An unshakable kingdom (Hb. 12:18-29)
The writer of Hebrews contrasts Mount Sinai with Mount Zion, the old covenant and the new covenant, the fear and trembling of Moses and the confidence and joy of believers in Christ.
Peace and division (Lk. 12:49-56)
There are Christians and non-Christians. Jesus has a way of telling us how things are… But where do we find peace?
The dreaded word… (Lk. 12:32–40)
From the technology we use every day to the rising house prices, we live in a very different society than we did 2, 10, 20, and 50 years ago.
Bigger barns (Lk. 12:13–21)
Greed is not simply the accumulation of things. It’s about the way we find safety and security in them. Individuals can certainly do that, but what about churches?
God the giver (Lk. 11:1–13)
Does God hear my prayers? How do I know? When it comes to prayer, our confidence doesn’t come from our ability to pray, but from the person who teaches us how.
The good portion (Lk. 10:38–42)
Seek first the kingdom of God, which is an upside-down kingdom and shows itself in ways we don’t expect, and he will provide everything we need to love him and serve one another.
Knowing God (Co. 1:1–14)
We have all felt the difference between knowing something and really knowing something. How can we know God better so that he is not just an acquaintance, but our closest friend?
Called to follow (Lk. 9:51–62)
We generally have our priorities ordered. When Jesus says, “Follow me,” he is asking to be the top priority. How do we do that?
Now we are free (Ga. 3:23–29)
When we are confined, something else is forcing us to stay where we are. This is what God’s law does. What frees us?
Challenge, products, hope (Ro. 5:1–5)
Paul talks about the Trinity by talking about our daily lives. He explains why the Triune God matters for us.
