In Mark 8, we see that despite witnessing Jesus' previous miracles, the Pharisees approached Jesus with a skeptical attitude, seeking further proof of his divine authority. Instead of providing another miraculous sign as they requested, Jesus declined, indicating that their demand stemmed from their hardened hearts rather than genuine faith.   This narrative reminds us not to miss what Jesus is sa...

Jesus never performs a healing or a miracle the same way twice.  Sure, there are specific things that are true of all miracles, but rarely are they ever performed the same way.  The outcome might be the same, yet the journey varies for each, and that is what makes for great opportunities to worship God.  We see in the Gospels that all miracles: Are divine in nature, meaning they are from God Displ...

Training in godliness is always better. But what does godliness do for us?

Pursuing peace through external achievements like vacations, titles, or wealth will, at best, provide relaxation, but it is not a calmness of your soul. Peace on earth is found only in the presence of God, not in the place or position you achieve.

Jesus' birth is the beginning of the end of sin and death. We needed a mighty God, a valiant warrior to conquer sin and death! When we receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord, that is exactly what we get! A mighty God who overcomes our sin and desires a closer than close relationship with you and me.  

This Christmas, we'll explore these four names of Jesus within the context of the Christmas story. As explained in Sunday's sermon, the wise men's search for and submission to Jesus unveiled the truth: Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor.

God took David from being in the cave to being Israel's king. Tell God how you feel, and trust God with how you respond.

God knows you and yet is still close…why? Because He created and cares for you.

We come from all different walks of life and backgrounds, and we have various talents and gifts. It's beautiful when we humbly come together as the body of Christ and stay focused on Jesus.

The life you have today is different than the life you thought of in high school. Think of everything you have built from then until now: Relationships, marriage, wealth, knowledge, education, experiences, etc. Most are probably things that only God could do and gifts we often take for granted.

The presence of God can be accessed in traffic, a board room, the doctor's office, on a date, and in the most stressful or joyful situations. There is never a time when we cannot draw near and be in the presence of God.

A garden left unattended grows weeds. A car left unattended gets dirty. A heart left unattended drifts toward evil. What has The Lord entrusted to you? What will you do to protect it?

We don't have it all together, and that's OK. That's where God's grace comes in. Accept it and do all that you do to glorify Him. A life lived to glorify God is a grand adventure! It's what makes a full, meaningful, and purpose-filled life.
