    Has western culture gone too far for redemption? Scripture would indicate that our society is flirting with divine judgement.

    “I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am!

    As followers of Jesus, we face a daily choice between living for the kingdom of culture or the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God brings love, grace, and hope, while the kingdom of culture often focuses on power and control.

    Today, we're going to talk about a cool story from the Bible that has a lot to do with the choices we make every day. It's about two kingdoms colliding and the tough decisions that come with it. So, let's dive in! Our story comes from John 18:28-39. It's about Jesus being brought before Pontius ...read more

For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more
