Belonging At The King's Table Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

Love Well Pt. 2 Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 7, 2022

To be able to “Love Well” means I embrace the 4 letter word, “LOVE.” But I must embrace the original definition and application given to the word “Love” by God and as God. The sad reality is the word, “Love” has been twisted, made to be filled with lust and loveless ways today.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022

Finally, we learn why Yonah ran from the Word of Yahweh, and first chose death over life. Should God give people a chance to repent? Is it wrong, for God to show mercy? And if God did the right thing, who will be Yonah?

Let's start today by simply rereading Jonah 3. We need to get sucked back into our story, and there's no easier way to do it, than to just read it (NRSV updated): 3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the ...read more

Kingdom Greatness

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024

“Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

Rearview Mirror Faith: Remember Lot’s Wife

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025

A divided heart can’t follow Jesus forward; revival begins when we release the past and choose full surrender to the future God offers.

Every vehicle on the road has a rearview mirror. It’s necessary. It’s helpful. It tells you where you’ve been. But no one drives safely by staring into it. The moment the rearview mirror becomes your primary guide, disaster is only a matter of time. And that’s exactly the danger Jesus is warning ...read more
