew 11:16-25)

A House That Prays Part 3: Keep Knocking (Matthew 7:7-12)
Is it right for us to come with an expectant attitude when we're praying, especially when we're asking God for things? Is it rude for us to keep asking him for the same things? The answers to these questions have a lot to do with motive, of cou...

A House That Prays Part 2: Pray Like This (Matthew 6:9-15)
When Jesus says, "You should pray like this:" we're about to learn something very important if we pay attention. What follows these instructive words from Jesus is what we know as the Lord's Prayer. What if we really use this as not just someth...

A House That Prays Part 1: This Is Not A Show (Matthew 6:5-8)
Wouldn't it be amazing to have Jesus teach us to pray? In The Sermon On The Mount Jesus takes some time to teach into prayer. For people who feel like their prayers seem like a performance or a pretense; for people who feel distracted when they...

My Yoke Fits Well (Labor Day Weekend) (Matthew 11:25-30)

Jesus Prays Part 2: Praying For Our Friends (John 17:6-19)

The Sign Of Jonah Part 6: Is It Right For You To Be Angry? (Jonah 4:1-11)
Scandalous grace! God's compassion and care for not only 'good' people, but really not good people is astounding, and can even offend our sensibilities. Jonah is furious that God would act this way toward 'those people!' The surgery Go...

Rain At The Right Time (Joel 2:13-29; 2 Timothy 1:6)
