The Pharisees had a preconceived notion about God that was unyielding and prevented them from understanding the fuller unveiling before them. We too can struggle as God calls us to greater conformity to His Will.

God wants us to jump in the pool of grace to swim, not to struggle. How we interact with His grace makes all the difference in our experience of the Christian life.

We can miss the more urgent thing because we get distracted by the immediate. As we begin exploring John 5, Jesus encourages us not to miss what’s truly important.

What does the righteousness God wants in us really look like?

Wisdom isn’t something meant to get on and off of. So do we want on?

Proverbs challenges us to be aware of where we are leaving the gracious confines of God’s way. The trouble for us is that we don’t even notice as we wander.

We can’t always discern in the moment what’s right and wrong on our own. We need to be focused on God’s glory so we can see where the dangerous paths are.

The World says, “if you don’t know what to do just do something.” God says, “if you don’t know what to do, follow me.”

We have so many different directions we could follow, but God has a particular one for us that allows us to be part of a masterpiece rather than a cacophony.

If the wisdom the world offers so often seems to point to doing the wrong thing, do we want to give up on wisdom entirely?

We try to draw out what reverence and recognition of God looks like, but our drawings end up a mess unless we let God guide us.

As we return to Proverbs this summer, we look to Proverbs 2. The challenge in seeking wisdom is that the results often take time — are they worth the wait?

The truth of Pentecost is that we live between the Ascension and Jesus’s return, but we do not live between God’s love.

The death of Judas provided the first opportunity to address a perennial issue for the church: how do we find those called to lead the church?

The early church needed preparation before their mission. What did they do to prepare to share the Gospel with the world?

As Jesus ascended into Heaven, the disciples needed to be challenged on what they were going to do next.

We keep wanting knowledge and power to get to what we think will make ourselves secure. God calls us instead to see how He makes us secure.

Excitement will only get us so far. To fulfill the mission of this life, we need more.

We all want to avoid destruction and tragedy. And given our own inclinations, we all move away from the very source of escape from those things.

As we wrap up our exploration of Psalm 9, we’re confronted with a question: are we living in the path of the sin storm or turning the shelter of God?

We continue to explore Psalm 9 by returning to what God values. Are we keeping our focus and our actions on Him or veering off course?

When we read about God’s judgment, we can wonder if God is the one putting us into bad places and how it could possibly be that someone who is loving would do that. Scripture helps us see things are actually a “tad” different than that.

A special fifth anniversary Steadfast takes us to the next part of Psalm 9.

God cares for the lowly — like us — and wants us to follow Him in showing that care.

Why do the Psalms keep taking us back to God’s strength? Because we (rightly) yearn for security and he is the one who provides it.
