CLOAKS AND STONES 17:08

4d ago17:08

17:08

They laid their cloaks on the road—not just as a gesture of welcome, but as a sign of surrender. A letting go. That moment asked something of them. And it asks something of us too. So here's the question: What are you still holding onto? What stays wrapped around your shoulders, even as Jesus passes by? Luke 19:28-40…

What’s the Point of Having a Body? 25:41

4d ago25:41

25:41

Why do we have bodies and what are they for? 🤔 Our bodies are for our neighbors. 💝 When we think about loving our neighbors, it's easy to want to dodge the hard parts. 🏃‍♂️ We might prefer to care about issues happening far away rather than dealing with the messy relationships right in front of us (because it doesn’t take as much work). 🌍 But love …

ADMIRERS, ASSOCIATES OR FOLLOWERS? APRIL 6, 2025 17:43

11d ago17:43

17:43

Soren Kierkegaard, Danish theologian and philosopher, said that Christ did not come to make admirers. He came to make followers. You can admire Abraham Lincoln, but you can’t become him. You can admire Michael Jordon or Caitlin Clark, but you can’t become them. To admire Christ is to live a life untransformed by his grace. To follow him is to becom…

Taking Care of Our Bodies 24:27

16d ago24:27

24:27

Why should we take care of our bodies? 💪 Our bodies are a gift from God 🎁, and while they're not perfect (thanks to sin) 😔, they’re still worth taking care of. But here's the interesting part: we’re not caring for our bodies to prove our worth to God or anyone else. Instead, we’re maintaining them so we can better serve others. 🤝 Think about it: wh…

What Was Jesus Doing Before He Started His Ministry? 21:36

16d ago21:36

21:36

❓What was Jesus doing the first 29 years of his life? ⏳ Jesus's time before he started his ministry was not wasted. ✨ If he fulfilled the whole of the law, even 15-year-old table-making Jesus matters. 🌟 While we often focus on His miracles and teaching, Jesus actually spent more years not doing ministry than doing it. 🪚 Think about it — Jesus was a…

REPENT! MARCH 23, 2025 20:22

26d ago20:22

20:22

Repentance is not one of our favorite topics of discussion. In the Season of Lent, and in the Gospel of Luke, the subject is unavoidable. If we believe that we have faith and repent so that we can earn God’s favor and avoid God’s punishment, repentance is like a bad report card. Luke’s message today unflinchingly declares that we cannot avoid the t…

🤔 Ever wonder what Jesus was like as a teenager? 🏃‍♂️ There's actually only one story about teen Jesus in the Bible when He ditched his parents to hang at the temple, schooling all the religious leaders. 😅 When his worried parents finally found him, he hit them with the classic "didn't you know I'd be at my Father's house?" - the kind of response t…

Ever thought about how weird it is that God became a baby? 🤔 Not just any baby, but a fetus? 👶 If God could choose any way to enter the world, why start as a tiny cluster of cells? 🧬 Why not just appear as a fully-grown adult, like a superhero dropping from the sky? ⚡️ God chose to experience everything humans do, starting from the very beginning. …

The season of Epiphany begins at Jesus' baptism with a heavenly announcement, “You are my son, the beloved.” The season ends with an announcement from the cloud, “This is my son, the Chosen. Listen to him.” Epiphany is about the multi-faceted revelation of Jesus' identity. “Who is Jesus?” is the prime question we must sort out before we can follow …

Jesus says hard things a lot. Perhaps no words uttered by the Lord are more difficult than “Love your enemies.” His call to forgive those who harm us and bless those who curse us are not mainstream. No Liam Neeson movie would garner an audience if he went around forgiving. No, we like revenge and retribution. We like to hold on to grudges. The ques…
