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?" As we look at this Psalm we too have had times with similar feelings, and can learn from the journey he takes in his time of processing.Dane Smith

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 We might sense the weight of obligation, wonder at the relevance of an outdated idea, or simply fear it to be a killjoy, but Sabbath slows us down to the speed of the God who creates, delivers, and provides.…

Even when were walking on the road of addictions, anxiety, illness, hurts, self-hatred, guilt, and shame, that looks too strong, that looks impossible for us to turn around from that road, even when we feel like nothing can be changed in our lives, what still gives us hope is Jesus.Eric Shin

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 …

Jesus tells his followers that the temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed. He lovingly prepares them to face that horrific moment in history. As we see the destruction of the temple- we see the new house, the new building, the new temple that God was building.

Ron Davis reminds us that every day we get a myriad of messages about money: from financial professionals to commercial advertisers to Facebook friends. But what does God have to say about money? It just may surprise us how much the Bible has to say about money. One such passage is the parable we are looking at today from Luke 19.…

Jesus' question toward the blind beggar--"What do you want me to do for you?"--reflects the core message of the gospel. That is, the good news is about who God is--that He is the One who is delighted in working for us in His mercies and power. It, however, is easy for us to fall into the temptation of Religion that makes us work for God for whateve…

In this passage, Jesus turns our understanding of the world upside down. The people who get to Heaven are not the smartest, the most spiritual, or those who avoid doing really bad things. Rather, it is those of us who acknowledge our desperate need for Him. Jesus responds to our deep need with mercy, grace, and an invitation to the Kingdom of Heave…

Bethlehem is a word that means 'house of bread'. From this house of bread comes a child who will feed a word starving for hope, love, forgiveness, purpose, and meaning. Jesus is the Bread of Life and this Christmas we are invited to taste and see that Jesus satisfies our hungry hearts.Matthew Price

Do we have hope that Jesus can make all things new? John, the disciple of Jesus, tells us that Jesus is the Logos (Word). He was the one through whom all creation was formed, he is the logic at the center of the universe- and He is God. He has all power to give us hope. He has all power to speak into the darkness of our life- 'let there be light'.…

One of the enemys greatest tactics is to isolate us and to cut us off from others. But when we were baptized we died to a life of individualism and we were born again into a family of faith. And the church, in its life together, is the epicenter of the victory of Jesus over the darkness. It's together that we fight the schemes of the enemy and expe…

In our world, we see the constant cycle of evil giving rise to more evil. Jesus and the writers of the New Testament claim that the only way to end them is by doing good in response. As the enemy seeks to produce evil in the world, this is Jesus weapon against the evil schemes of the enemy: do good.Janet Thiessen

The enemy of our souls traffics in lies. He uses false ideas about God and life to lead us to death. But the Holy Spirit wants to speak truth to us so that our minds are filled with life and peace! Our prayer is that the King of truth would speak life and set us free!Matthew Price

We are not unaware of the schemes of the enemy. He uses temptation, deceit, accusation to lead us to death.

We begin a new series on Jesus' victory over all dark powers and over the evil one. The world, the flesh, and the devil are actively moving against Jesus and His good purposes for the world.

Our friends who are new to Jesus need to see the good news changing us. They need to see the good news shaping us & forming us & reordering our loves. So what we need, as Thomas Chalmers put it, is 'the expulsive power of a new affection'. Like Zacchaeus, we need to be evangelized! When this happens in us then we are sharing with our friends someth…

Our love for one another is our greatest evangelism. Jesus knew that the way a lonely and broken world would know His love- was when they witnessed His love in His people. 'By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another'.Matthew Price

Jesus has given us the joy of sharing his love and light with the world. What would it look like to extend an invitation to our loved ones to connect with Jesus?
