We return to our First Love as we step into the light of God and allow him to expose all the areas of sin that so easily steal our joy. As we repent we turn from our ways- we experience His freedom and His joy. He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.Matthew Price

We return to our First Love as we discover our spiritual gifts and use them to love God and our neighbours. We have served God from a place of exhaustion, bitterness, legalism, pride, and fear. But we want to serve from a place of deep union with Christ. We want to enjoy loving God as we love others.…

We are living in the fog of secularism and it is so easy to believe that God is far away and irrelevant to the pressing needs of our life. But what if God was closer than we can even imagine? What if there are burning bushes everywhere on fire with the Presence of God? What if God could remove the veil from our eyes so that we can see that He has b…

Are you in a circle of friends who love you and love Jesus? Many of us who are not feeling loved by God are feeling that way because we are more and more cut off from the love of others. The truth is that our love for God is rekindled as we love one another.Matthew Price

Jesus meets a woman at a well and offers her the very Presence of the Living God. This woman is so changed by Jesus that she shares the good news with her entire village. There is no greater joy than introducing people we love to the God we love. This is how we rekindle our first love.Matthew Price

Meek and gentle are the same Greek word in this passage, so when Jesus blesses the meek he blesses the gentle. He promises that the gentle win in the end. Rooted in Psalm 37, as well as the life of Moses, we explore what it means to be gentle. We see Jesus as the Gentle One who, at the cross, does not punish us in wrath but gently loves us with a s…

The Psalmist sees the wicked and self-serving having dramatic success in their lives and feels a sense of injustice. He asks the question, "Is God actually good?"

God has gifted us the Sabbath, one day each week without work, and yet it doesn't always feel like a gift. We might sense the weight of obligation, wonder at the relevance of an outdated idea, or simply fear it to be a killjoy, but Sabbath slows us down to the speed of the God who creates, delivers, and provides.…

We all have moments where we feel as though a fog has settled in our minds and our hearts.

The simple fact of the matter is that for every person who encounters Christ dramatically with blinding lights and a booming voice, hundreds more meet him slowly and quietly, incognito on the Emmaus road, through friendship, Scripture, and conversation."-Pete GreigDan Warkentin

Does the resurrection of Jesus from the dead 2000 years ago really matter?" Believing in the resurrection is one thing, but do we know what it means?

There are situations or seasons where we feel hard-pressed. Where we know that life has not gone the way we have wanted it to. Where we wish for a different way for it to go. And in these times we truly wonder where to turn. Part of the beauty of the Bible is that it is brutally honest and vulnerable. As we get closer to Easter, we find that Jesus …
