    1. Today we’re covering one of the most counter-culture passages in all of the Bible. Really it’s the teaching that separates Christianity from everything else. In Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus has the nerve, the audacity to command us to let go of our need for revenge and to love our ...read more

The more we realize that we may not be as centered as we’d like to believe. Show me a centered life… and ...read more
