Outrageous Righteousness

When we talk about God, we talk a lot about His righteousness, and how He makes us righteous... But what really even IS righteousness? And how does God's righteousness apply in me?

Outrageous Violation

When reading the book of Romans, you get the idea that the Apostle Paul is not nice... That the Bible is not nice when talking about you and your sin. So, why is so much christian teaching so... Nice? Why aren't we saying "No more nice guy," and dealing with our sin?

Outrageous Expectation

Did you ever wonder, "what's the point of being religious?" Seriously.. What is the point of getting up, going to church, and being part of something that feels so inconvenient? 

How to BE In The Fire

All of us go through the fire from time to time. It's an unavoidable reality. We deal with pain, suffering, difficulty in our lives.

But we can learn a lot from some young boys that had to walk through the fire themselves.

Family Day

We love marking the milestones on our kids' journey... Birthdays, graduations, etc... But we often get so caught up in the journey that we forget that every journey has an actual destination. Where are we leading our next generation?

Watchful

This may be the key concept that forms Jesus' thinking.. It is the biggest influence on his thought process, yet we tend to miss it... A LOT! So how can re-centering our thinking help us think like Jesus, and change our lives?

Grace and Truth

To think like Jesus, we have to know where to start, and where we are going.

Who Do You Think He Is?

If we are going to "think like Jesus," we should first know who he really is. Who did Jesus claim to be, and how did his people identify him?

Think Like Jesus, Part 1

If we want to experience victory, if we want to overcome, we have to think differently. We have to make the jump from thinking ABOUT Jesus to thinking LIKE Jesus.

Stuck In Saturday

Did you ever notice that on resurrection weekend, Friday and Sunday get a lot of description in the Bible, but there is barely a mention of Saturday? Saturday is a day of waiting. Of pain. Of suffering. Too many of us are stuck in Saturday.
