Unto You Is Born - The Lord Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 17, 2023

In the 1980's there was a television program called “Who's the Boss?” That question could be asked of any person's life. Who is it that calls the shots? Who gives direction? Who is in charge? Frank Sinatra sang, “I did it my way”. But sadly, that does not always work out well.

Strong Enough To Serve

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

The Privilege Of Proclaiming The Gospel (Ephesians 3:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Paul catches himself, and talks about how God has blessed him, by giving him the job of telling people what Jesus has done for them, and for the world. Jesus is God's checkmate.

Over the past two weeks, in chapter 2, we've seen Paul very briefly explain what God has done for all people-- Jews and Gentiles-- through Jesus. God made one person, tearing down the wall separating Jew from Gentile, making it so everyone has peace with God and with each other through ...read more
