Join Pastor Tim as we think about living as those demonstrating Christian unity.
We can be full of hope and still put that hope in plans, forecasts, and outcomes that never arrive. When disappointment turns us into expert worriers—or convinces us that life will only get worse—we’re reminded to look to our true hope and the Power behind it.
Wisdom isn’t something meant to get on and off of. So do we want on?
We live in an information age, bombarded with worldly wisdom, theological wisdom, biblical wisdom, and endless “pratical” wisdom for Christian living—and much of it may actually be wise. Yet Paul’s words encourage us to ask: “Does all this knowledge lead us to know God, or have we mistaken knowing things about Him for knowing Him?”
Pastor Tim is celebrating Christmas in July by thinking about how God gives us gifts available all year long, not just at Christmas.
Proverbs challenges us to be aware of where we are leaving the gracious confines of God’s way. The trouble for us is that we don’t even notice as we wander.
Did the sacraments matter to God? Let’s think about that.
We can’t always discern in the moment what’s right and wrong on our own. We need to be focused on God’s glory so we can see where the dangerous paths are.
We fall into measuring our place with God by how much Scripture we know or how “spiritual” we sound. Paul tells us the real measure is somewhere else: “the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” What changes when we remember that the Christian journey began by hearing what God has done not what we do?
The World says, “if you don’t know what to do just do something.” God says, “if you don’t know what to do, follow me.”
