  • The B-I-B-L-E

    On Bible Sunday, we celebrate God’s Word as living, active, and true—a source of comfort, courage, and eternal hope that has withstood every test of time. Discover why the Bible is more than a book—it’s God’s personal letter to us.

    Good MORNING, and Happy Bible Sunday. As I begin, I’ll acknowledge something we all know but rarely say out loud: there is a reason that the Bible has very thin, see through pages, and that’s because it is a really, really big book, and would probably weigh twice as much if it was printed on ...read more

  • Our Joy And God's Completion

    Paul reminds us that true joy comes from trusting a faithful God who begins, sustains, and completes His transforming work in all who follow Christ with grateful hearts.

    Our Joy and God’s Completion Good MORNING. Last week, we left Paul sitting in that Roman prison, as an ambassador in chains. Well, he’s still sitting there this week, though the guards have changed. New soldiers come in, and Paul keeps right on evangelizing them while writing a new letter to a ...read more

  • Ambassador In Chains

    True strength isn’t power or control, but courage — the boldness to speak Christ’s truth even in chains.

    Good MORNING. Paul’s description of himself as an ambassador in chains led me to one of history’s most underrated stories, so let’s start there. It was a long time ago, the year 1219. Everyone was dirty back then. It was the middle of the 5th crusade, a great war between Europe and Islam, and a ...read more

  • One Goal: To Live Is Christ

    What is the one thing your heart desires? Paul gives us encouragement this morning not only to make sure that the "One thing" is Jesus, and the spreading of the Gospel, but also to make sure that we don't let the worries of the world pull us away from that one thing. 

    Good Morning. Our epistle lesson today began with Paul’s word’s: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. When the Bible gives you a warning, it is there for a reason. Paul assumes his readers assume that they have ...read more

  • Good Cheer For The Right Thing

    Contributed on Oct 26, 2025

    When a paralytic’s friends brought him before Jesus, the savior’s first words to him were not “Rise and walk,” but “Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you.” Today we look at why forgiveness is the greatest miracle of all.

    Good MORNING. Today, we saw one of the most fun miracles in the Gospels, one just about every Jesus movie likes to include, the healing of a paralyzed man who gets dramatically lowered by ropes into Peter’s house through his roof. For context, Jesus had just returned from Gadara, a Gentile town ...read more
