Mark 10:32-45 When I witnessed Mike Van De Ven, then-COO of Southwest Airlines collecting the trash on a late night flight, I realized THIS is an act of unexpected service. After reminding the disciples of His cross ahead, Jesus taught them the same truth: true greatness (and leadership) is service. In his amazing way, Jesus transformed the selfish request of James and John into His bequest that w...

Paul’s letter to the Galatians helps us think about how we might work through our own “gridlocked” probl...

Acts 15: 1-21 "Conflict is inevitable. Combat is optional.” In marriage, it’s not a matter of if the fight will happen but when and how.
