No Longer Any Sea

The glorious future when the sea is no more!

Keeping My Eyes on the Prize

Phil Ware continues his series on Jesus and transformation and focuses today on our walking with Jesus each day in the gospels and learning his words and talking with him and taking on on his character and compassion as the Spirit transforms us.

Why are we on this trip?

Resurrection 2.8: With Christ

Phil Ware continues his series on Resurrection 2.0 and focuses this week on a way we can share with Jesus in his saving work even if we were not present when it happened years ago.

Maybe you're like me and have imagined these kinds of things as you've read the story of Jesus.

Resurrection 2.7: Let the Clouds Remind You!

Phil Ware continues his series on Resurrection 2.0 and focuses this week on Jesus' return in the clouds which is guaranteed by his resurrection from the dead.

As followers of Jesus, the clouds hold a message of hope for us, not just a warning.

Jesus knew the sting of sarcastic ridicule and unbelief from his family

O God, please, will you let me see a little harvest... Please!

Worship in the Real World

Phil Ware reminds us that there should be no line between sacred and secular for followers of Jesus.

Why is it so easy to draw this line?

Heaven's Window

Phil Ware shares his second post in his four article series on Peter's confession, focusing this time on our tendency to reduce faith to words and not actions and discipleship.

Doesn't discipleship involve more than just saying the right words?

The Question

Phil Ware begins a four post series on Jesus' question to the disciples about who they thought he was and Jesus comes and asks us this question personally, so what will our answer be?

When's the last time you thought about life's most important question?

Connecting People of Other Cultures with Jesus

Phil Ware continues his series on 'The Andrew Effect' and connecting people with Jesus, this time focusing on including people of other cultures, races, and languages.

Are we willing to take the risk and reach outside our comfort zones to connect people with Jesus?

The Who's Who that Really Matters

Rubel Shelly reminds us that God's book of Who's Who is only filled with those who are servants.

So how do I get my name in this book?

Future Safe

Phil Ware reminds us that true thanksgiving is rooted in our future being safe in Jesus and sharing in his glory when he comes for us.

How secure to feel about your safety as we move into what seems to be an increasingly uncertain future?

Finding Our Path to God

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of both the exclusive claim of Jesus as the only way to God and the inclusive fellowship of welcoming all people who truly believe in him.

The Bible and the early church were both exclusive and inclusive about salvation and fellowship.

Looking for Jesus at Christmas

Rick Brown talks about Jesus not just missing from the nativity, but also from Christmas and from our lives and yet we can use this time to restore him to his rightful place in our lives.

So we are supposed to give thanks for this?

Where the Lines Blur

Melissa Troyer is on the road with her family visiting West Texas where she was raised and she and her family encounter God in an old rest stop where earth and sky meet in a glorious gold, pink, and orange reminder of God's presence.

But here in the place where lines blur, between land and sky, that small fold between day and night, the very place where great danger lies, it is here where we experience God's presence like never before.

I Doubt It: World Changers

Phil Ware continues his series called 'I Doubt It' and focuses today on Jesus' call and promise that his eleven apostles and those that followed them would turn the world upside down with their message of good news and hope and grace.

Despite early Jewish opposition and later Roman persecution and martyrdom, their passion, conviction, and impact could not be stopped.

I Doubt It: You Feed Them

Phil Ware continues his series on 'I Doubt it' focusing this week on Jesus' challenge to the apostles to feed the five thousand.

Will we hold a miracle in our hands? My experience says, “Yes!”

I Doubt It: The Fields are White

Phil Ware continues his 'I doubt it!' series and looks at Jesus' promise that the fields are ready for harvest.

Can we trust Jesus' words are as true today as they were when he said them?

A Day of Surprise?

Paul Faulkner reminds us to greet each day as a gift of something fresh, new, and something that has never happened before or will again.

Things are not always the same. You wake up in the morning, and things are changing every day.
