Brandon Fisher | Nov 1 2026 In Joshua 10-12 we have the record of Israel taking large parts of the promised land as they fight many battles and time and time again are victorious over the kings and peoples dwelling in the land. This represents a great advancement of God’s kingdom in history as the enemies of God’s people are defeated and God’s promises to His people are fulfilled. As God’s people...

Brandon Fisher | Oct 25 2026 In Joshua 8-9 we find two stories that in some sense contrast with each other. They give us a picture both of what it means to be wise and what it means to be foolish. We live in a day and age that is full of knowledge and yet many times is lacking in wisdom. Wisdom and folly perhaps not even words we us in our vocabulary anymore. And yet these are two words that are a...

Kyle Kauffman | Oct 18 2026 How often do you reflect on the seriousness/gravity/heinousness of sin? We may know and confess that we are sinners and yet it’s easy for us to forget just how serious and deadly our sin is. The problem with this is as we forget how serious our sin is we also forget how glorious our Savior is. If our love for Jesus and worship of Jesus is flickering perhaps it’s because...

Kyle Kauffman | Oct 11 2026 Where does your life feel like a battle currently? Where do you feel like you are engaged in a fight that you can’t seem to win and that you don’t control the outcome of? There are all sorts of battles we may fight in this life. Those battles are evidence of the fact that as God’s people we are in a war with spiritual forces. The war we are called to fight looks much di...

Kyle Kauffman | Oct 4 2026 It can be easy to forget things. And sometimes we forget the most important things. Things like birthdays and anniversaries can easily slip our minds or we forget where we put things like keys, wallets, or phones. The Bible shows us that one of the biggest things we forget is who we are in relation to God and what God has done for us. It’s instructive that the first thin...

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 27 2026 Do you long to see God working in powerful ways in your life and in our world today? The answer to that question is probably obvious. “Of course I do!” In Joshua 3-4 we see God miraculously stopping the Jordan River so that his people can cross on dry ground. It’s easy for us to read accounts like this and either dismiss them as an occurrence of the past (“That’s how G...

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 20 2026 How often do you consider the fact that God has saved you? Does it still amaze you when you consider the fact that God has saved you? In Joshua 2 we encounter the incredible story of Rahab hiding the Israelite spies to spare their lives and then asking for them to spare her life when God gives them the city of Jericho. It’s a story that displays God’s power to save and...

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 6 2026 Joshua begins with the greatest change that the young nation of Israel has experienced so far. Their trusted and faithful leader who God used to bring them out of slavery and guide them through the wilderness is dead just as they are about to begin their greatest challenge so far: taking possession of the land God has promised to give them. A new leader whom God has cho...

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 30 2026 Life in this world can be very chaotic, hard, and painful as we have seen in looking at different Psalms. But life in this world can also be very good, pleasant, and delightful. The Psalms don’t shy away from dealing with the difficulty of life and neither do they shy away from celebrating the goodness of life. Psalm 103 is an anthem to the goodness of God. It reminds u...

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 23 2026 You likely know the feeling. We say something, do something, or think something that is sinful. You weight it and know it wasn’t loving to God or to other people. A guilt pierces your conscience and immediately you wish you could take it back. What do you do in that moment? Seek to quickly move on and act like it’s no big deal? Wallow in the guilt and shame of what an a...

Josh Stalnaker | Aug 16 2026 Life is, ultimately, out of our control. So, how do we react to this reality? Do we panic and anxiously wait for the next bad thing to happen? Do we react with cynicism towards the world and its troubles? Or do we rest in the power of God as outlined in Psalm 46? The 46th Psalm is a reminder that God is present in the troubles of life and the world. It reminds us that...

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 9 2026 There are times in life when darkness seems to settle over our hearts and minds like a thundercloud over a playground. Where there used to be laughter, joy, and life, there now only seems to be silence, sadness, and loneliness. This darkness may come because of some specific situation we are facing. It may come because of some spiritual reality. Or it may come because of...

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 2 2026 There are all sorts of things that can make us fearful and anxious. There are internal struggles that make us feel anxious as we wrestle with sin and weakness. There are external struggles that make us anxious as we face all sorts of difficulties and challenges in a world broken by sin. There are real threats that make us anxious – illness, wayward children, financial st...

Keith Rohrer | Jul 26 2026 If you’re 14-22, you’re probably thinking about what you want to do with your life and who you want to become. Many people and experiences will influence what you decide. Does God get a say? Would you consider His plans for you if they differed from yours?

Kyle Kauffman | Jul 19 2026 We do not live in 1st century Corinth like the people Paul was writing to in this letter. We live in 21st century America where there are both surprising similarities and significant differences to the church and culture in 1st century Corinth. We have seen both of those as we’ve walked through this letter. Perhaps one of the greatest and most wonderful similarities is...

Kyle Kauffman | Jul 12 2026 1 Corinthians 14 has long been a controversial passage with Christians taking different positions on the gifts described in this passage along with their enduring significance for the church today. While it is important to understand the different positions Christians may take in this area, we can get so caught up in the theological debate that we can forget Paul is cal...

Brandon Fisher | Jul 5 2026 1 Corinthians 13 may be the most famous chapter in the Bible. It’s all about love. It’s read at many weddings and is familiar to many both inside and outside the church. But what makes this chapter so famous? Why are we so familiar with it? Because deep down this is what we were created for and longing for: perfect love. And we are ultimately meant to find that love in...

Kyle Kauffman | Jun 28 2026 What do you think of when you think of the church? It’s likely that many of us think of Sunday Mornings because that’s what we associate church with. And while the gathering of the church is incredibly important, it can also be dangerous if we only start to view church as an event that we attend. It’s common in our own day to view church as good, but not necessary; as n...

Kyle Kauffman | Jun 21 2026 For the past two thousand years churches everywhere have regularly celebrated communion. It is a wonderful gift that Jesus gave to us where we remember the love Jesus has for us and the hope we have in Him. Yet in the midst of regularly celebrating this sacrament we can easily forget, overlook, or become numb to the glory of what we are remembering and celebrating. 1 Co...

Brandon Fisher | Jun 14 2026 What does it mean to be male and female? Are there other genders besides these two? Where do we look to determine what gender a person is? There may be no greater hot-button topic in our day then gender. Strong feelings and opinions can quickly devolve into arguments, misunderstandings, and name-calling. We need God’s Word to cut through the noise to be able to underst...

Jim Hoffmeier | Jun 7 2026 God loves his people and wants to be in a close relationship with them but he expects pure worship and undivided devotion to Him. These twin themes are the focus of Malachi chapter 1. Malachi was God’s prophet to the returned Judean exiles in Jerusalem and Judah after the seventy years in Babylon. This community had many challenges getting reestablished in their promised...

Kyle Kauffman | May 31 2026 Worship is not optional. It is something every human being is engaged in on a regular basis whether we realize it or not. Worship is in some sense hard-wired into what it means to be human. The main question we must ask in our lives is not “Will I worship?” but “What will I worship?” And our daily decisions and actions in this life are giving an answer to that question...

Kyle Kauffman | May 24 2026 When you are running a race there is need for perseverance and endurance in order to make it to the finish line. The same thing is true of the Christian life. In the end of 1 Corinthians 9 Paul compares the Christian life to being like running a race. And as we discover, it is not a race that everyone makes it to the finish line in. We see this both in examples from the...

Kyle Kauffman | May 17 2026 The Christian life involves sacrifice. It involves being willing to lay down our rights, give up our freedom, and make sacrifices that can prove costly, difficult, uncomfortable, and painful. This can be at odds with a world that tells us to hold onto our rights and freedoms at all costs. We can easily make an idol of our rights and freedoms and forget that rights and f...
