In Matthew 16, Jesus reveals who He is and His mission on earth — and consequently, what it means to follow Him. Then with striking clarity and purpose, He challenges His followers to step out in mission with Him. God’s mission isn’t just an abstract idea—it is revealed through Jesus, and it calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow…

The Apostle Paul now turns his attention to the foundational relationships in a believer's life - the relationships we experience in the home. And he starts by addressing those who are married. He gives one sentence to wives and one to husbands. Just a few short words, but they will produce a life changing impact upon any marriage if husbands and w…

God’s mission doesn’t stop at our borders—it reaches every nation. In Isaiah 66, we see a beautiful picture of people from all over the world bringing their worship as an offering to the Lord.

God isn’t distant or hidden. From the pages of Exodus, we see a God who actively reveals Himself to the world. This week, we’ll explore how God made Himself known in Egypt and how He continues to do so today through His people and His mission.

We've been saved by Jesus from out of our old, dead life. And He's saved us into a brand new life with Him.

In Luke 19:28–40, people welcomed Him as King with palm branches and open hearts. But what about us today? Will we receive Him in our own lives—with praise, surrender, and trust?

Occult spiritual practices are nothing new. False teachers attempted to sway the church at Colossae into believing that if a person didn't have these kinds of spiritual experiences then that person didn't truly know God. Paul makes quick work of this false teaching by showing the Colossians that the only spirituality that matters is the one that is…
