Wonderfully Unsettling Grace

James Nored and Phil Ware explore the wonderfully unsettling nature of God's grace and His desire to make it accessible to everyone.

God perched His grace on a tree of torture in the middle of humanity's worst abuses so that grace would be available to everyone... even you!

I Will Cling to the Old Rugged Cross

Phillip Morrison reminds us where the journey of Holy Week ends and our new life in Christ begins, the cross and the empty tomb.

Like him, and because of him, we live and die to live again.

Beginning in Endings #1

Phil Ware reflects on the last tens days of Jesus' life before his crucifixion and points us to the hope of a new beginning found in Jesus' life ending.

We have new life because Jesus gave up his. We have a fresh beginning because Jesus chose to submit to an earthly ending.

Breaking Through the Clouds

Tom Norvell reminds us that our Pilot can land us even though we are surrounded by dark and ominous clouds.

If you find that you are surrounded by dark clouds and wonder if you will ever break through, keep believing.

This Brutal World

Max Lucado reminds us to be courageous in our times of trouble for we have put our faith in the one who has conquered.

Life is a dangerous endeavor. We pass our days in the shadows of ominous realities.

The Weather When Jesus Came

Phil Ware recalls a refreshing winter morning that reminds him of the weather when Jesus came.

What will your weather be this Christmas?

All in the Family

Phil Ware is using December to remind us how to welcome Jesus during this special time and what Jesus' coming means for each of us.

When God chose to come into our world through a child, he chose a family line that was every bit as messed up as our world.

Finish!

Phil Ware reminds us that we are called to accomplish the mission God has called us to do so that when our days on earth are over we can say we have finished the work he has given us to do.

As long as there is life, we have a mission and purpose to complete.

In the Footsteps of Jesus

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of an important reason to be baptized: Jesus was and said it was the right thing to do.

Jesus said this was the right thing for him to do!

Treasure

Phil Ware tells us a simple story of a mother's love to remind how our Father sees us as his treasure.

How can such a discovery, no matter how badly dirt-encrusted and stained, not be seen as a genuine treasure?

Willing to Be Powerful

Phil Ware writes out of the context of recent disasters and the loss of a mother and child to remind us that being a servant, offering ourselves in sacrificial love, is never a waste!

Dear God in heaven, we’d sure like to have a little bit of power to alter our irrelevance, lighten the burdens of others, and heal the wounds of the broken and despairing.

When Right Words Are Very Wrong

Phil reminds us that having right answers means very little if we don't treat people like Jesus did.

Right answers can never substitute for right living.

Legion No More!

Phil Ware reminds us the battle we are in with Satan with our lives and how Jesus can end our bondage to him.

Jesus came to bring us freedom from bondage to Satan and his power.

God Made Touchable

Phil Ware challenges us to remember that Jesus was God made touchable and that Communion makes God touchable to us again.

That is God with curly dark brown hair and wood shavings in his hair and callouses on his hands. That is God come live among us.

What Jesus' resurrection guarantees about our own.

I Doubt It: Never Die

Phil Ware continues his "I Doubt It" series focused today on Jesus' promise to Mary that those who believe in him will never die.

Can Jesus really promise us that we will never die?

Something Simple, Something Glorious

Phil Ware reminds us that though the bread and wine of this meal are simple, so were Jesus' words to Jairus' daughter, and those words changed everything.

Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this meal, but be reminded that Jesus makes simple things glorious!

The Gospel According to Nintendo

Phil Ware continue their series on Finding Our Story in God's Story of Redemption by focusing on the beauty of creation, the arts, and sharing God.

How do we leverage creation to cry out for the Creator to be the guiding force in our lives?

What Happened?

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that human sin and rebellion have left our world a broken mess, not the world God intended for us.

Why do death, disease, disasters, and devilish influences steer our world, our humanity, into such mess?

Greater Things

Phil Ware reminds us that Jesus made great promises in the context of his Last Supper and one of them promised that we would do greater things than he did.

Anchored in the context of the Last Supper, Jesus promises greater things!

The Capacity of Compassion Within Us

Jesus said that there is no greater love!

Made Out of Love

James Nored and Phil Ware continue their series on Finding My Story in God's Story and listening to what the Bible says about our world, about us, and about where to find life.

Why in the world did the Creator make us and give us such a beautiful place to live?

Broken Bread

Phil Ware continues his series of Communion Devotionals called Beyond Bread and Wine that focuses on all the depth, meaning, and significance to the Lord's Supper.

Why is it so important to recognize that the bread is broken? Because we are broken, too!

Finding My Story in God's Story

James Nored begins to share his great video series on the Story of Redemption, entitled Finding Your Story in God's Story.

Life's ultimate questions need answers. Do you know where to find them? Do you know how to share them? Do you know how your story fits into God's big picture?
