The Grace Blizzard Has Come (December 7, 2025)

When a winter forecast keeps bouncing around, most of us know better than to cancel everything over what might never arrive. Luke opens his Gospel with the opposite claim: this is no chance of grace next week, but the report of what has already been fulfilled among us—Jesus actually coming in history.

God Didn't Wear a Costume (December 21, 2025)

We all reach for something we can actually recognize and hold on to—some concrete person or presence we can truly know, not just a philosophy about. That hunger is exactly what John 1 puts its finger on: the Word who was with God in the beginning became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.

When God Derails Your Plans (December 22, 2024)

Plans go awry all the time, and in the moment it feels terrible whether the fault is human weakness or God himself saying no to what we wanted. That's exactly where Mary finds herself in Luke 1 when Gabriel's greeting turns her ordinary day—and her entire future—upside down.

Not an Offensive Rebrand, But A Revealing (August 25, 2025)

The Pharisees had a preconceived notion about God that was unyielding and prevented them from understanding the fuller unveiling before them. We too can struggle as God calls us to greater conformity to His Will.

God is Here (June 18, 2023)

We encounter the fullness of God’s Wisdom in Jesus.

Product Recall (August 22, 2022)

When it comes down to it, where do the problems often begin? How can we guard against false teaching? It all comes down to Jesus.

Discarded (August 7, 2022)

During the most painful moments in our life, we often ask God if he is even there. However, even in the darkness, God is present and at work.

Distressed (July 31, 2022)

Sure, all things work out for the good, but that doesn’t make it any easier to go through. Even Jesus who knows the future, and knows the joy that lay ahead, became distressed at what came before the joy.

Dismissed (July 24, 2022)

Being dismissed is hardest when it’s by those who know you best. However, Jesus empathizes with your pain and promises security in his presence.

Disappointed (July 17, 2022)

Don’t let disappointment steal the hope you have in God. In His last days, Jesus experience disappointment when what was best was traded for what is less. However, these disappointments can create divine appointments with God.
