God is Love and full of mercy and grace. He knows humanity was subject to bondage, having been born into a fallen world. As such He set about a plan before the foundation of the world to save His beloved sons and daughters and all of creation and walked it out on planet earth. He is able to restore and recompense as we continue to look to Him and follow Him. Join me for this encouraging message! S...

God is good and has good plans for His kids. He created an abundance of good things in our world and in one another. But it takes eyes to see them. Sometimes we are so focused on what is wrong and bad in our lives that we fail to see the good. We can be intentional and focus on the. The more good we start to see, the more good we will see. And we can build on the good that is there! Join me for th...

Everything starts with Love, because He is the alpha and omega and every letter in between for all creation - especially His kids. Learning to receive love in all the places that feel inadequate, ugly, un-loveable, shameful, sinful, alone… is where we find out who we really are - approved and adored. We can exhale and simply be loved and free. It is from this place where we can love as He loves mo...

Truth in the inmost part of our beings brings freedom. This begs the question of what is truth? We have experiences and stories that have resulted in perspectives and meaning in our lives and our view of ourselves, God and the world. These have measures of truth, but also limitations and flat out lies intermingled. Truth is not a perspective or a commodity. Truth is a Person, Who brings healing an...

As human beings we struggle. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We usually fall in 2 ditches.

Why does evil happen when God is so good and powerful? Paul Young, author of “The Shack”, “Eve”, and multiple best selling books, addresses what happens when God creates a world in which the possibility (the inevitability) of ‘no’ to love will occur, and then submits to that creation and its choices, and to the ripples of those choices. Because of this all manner of deviation occurs. But Love inha...

God is always engaging with His sons and daughters to provide, heal, empower and bless, but also to conform His treasured kids into His image.

When we understand the eternal relationship of Father, Son and Spirit, we have a starting point to understand God, ourselves and our relationships: with God, one another, and all creation. The exquisite oneness of Trinity, union with distinction, is essential, mysterious, and beautiful. It is summed up in the word “perichoresis”. Join Larry McKnight as we tackle exploring this glorious and mysteri...
