What is Core: Communing

Doing What is Good to All People

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God to seek his help in our brokenness and challenge us to do good to all people as we have opportunity.

We are committed to making Jesus' death, last words, and future vision real in our fellowship and our world, now!

The Lord is Near

Phil Ware reminds us that in our darkest times the Lord, our good Shepherd, wants to be near us and make his presence known to us.

The Lord longs to be near us when we feel most alone, especially in our last journey through the valley of shadows.

What Jesus Can't Do!

Phil Ware looks at Mark 6:1-6 and reminds us that this story is for us because we are Jesus' family, relatives, and hometown!

Why did Mark include it in his gospel? After all, his gospel is the shortest and most compact story of Jesus among the four gospels!

Teach Us to Pray #3: Together Experience

Phil Ware, with the help of Grady King, reminds us that prayer is a together experience in much of experience and God calls us to share this experience together, then Grady King gives us some added insight and an exercise to help us through the next week.

When Jesus taught on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount, he shifted from individual prayer in private to prayer shared with others

What I Don't Remember about Christmas

Jordan shares this powerful post that was highlighted on The Today Show with our Heartlight.org audience.

Jesus picked this beginning because he knew our idols would someday reek of perfectionism and opulence, of measuring up and looking the part, of vanity.

Love Language with Jesus?

Phil Ware reminds us how important it is to use love language with those who are precious to us and we can begin by doing this with Jesus.

The best way I know to start trying this love language shift is to use it with Jesus.

Adopted into the Family

Phil Ware shares a powerful story about his foster grandson and how that helps us understand what it means to be adopted into God's family.

We come with bad habits, wounds, and all sorts of unfortunate baggage. It takes awhile for us to unlearn them!

What Is Your Price?

Max Lucado challenges us to think about how many of us give up our values and most precious life connections for far less than millions of dollars because we are greedy for something.

When questioned, most people questioned would give up many precious things for 10 million dollars. Would you?

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.

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?

When the Cost Is too High!

Max Lucado reminds us the real price tag for greed.

Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you.

Family

Brian McCutchen reminds us of the importance of family

Where can we go to know we are loved and safe from the storm?

Kryptonite of Grace

Phil Ware challenges us with a hard truth about our low expectations of what we believe Jesus can do with us, for us, and through us -- are we, the church, the Nazareth of today?

Why in the world would Mark tell this story about what Jesus couldn't do after telling about four powerful miracles Jesus did?

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.

Dinner with Abba

Phil Ware reminds us that the cross was personal to Jesus and to us and because of it, we come to God as our 'Abba Father.'

Communion is a reminder of why we belong at the Father's Table of grace.
