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.” L…

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…

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 unc…

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, o…

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…

When we think of Christmas, we might think of twinkling lights, or the words of Silent Night that say “all is bright, all is calm.” But that first Christmas was anything but quiet.

ADVENT - WE’VE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT | The Light of Freedom amid the Darkness of Burden | December 8, 2024
More than 2400 years ago, a prophet named Isaiah wrote words of hope to his people, the Israelites, that someday God might send help - someone to “shatter the yoke of oppression.” Using extreme language, the prophet yearns for a time when God sends someone to “shatter the yoke of oppression” - removing for good suffering endured and suffering infli…

ADVENT - WE’VE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT | The Light of Joy amidst the Darkness of Despair | December 1, 2024

The first week’s focus is on joy - especially in the midst of a dark world. But we have such a shallow understanding of joy; …

As we approach Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of our culture’s annual rhythm. But if we’re honest, most of modern Thanksgiving is more about making food and travel and watching the Detroit Lions than it is taking time to really let gratitude flow out of us. But gratitude isn’t just something we do to be polite - it’s a deeply formative practice. But …

PARTY CRASHER: How Jesus Disrupts Politics as Usual and Redeems our Partisan Divides | Whatever Happens | November 17, 2024
The phrase “whatever happens” doesn’t conjure up visions of stability. When people say that - “whatever happens” - it’s usually because something bad is going to happen. For the church at Philippi, this was the case. In his letter to the early church in that city, Paul understood that the political climate was going to get heated. The earliest Chri…

So how do we get that? Well, if the story of Jesus is any indication, Jesus not only is the Prince of Peace, not only brings peace, but invites His follo…
