All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and de...

In one of His most famous teachings, when asked what the most important concept of the entire Old Testament is, Jesus says, that it’s to “love God” and then adds “and love your neighbor.” In this one teaching, Jesus forever links loving God with loving your neighbor. Later, in the Book of James, the author says that “faith without works is dead.” Loving God means using one’s life to serve and help...

In 1535, William Tyndale was burned at the stake at the order of the King of England for the grievous crime of translating the Bible into English, and then printing it and disseminating it. King Henry 8th was so furious, he burned 6,000 copies of the Bible. But today, we don’t burn the Bible. We just ignore it. In 2 Timothy 4, the Apostle Paul says what King Henry knew - that the Bible is dangerou...

What does it mean to change? And more importantly how does a human change? Is it even possible? Join John Ortberg as he shows that  the 12 steps of AA are actually not only a powerful spiritual tool for us to truly examine our actual lives as they are in all of their brokenness, but to encounter the life transforming power of God - who is in the business of fixing broken humans when they come to H...

Perhaps nothing peaks our anxiety levels more than the “fog of uncertainty” around the future. What is coming down the road? Is it bad? Will I be okay? And that’s on a normal day. When actual bad news or events happen, it just exacerbates the worry. Now there’s *really* something to worry about. But we are not the first humans to worry about an uncertain future. Writing during a tense time of turm...

As we begin the New Year, whether we’re the “resolution-making” type or not, we’d all like to experience some sort of positive change in our lives. The story of God offers us a path toward not just “positive” change but the deep transformation we long for. But this requires a good deal of work on our part. Our lives are like icebergs. On average, only 10 percent of an iceberg’s volume is visible a...

The prophet Isaiah, more than 800 years before the birth of Jesus, wrote that a Messiah would come, that the “government would be on His shoulders” and that His kingdom of justice of righteousness would last forever. This promise, of a King who will love what’s right and set things right, not only resonated then, but in our chaotic and broken world, resonates with us today. But. sometimes, we mode...
