God’s will – and warning – for resilient Christians

God loves to get his hands dirty. Nobody is untouchable to him.

Genuine repentance is possible, and necessary, because we are loved by the true God of justice, mercy and forgiveness. The prophet Hosea teaches us that we can own our sin and return to God in confidence, repenting in ashes with integrity and hope.

The apostle Paul calls the Church to grow in limitless love for one another and for the world.

The relationship between church leaders and church members is critical to the peace and purity of the local church.

What we believe about the Lord’s return shapes our living today in light of this certain future day. 

God assures Christians that Jesus Christ is returning to bring them into the kingdom of God, and encourages them to love one another and the world in which they live.

The Christian dead live honorably with Jesus today and will return honorably in the future.

Real freedom starts with owning the truths that make Christian brotherly love a revolutionary reality.

In a world of self, Jesus’s church is uniquely poised as a family for others.

Many of us will make New Year’s resolutions. The Psalmist indicates there is one resolution truly worth keeping. “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul…” (Psalm 19:7). When we commit to following the Word of God out of love for Jesus Christ and the redemption only He can provide, we find true freedom and real peace in a life of obedience to God.

The gifts offered to Jesus and the significance they had on His mission to save his people.

Deepening our belief in a trustworthy, peace-giving God.

King Herod's legacy of selfishness; Jesus' legacy of selfless love. 

Advent is a great season to reaffirm happiness in Christ when waiting for God's king is costly and even disappointing.

Advent is a great season to remember that when our King returns, the completeness of his salvation includes physical wholeness.

Christians are active waiters looking for God to keep his promises. When our faith gets wobbly God reminds us that our hope is in the object of our faith, not the quality of our faith. 

Making Christ the starting point for conversations about human sexuality is deeply biblical and life-giving.

What is “redeemed sexuality” and who gets to decide what is appropriate sexual conduct? How does knowing God and being His people inform our sexual ethnic and practices?

Jesus’s Great Commission has propelled his followers to share the gospel across every manner of barrier from the first days to our moment in time. Woven into his Commission are important reasons for us to remain confident that sharing the gospel - at home and across cultures - is both necessary and good.

When we partake in the Lord’s Supper with repentant and faithful hearts we really and truly receive, and our nourished, by the promise and fulfillment of love of Jesus Christ.

Pastors and congregations seeking to make Jesus shine brighter need reminded about what’s at the heartbeat, the heartache and the heartening of ministry.

When tempted by suffering and to shortcut around God’s plan, Jesus depended on God’s Word. To live the Christian life, it is essential for us to follow in Christ’s footsteps.

The gospel is God's possession entrusted to his ministers for the health of his church for the need of the world.

The Church is an assembly united, loved and converted like no other.
