    The good news of great joy for all people is shocking news that we dare not get used to.

    Humans are complex creatures, aren’t we? Those we love we tend to hurt. We love God and yet we sin against God. We have goals and aspirations that are noble and strong , and yet we get tripped up by our own weakness along the way to fulfilling our goals. We can never seem to outrun the allure of ...read more

    Annas and Caiphas exhibit the truth that if we do not know God, we do not know ourselves. That produces insecurity, which, in turn, yields destructive defensiveness.

    A riddle to begin with today. Can you answer this question? How do two porcupines hug one another? Very carefully! It’s one of those encounters in which, no matter how you approach it, somebody is likely to get hurt. And we all know some porcupines. Any one of us can be a porcupine on any ...read more

    The concluding sermon of Nehemiah that considers the result of a life built with God at the center: When We Build with God at the Center, We will Overflow with Joy in all Things.

    (This is especially from 12:43ff) Today we come to the end of our study in Nehemiah—not that we have mined all the truths therein—we have only TOUCHED on chapter 13, which ends the book on a bit of a downer—seeing what happens when people don’t stay dedicated to God But that is NOT our focus ...read more

    Having joy is not dependent on circumstances but comes from God, is Jesus-specific, and something that we are called to practice.

    Introduction: A Joyless World As we continue listening to these songs for the road, we come to a song of joy. To begin I want to read a couple of quotes about joy. C.S.

    Intro: being a military brat growing up was a life on the move. For many the thought of re-location can be a scary proposition.
