When evil seems to be prospering, the temptation can be to find a backup plan instead of God’s way. Do we need one?
God’s way doesn’t always look the most successful in the moment, but it is the path to true success.
Join Pastor Tim this week as he shares from John 20:22-23 on how Jesus equips us even in our weakness and brokenness.
Join Pastor Tim as we begin a new series and start it out by talking about fools (Prov. 26:4-5)! It’s often a passage that has been cited to say the Bible contradicts itself, but it actually has a very straightforward and very applicable message for us.
Are we seeing who we are clearly? Peter challenges us to examine our spiritual “sight.” Join Pastor Tim as we look to 2 Peter 1:9-11 to find out our prescription.
Pastor Tim continues our series “Follow Me” thinking about our calling to godliness, what that has to do with legalism and, maybe, even a little discussion of ballpark nachos. We’ll sort it all out by going to James 1:21-25.
We have a lot of things we think are signs of the “blessed life”? Proverbs has a clear answer that challenges our assumptions.
It is easy to want Jesus for the healing, peace, and confidence he gives while keeping the rest of life safely under our control. In Matthew 8, however, the One who heals the sick also tells would-be disciples that the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. What does it mean to follow him rather than merely watch?
We easily draw safe boundaries around God’s grace, welcoming those who seem familiar while overlooking those who feel foreign or difficult. Yet the distant wise men of Matthew 2 and the rejoicing Gentiles of Acts 13 confront those boundaries: Jesus came to reach the world. Who might God be placing beyond our comfort, yet within the reach of his good news?
We’ve all prayed about something so long that we start to wonder if God has put us on hold—and whether anyone is ever going to pick up. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable about a powerless widow who keeps pleading before a judge who neither fears God nor respects people, and asks whether his people will keep crying out to him day and night or simply lose heart.
