Summer playlists help us capture our favorite memories, and the Bible provides us with a “mix tape” of its own, the Book of Psalms. This collection of worship songs, poems, and prayers still speaks powerfully to our lives today. Join us for Mix Tape: Volume 7 as we explore how the book of Psalms can help us walk in step with God.

One thing you’ll see in almost every World Cup match this summer is “Stoppage Time.” It’s extra minutes added at the end of a half to make up for time lost during the game. The referee decides how much extra time to give, and teams know to use it to their advantage. In some ways, we all live in “stoppage time.” Our days are not guaranteed, and the time we have on earth is ultimately not up to us b...

No one likes to feel out of place, but we’ve all felt that way before. In fact, as followers of Jesus, we should expect it. 1 Peter 2:11 says we live as “aliens and strangers in the world.” This means God’s grace causes us to see the world we were born into differently. We’re living in a wild world that grows more chaotic by the minute. But Peter’s letters not only teach us how to live in this wil...

God has woven the need for relationships into the fabric of our DNA. Our culture, however, has hijacked what God intended for our good. If we’re not careful, unhealthy relational advice can cause pain and destruction. But that doesn’t have to be the case. God presents a different picture of relationships than our culture does. Instead of letting culture set the expectations for our marriages, fami...

What appeared to be Jesus’ greatest defeat was actually His greatest victory. No obstacle has ever been able to stop Him. Two thousand years ago, Jesus defeated the grave, and He is still undefeated today. Revelation 5:5 reminds us: “And he will reign forever and ever.” (NLT). When we live like Him and for Him, nothing can defeat us. His victory is our victory.

God doesn’t want part of you; He wants all 100% of you. When Jesus was asked what the greatest command in life is, He responded, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”  The most important question we can ask as followers of Jesus is, “Am I trusting God with all?” Our lives are not our own; they belong to God. In this s...

We live in a broken world that often enslaves us to a life that’s far less than what God created us to live. As 2 Peter 2:19 declares, “For you are a slave to whatever controls you (NLT). God, however, wants to set us free from anything that keeps us from really living. He wants to set us free from our baggage, worries, stress, hopelessness, brokenness, despair, and sin. As we kick off 2026, we’re...
