Faith and Love

November 9, 2025
Paul had to leave Thessalonica a lot sooner than he wanted to, and it is driving him crazy to know how that new church is doing. So he sent Timothy back to Thessalonica to check on them, and the report was glowing. The tempter had not stripped them of their faith and love for each other, had not turned them against Paul, but instead they were still holding steady, still eagerly looking forward to seeing Paul again.

Making Disciples

November 2, 2025
We are familiar with the Great Commission’s language of “making disciples,” but I think we’re often a lot less clear on what that actually looks like; a lot less clear on how it’s actually done. In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul seems to accidentally/indirectly walk us through some of the basics of making disciples, where we find maybe it’s not as complicated as we may have made it to be.

Entrusted

October 26, 2025
The message of the gospel is something God has entrusted to his people. Paul saw this as something to be defended and protected – the point of going out of his way to make sure that nothing of even his own character would be a stumbling block to the Thessalonians receiving the gospel.

Vision Sunday Fall 25

October 12, 2025
When an artist sits down to paint a picture, or a landscaper looks over a property he or she is about to transform – when a homeowner wants to remodel or do an addition on the house it all starts with a picture in their mind of what could be. It starts with imagination. What could be. We call that “vision.” When Jesus told the disciples, "Go and make disciples of all nations...", he had a vision in mind. That vision is found in Revelation 5 and Ephesians 5: People from every tribe, language, and nation, purified, washed clean, without spot or wrinkle.

Marriage

October 5, 2025
What’s the secret to a happy, wonderful marriage? A man, fully dependent on Jesus, and a woman, fully dependent on Jesus, come together, doing for their spouse what Jesus has done for the Church, learning to be professional forgivers - not letting anything linger in our hearts; being lightning quick repenters – not letting sin stay in the dark; and working together for each other’s holiness instead of our own personal happiness, being filled with the Spirit daily and walking in humility, honoring each other in all things.

Family/Parenting

September 21, 2025
Men, especially —the greatest calling on our lives is to love Jesus with our whole heart, and daily show the people under our care how beautiful and helpful and patient God’s authority is. Our calling as parents is to help our children believe that God’s authority is where life and safety and freedom and joy are found. This is gospel work! That is kingdom work. That is being an ambassador for the King of kings. That is carrying this incredible treasure in fragile clay jars that often break and crack and need repair. This is being a temple of the Holy Spirit, and making our homes a place where the Spirit lives, and moves, and is known.

Lament

September 14, 2025
David begins his lament with an understanding that we are emotional people. That we are reactionary, whether it’s the news or our kids did something or the person at work did this… When things in the world don’t make sense to us, when evil seems to come out on top again, anger and revenge and blame and retaliation and running our mouths all tend to be our go-to. David instructs us so wisely in this: When you feel agitated inside, let it remind you to trust in the Lord and delight in him. When you feel a need to let everyone know what your opinion is and whose side you’re on – let it remind you that being silent before the Lord is a better place to be. And when you feel that agitated anger rising up in you that makes you furious at “those people”... David says, give it up. It’s not helping anything. Put your hope in the Lord instead.

Practicing the Presence of God

September 7, 2025
Mary and Martha were blessed to have Jesus and his crew stop by their home in Bethany. Martha was distracted by all things hosting, while Mary was distracted by Jesus' words. She sat at his feet and soaked it all in, while Martha fumed. They had to say goodbye to Jesus that night, but those of us who have the Holy Spirit never have to have to hang up the phone. Abide means remain. Remain means don't hang up. Stay in constant connection all day long, like a branch never unplugs from the Vine.
