Don't Lose What Is Already Good

Contributed by Ed Lu on Apr 21, 2023

Nahum whose name means comforter, chosen by God during a time of turmoil to deliver God’s verdict to the Assyrian empire straight into the heart of its capital - Nineveh. Isn’t it amazing when we choose to do what we are naturally good at, God uses us supernaturally to further advance His Kingdom?

I have been reading and meditating on the book of Nahum for our time today. It’s a book that’s easily lost, often ignored, hardly known, difficult to find, seldom turned (pages crisp) - some even describe it as “a hymn of hate” (NAC). Book about judgment and destruction, but don’t quit there, ...read more

Tripping On Jesus (Luke 7:17-35) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024

In one key way, Jesus isn't the Messiah people (including John) expected. Are we ok that this piece is missing, or does it make us trip on the idea that Jesus is Messiah, and thus trip on God? A narrative/literary approach to Luke.

Today, I'm going to try to tackle a few interconnected episodes. It's kind of a lot, but this whole section teaches one main thing, and if we want to hear that one thing, we need to grab it all at once. The simplest onramp to today's verses is to begin, simply, by rereading last ...read more
