Melanie takes us to the question “What Do We Believe by True Faith?” from the New City Catechism. We all need to think about what it means to have faith in the only one who can offer us true salvation.
Greg takes us to the question “What is Faith in Jesus Christ?” from the New City Catechism. We all need to think about what it means to have faith in the only one who can offer us true salvation.
Problems pile on until life feels more like a grave than renewed life, and we wonder where God is. The Book of Ruth opens with Naomi back from Moab empty and bitter, renaming herself Mara because the Almighty has dealt harshly with her—still certain God is King, yet unable to see whether that King still loves her. Is there hope when we find ourselves feeling the same way?
We often treat sin as a handful of inconsequential debts, so asking God for forgiveness—or forgiving someone else—can feel unnecessary. In Matthew 6:12, Jesus places both debts before us in a single petition: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Do we understand the balance we have run up?
Pastor Tim thinks about how the different aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit connect together as we arrive at the halfway point of our Twelve Days of Christmas journey to Epiphany.
Pastor Tim contemplates showing goodness on this Sixth Day of Christmas. How has God shown goodness to us and how can we show goodness to others?
You open what looks like a personal Christmas card and it’s just a pitch for insurance. There’s always the something being snuck by us, isn’t there? Jesus faced that same suspicion — how can we know He is really who He says He is?
Deep down, even people who come to God carry a fear that He will eventually give up on them — that sooner or later they’ll be shown the door. That fear is exactly what Jesus meets head-on in John 6.
As we look at the conclusion of Psalm 6 tonight, we explore how David emerges from deep despair even though things aren’t yet fully “right.”
What (or whom) do we trust in when everything seems uncertain? David takes us on a journey to the right place of trust as we continue in Psalm 6.
