“Good News!” That’s how the story about Jesus was introduced to the world. But is it a “good story” like a tall tale used to amuse or deceive? Or a truly good story that you just gotta hear because of its importance and relevance? Like a journalist going after a good story, let’s open the book of Mark and see if we can discover who Jesus really is and why it matters.

A wide-eyed kid staring at the sky is holding onto something many of us have let go — a dream. We can get so bogged down by the urgent, discouraged by the pressures of life, and stuck within what’s familiar. But God is calling us to lift our sights beyond the day-to-day and dare to dream! What if we allowed God’s dreams to inspire us and fuel our purpose? What if God’s dreams became our own? It’s...

We think life is best without restrictions. We push the limits in our schedules only to burn ourselves out. We ignore boundaries in relationships, ending up feeling hurt, empty, or used. We rarely say “no,” constantly grasp for more, and push the limits in nearly every arena of life. But what if instead, we pushed for limits? Discover how boundaries can actually be life-giving, and acquire wisdom...

Christmas celebrates the almighty God coming to us as a humble baby in a stable. It’s a strange and quite other-worldly thought. But what he brings is even stranger - LOVE to the neglected, PEACE to the anxious, JOY to the depressed, HOPE to the cynical. These are the stranger things of Christmas. Strange, not only because they’re so scarce in our world today. But strange because they are alarming...

God loves us and pursues us whether we love him back or not. He unleashes his love to us without distinction or hesitation, and he calls us to love others in the same way. That’s the church at its best. That’s people living the way they were created to live - secure in God’s love and set free to love without inhibition. That kind of love changes the world, and we have the opportunity to be a part...

100 is a perfect mark on a test. It also says you’re keeping it real. It can mean you’re giving 100% or you’re fully on board. We might have aspirations of “keeping it 100” with God, but we all know we don’t live up to those ideals. It’s hard to truly and purely trust God with everything we have—especially when we’re literally talking about everything we have. But let’s go for it! Let’s see what G...

When life seems all uphill, the way is hard and the days are long, you dig deep for strength to take the next step. When you’re stuck, bogged down or confused, the only way forward is to take a step. When you’ve gone down the wrong path and made a mess of things, life won’t be fixed in one fell swoop, but it starts by taking a step. We’re all on a journey, and we all have a next step to take.
