Unity

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jan 29, 2015

We can’t convert the world from its emphasis on self to a life in Christ unless we are united in purpose-unless we love one another. When we ignore the will of God in order to have our own way, the result is discord and disunity. Unity begins with us.

Exodus To Emmanuel

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025

From Egypt’s bondage to Calvary’s grace, the same God who delivered Israel now dwells within us—transforming law into love and distance into presence.

Every miracle in the Old Covenant was a rehearsal for the grace of the New. Every shadow in Moses’ story finds its ...read more

(Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim.
