    Biblical obedience. Daily surrender. Sacrificial love. Passionate evangelism. Unashamed holiness. These are not lofty, elite-level Christian goals—they are the standard Jesus set. The normal Christian life, in Jesus’ eyes, is anything but lukewarm.

    Go! And Live What Jesus Expected Revelation 3:15-16 (NLT): "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Introduction: Setting the ...read more

    Have you noticed how frequently Jesus is depicted eating? Luke mentions 19 meals, 13 unique to this gospel alone. This reveals something special about Jesus—He valued meals not just for food but as powerful opportunities for ministry, relationship-building, and extending God's kingdom.

    A Glutton If you've read the gospel of Luke - have you noticed just how often Jesus is depicted as eating? It's everywhere - there are 19 meals in Luke, 13 of which are unique to this gospel.

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more

    Jesus was busy but never in a hurry. We can follow His example by prioritizing our time and protecting it based on our priorities. However, we must remember that our worth is not determined by our productivity.

    Remember that verse in Ephesians 5:15-17? It's all about making the most of our time to do what God wants us to do. Today, we're diving into the principle: ditching the rush. Jesus was always on the go, but never in a rush. He knew how to prioritize and protect his time. And guess what? Our worth ...read more
