Because He Stayed: Why You Can Trust God

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 5, 2025

Jesus stayed on the cross when leaving was easier. His staying reveals God’s faithfulness, secures our salvation, and proves He can be trusted forever.

Trust is a fragile thing. It rises slowly and breaks quickly. It is shaped by what we have lived through more than what we have learned. Many people want to trust God, and many say they do, but beneath the surface there is a tremble, a hesitation, a quiet fear that maybe God will treat them the ...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

He Knows My Cry

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025

Jesus knows the deepest cry of the human soul; He entered our darkness, carried our pain, and rises as the God who hears us.

There are moments in the human journey when language becomes too small. Grief too large. Silence too heavy. And the soul… too tired to pretend. Moments when we don’t simply pray — we cry. Not the gentle kind. Not the kind you can tuck into a sentence and offer politely at prayer meeting. I’m ...read more

Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025

Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more
