    If you want all that Jesus has for you, recognize that He is God and trust Him with your life.

    Pastor Tullian Tchividjian talks about losing his car keys at least twice a year. He’s late for a meeting or an appointment and can’t find his car keys. Does that ever happen to you? I know it happens to me far more times than I care to admit. He’s certain that either his wife or one of his ...read more

    The “false prophet” or “Antichrist” will perform great signs and will deceive the inhabitants of the earth, including bringing peace on earth … but that “peace” will come with a price.

    [Play “Imagine” by John Lennon.] Wow. Sounds like “Heaven on earth,” doesn’t it? “Nothing to kill or die for” … “No need for greed or hunger/A brotherhood of man” … “Imagine all the people/Living life in peace … Sharing all the world … And the world will live as one” ...read more

     | 3,282 views

    Believers in Christ are: 1) A People of God’s Possession (1 Peter 2:9c), 2) A People of Proclamation (1 Peter 2:9d), 3) A Privileged People (1 Peter 2:9e) and finally, 4) A Pardoned People (1 Peter 2:10).

    1 Peter 2:9–10 (9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood), a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not ...read more

    Blameless Living Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 16, 2021
     | 3,874 views

    Peter called his readers to fortify their testimonies with two crucial aspects of righteous living: 1) a personal, godly discipline that is inward and private 1 Peter 2 :11), and a 2) personal, godly deportment that is outward and public 1 Peter 2 :12).

    1 Peter 2:11-12 [11] Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. [12] Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the ...read more

    The Mystery Of The Missing Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025
     | 173 views

    Rediscovering the gift we forgot. A day that disappeared from our calendars long before it vanished from our hearts.

    Part 1 – The Beginning of Rest We live in a restless world. We measure our worth by how many emails we answer before breakfast, how many miles we drive, how many boxes we check before nightfall. The very first full day of human existence was nothing like that. The first sound Adam and Eve ever ...read more

     | 406 views

    God fights the battles we cannot win, turning fear into faith, valleys into blessing, and surrender into miraculous victory through His power.

    INTRODUCTION — WHEN LIFE SURROUNDS YOU There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the pressure is so great, the crisis so overwhelming, that even the strongest, most seasoned saint whispers under their breath, “Lord… I can’t do this.” We might not admit it in public, but we’ve all felt it. ...read more

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view.

    Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 205 views

    Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

    Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more

    She asks the question any of us would ask, “How is this going to work?” Ancient peoples may not have known the intricacies of modern embryonic science, but they knew how babies were made. Mary knew she had not yet consummated her marriage to Joseph.

    If it weren’t for Jesus, Mary would be the star of Christmas. People all over the world love Mary. Get this: there are about 4,200 churches dedicated to Mary in the United States alone.1 There are likely tens of thousands more churches named after Mary around the world, but no one knows for sure. ...read more

    What Does Jesus Write About Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 7, 2025
     | 162 views

    Jesus removes condemnation, restores dignity, and invites us into freedom. His grace breaks shame’s power and opens a future no accusation can steal.

    There are moments in life when the soul collapses under the weight of its own thoughts. We look in the mirror and see not a face but a failure, not a person but a problem. A knot forms inside us that no amount of effort can untie. Every word of encouragement slides off. Every accomplishment seems ...read more

    Oliver Cromwell asked for a portrait “warts and all.” Paul writes 1 Corinthians the same way—seeing the flaws but starting with grace. In 1:1–9 we’ll see our called identity and God’s faithfulness to sustain us.

    Today we’re going to be in the first 9 verses of 1 Corinthians. While studying these verses, I came across a story that I’d like to share with all of you. Oliver Cromwell It’s a story of Oliver Cromwell. If you’re unaware of who he is, I’ll give you an extremely brief summary: he was a political ...read more
