When Heaven Sends Help: Understanding The Holy Spirit
Contributed on Sep 9, 2025
In sports, we often talk about “home-field” advantage. But the Holy Spirit is better than the “home field” advantage. Again, He is the outside power you need. He is the outside power you need for life, for holiness, and for witness.
Just before Jesus died on the cross, He sat the Disciples down for a lengthy training session. Knowing He was only hours from departing, Jesus poured in them. It’s right here that Jesus introduces the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Farewell Discourse by Bible scholars. Today’s Scripture “If ...read more

The Name You Can Rely On
Contributed on Sep 2, 2025
Jesus stepped in, not to handle something minor, but to take on our greatest need—our separation from God. His sacrifice doesn’t just make life “nicer.” It changes everything. Do you see Jesus as someone who did you a small favor or as your Savior who paid your greatest debt?
Several decades ago, Gary Campman wrote about five love languages. They are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts.

Mention My Name
Contributed on Aug 26, 2025
At another level, Jesus’ words are perplexing. How could I possibly do something on par with Jesus? After all, how could I play soccer like Lionel Messi? How could I direct a film like Steven Spielberg? Or how could I cook like Gordon Ramsey?
Give me your full attention for a moment by allowing me to see your beautiful faces while I ask you this question. Which would you prefer? Walking with Jesus for three years like the Disciples did? Or would you prefer the Holy Spirit inside you, as believers experience today? Find John 14 with me, ...read more

Jesus: The Name You Can Trust
Contributed on Aug 20, 2025
That’s the image Jesus chooses—God isn’t placing you down the street, He’s building you into His house. This isn’t an apartment, a tent, or a hotel, but a home – a permanent home. This is a place where you belong. God’s children live in God’s house.
Anxiety in our culture is pervasive. Anxiety is now the most common mental health disorder in the U.S. About one in five people you’ll see on any given day deal with anxiety.1 Find John 14 if you will. In a time where there are rising crime rates, rising costs of living, international crises, ...read more

Backstabbers
Contributed on Aug 12, 2025
Jesus didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did the other Twelve. Shakespeare cannot have Jesus say, “Et tu, Judas,” because Jesus knew what was coming. And even though Jesus knew what was coming, He didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did any other disciple over those three years.
Find John 13 with me, if you will. Many of you recognize the phrase “Et Tu, Brute?” immediately. It’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where the Roman dictator speaks to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar recognizes Brutus as one of his ...read more
