This Week Waves of faith and doubt As we continue our reading of Matthew, the Holy Scriptures show us believers who had faith in God and his abilities to save them, yet they doubted because of some adversity. The true answer to doubt is not found in the great miracle that removes adversity, but in…

This Week Satisfaction There’s nothing more satisfying than . . . what? According to a renowned cricket player, there’s nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent. We might all complete the sentence differently, but if we leave Jesus out of it, then our satisfaction is bound to be lacking in some way.…

This Week To live is Christ and to die is gain Scripture is much more than a guide for holy living. It reveals Jesus to us: our Savior, our Lord, and our friend. Scripture, though, does teach us many lessons we need to know for life and for death. As we continue our journey through…

This Week Too familiar In Matthew 13:53-58, Jesus is without honor because he is only a prophet in the minds of so many locals. Far be it from us to trivialize who Jesus is and what he has done. It’s the same story it has been our whole lives, but it’s still amazing and life-changing.…

This Week Lord remind me . . . when bad things happen Bad stuff happens in life. We all know it. We all experience it. This side of heaven, Jesus never tells us otherwise and actually makes it clear, “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33).  Despite this humbling reality, we rejoice this Christmas…

This Week God is with us Sometimes the little words are the most important and the most important to be reminded of. We can all put happy fronts on social media and Christmas cards. We can also do a pretty good job in person, but we all have moments of loneliness, and they can easily…

This Week Thankful for grace Throughout November, we have been thankful for the significant moments in our lives, for the people God puts in our lives, and for the fruits of faith seen around us.
