The Best Gift

The Best Gift John 1:1–18 By Greg and Christina Owen Christmas is finally here! This day will most certainly involve gifts.

The Hands that Hold All Things

The Hands that Hold All Things Colossians 1:15-20 by Daniel Barkley You would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful passage in all of God’s Word.

Only Jesus

Only Jesus Galatians 4:4-7 By Lacey Komis Galatians 4 starts out reminding the church at Galatia of their identity and inheritance. The church was in the middle of a conflict.

Best Supporting Actor

Best Supporting Actor John 1:6-8, 19-28 By Peter and Courtney Thompson It’s all too easy for me to fall into the trap of believing I’m the main character in my story. After all, I literally view the world through my eyes. Maybe you struggle with that, too. We live in a time where self-promotion is […]

Rejoice!

Rejoice! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 By Justin Carmona Paul closes his letter to the Thessalonian church with final exhortations to live for Jesus.

Living in Response to God’s Abundance

Living in Response to God’s Abundance Psalm 126 By Donna McKinney During this week of Advent when we light the shepherds’ candle, we focus on joy — the shepherds’ joy in finding the baby Jesus. Perhaps for some… perhaps for you… joy feels like that hard-to-find, elusive thing, just beyond your grasp, especially this year. The isolation […]
