When you are a kid, you cannot wait for Christmas to get here. You count down the days until you are finally off School and you can open all of your Christmas presents.

The Bible isn’t full of great Family examples. Actually, it is full of Family Dysfunction. Families like Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Lot, David, and more are great examples of bad families.

Many of us follow a pyramid style of leadership. But Jesus didn’t model that style. Instead, he taught us to lead like a Peach Tree. www.impactchurchmd.com

We have all heard that we should serve each other, but is it really that important? Why does serving matter so much? According to Jesus, serving is one of the most important things we do. So why don’t we? Because we are waiting for God to make a table. www.impactchurchmd.com

These are questions that should be asked and questions we should wrestle with. www.impactchurchmd.com

If God is in control and if God is good, why would He allow bad things to happen to people who don’t deserve it? If He allows it, can’t he be to blame? These are questions that many of us struggle with. But looking at the story of Job, is there a better question we should be asking? www.impactchurchmd.com

Have you ever read the laws of the Old Testament and thought, “What is this about?” Sometimes, the Old Testament will say one thing while the New Testament says something different. Luckily for us, Jesus came and straightened it all out for us. So why do we still get it confused? www.impactchurchmd.com

There are some strange stories in the Old Testament, but none stranger then the story of Judah and Tamar. It is a story of death, deception, adultery, prostitution, lying, blackmail, and more. With a story this strange, what can we learn from it? And what does Jesus have to do with it? A lot more than you think. www.impactchurchmd.com

In David, we encounter a man after God’s own heart who nevertheless struggled to honor God with how he lived and led. Yet he was Israel’s greatest king. Jesus was the ultimate fulfillment of David’s family line and God’s promise represented through it. He is the perfect King who leads with a love that defies the worlds expectations and standards. Does King Jesus match with your expectations and st...
