   As followers of Jesus we tend to measure our spiritual maturity by our knowledge of God (theology) and our involvement in church life. Yet, Jesus measures maturity in a different way completely. He tells his disciples that "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father." Living for Jesus is more than just knowledge, it's th...

    As we hit the new year, many of us will be seeking new things, knocking on new doors, and asking God to bless our plans.

   Christmas is really about two stories playing out at the same time. In one story, we see the people of God including Mary and Joseph going through the struggle of registering for a census for the purpose of paying taxes.  At the same time, God was still doing a miracle in the middle of all of this! He was bringing Christ the Lord into the world to bring forgiveness, reconciliation and peace. Go...

Immanuel, God with them who is...

   Eschatology is the study of the end of the world. We continually see a rise in wars, famines, natural disasters and other catastrophes. For thousands of years, the church has thought about the end in the light of Jesus Christ and the resurrection. It's easy to look at the news today and be filled with anxiety. The story of the Scriptures however, calls us to look at the end and live with h...
