Held By Grace

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025

Grace doesn’t just forgive; it holds. We stop reaching for a God who might forgive and rest in a God who already has.

>> The Reach The human heart was made for connection—with God, with one another, with meaning that outlives the dust. And yet everywhere you go, from the narrow alleys of Karachi to the busy malls of Kuwait City, you can feel the same invisible tension pulling at people’s souls. Everyone ...read more

Scandalous Grace Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 17, 2025

The Priorities Of Jesus And His Family Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 7, 2025

This passage seems to reveal how Mary, Joseph and Jesus prioritized God’s things in their routines, regards (or affections), and relationships.

Today, as we continue our study in the book of Luke, we come to a rather peculiar passage that provides a rare glimpse into Jesus’ childhood. The other gospels vary in how much they share about Jesus before his public ministry begins. Matthew devotes about 48 verses to Jesus’ early years (some of ...read more
