The life Jesus offers does not happen by accident. Every day, our habits and routines are forming us into a particular kind of person. The question is not whether we are being formed, but by what. In a culture and economy designed to fragment our attention and keep us constantly connected to screens, following Jesus […]

God created us for communion with Himself. Like the temple in Jerusalem, our lives were meant to be places where we meet with God. Yet over time, other things can quietly occupy that sacred space. In Jesus' day, economic interests, cultural assumptions, and long-accepted religious practices had slowly crowded the temple until the place intended […]

In countless visible and invisible ways, our digital environment is shaping us. The devices we use, the content we consume, and the habits we repeat each day are quietly influencing our attention, desires, relationships, and spiritual lives. If we hope to follow Jesus faithfully in our digital age, we must begin by honestly examining the […]

We live in a world that is increasingly defined by distraction. The devices we carry, the media we consume, and the rhythms we inhabit continually compete for our attention, shaping our desires and influencing who we become. Without intending to, many of us find ourselves swept along by a culture of constant connectivity, hurriedness, and […]

  Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process. This summer will take us from Psalm 11 […]

We live in a cultural moment where people are longing for wisdom, yet increasingly uncertain where to find it. James' letter speaks to this longing—not with vague spiritual sentiment, but with direct, practical wisdom for forming resilient lives of faith grounded in Jesus, the embodiment of God's wisdom.

Doubt is part of the journey of faith. After His resurrection, Jesus’ meeting with Thomas teaches us about His heart for the doubting: compassion and invitation into deeper trust and surrender. He offers joy and life to those who trust Him and follow His way of life.

Jesus is not what we expect but better than we imagine. He is an unexpected King; a humble servant-King. He is bringing an unexpected Kingdom; He welcomes us and our “enemies” into His Kingdom. He is bringing an unexpected salvation; He is saving the world by saving us from sin and death. Will we reject […]

Work begins with God. Before sin entered the world, God placed humanity in His creation with a calling: to cultivate, create, steward, and serve. Work is not primarily about earning money or proving worth—it is about imaging God and participating in His work in the world. Whether you work with your hands or through relationships, […]

  Jesus came to us in the middle of our world, rife with poverty and struggle. By His birth and through His life, we see that He can truly identify with us and that God is actively working to redeem His broken world.

When reflecting on the history of redemption, it's clear that God writes long stories. Long chapters of conflict, confusion, darkness, silence, and a lot of waiting often mark those s. Advent reminds us that the story of Jesus begins not with resolution but with people waiting in the midst of prolonged tension. The Gospel according […]
