Which Way Will I Run?

James Nored and Phil Ware share in video, words, and images some of the many reasons Christians have to believe that Jesus was raised from the dead and is Lord, Christ, Jesus, and Son of God!

Will I run in faith to follow the Jesus of the empty tomb even if it means I have to follow him to a cross of my own?

Who Do I Say that Jesus Is?

James Nored and Phil Ware share in word and video the meaning of Jesus' trials before Pilate, Herod, and the Jewish Ruling Council.

Jesus' trials focused on his true identity.

Unless a Seed

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of the dark night that began the long, painful, and lonely journey of Jesus through his Passion to bring us to God.

Jesus had many opportunities to walk away from the shame and pain of the cross, but he chose the Father's will and our need over his comfort.

I Will Not Abandon You!

Phil Ware writes about Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit focusing on John 14 and Jesus' promise to not leave us as orphans but to come to us and show himself to us and be in us and make his home with us.

What can we really expect the Spirit to do for us, today, in our world?

Who Will Carry Us?

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead through worship in song, the Lord's Supper, a powerful message from God's word, and a blessing to enable us to worship from home or with family and friends in a meaningful way and ask this important question: Who will

Young children can fall asleep anywhere and sleep peacefully, trusting that those who love them will carry them where they need to go!

Children of God by the Spirit

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead through worship in song, the Lord's Supper, a powerful message from God's word, and a blessing to enable us to worship from home or with family and friends in a meaningful way.

How can we be shaped by both our Father's nature and his nurture?

Who Do You Say I Am?

James Nored and Phil Ware challenge us to answer the same question Jesus asked his first followers at Caesarea Philippi: 'Who do you say I am?'

At a place with great spiritual and physical significance, Jesus challenged his followers to decide about his identity.

Set Free by the Spirit

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead through worship in song, the Lord's Supper, a powerful message from God's word, and a blessing to enable us to worship from home or with family and friends in a meaningful way.

Paul insists that we serve under a new covenant, a covenant not based on law but on the life-giving Spirit of God.

To the Least of These, Like Jesus

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that we not only must become like children but as Jesus' followers, we must value children.

Largely, in the days when Jesus came, children were only valued if they were wanted. I wonder what history will say in the future about us?

Don't Make the Detestable Digestible

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead through worship in song, the Lord's Supper, a powerful message from God's word, and a blessing to enable us to worship from home or with family and friends in a meaningful way.

The call to be holy is not a call to be self-righteous, but to humbly approach God, live holy lives, and love sinners as Jesus did!

Jesus Came to Be One of Us! (SOR 4.1)

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us to push past the glittering lights of Christmas and see that God came to be one of us in the gritty and dangerous birth of Jesus of Nazareth to a virgin named Mary and her faithful to Torah husband to be, Joseph the car

God didn't come to our world as a heavenly tourist with special arrangements to keep him safe and to give him special treatment in his journey through mortality with all its grit and danger.

Forgiveness and Power

Phil Ware reminds us that God can make us better after we have been broken and use us to do his work in the Kingdom because of two things: forgiveness we receive in Jesus through baptism and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Can I actually be better?

Leaving the Imprint of a Mother's Faith

Phil Ware writes about Mary as the mother of Jesus and reminds that Jesus, along with every other child, was 'wet cement' given by God to form into the person the Father wants them to be.

What's a mom supposed to do with wet cement?
