    Asking For Your Inheritance

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 8,328 views

    Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

    They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

     | 449 views

    When life feels most overwhelming, God lovingly prunes us—not to punish or limit us, but to free us from distractions, deepen our roots in Christ, and make us abundantly fruitful for His glory.

    Pruned for His Glory John 15:1-5 Why is it that when life feels most chaotic—our calendars full, our energy drained—we feel the least spiritually alive? What if the very chaos we’re resisting is what God is pruning to make room for real growth? We look across life’s horizon and see endless ...read more

    The Gospel According To Thorns

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 369 views

    The profound meaning we find in looking at thorns is that the crown of thorns that was thrust upon Jesus’ head was a deliberate symbol of Him taking on our sin. Innocent Jesus Christ took on our sin onto Himself and paid for it. It’s all right there in the thorns.

    THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THORNS VARIOUS PASSAGES #thorns INTRODUCTION Every week when I mow my yard I come around a particular large bush that was planted around my propane tank I just get shredded on whatever arm and leg that happens to be on the inside as I try to mow around it.
