More Than What's in The Sacred Page

Phil Ware shares very frank and clear teaching about how Jesus resisted temptation and reminds us that simply knowing the Bible is not enough to win the war with Satan.

When Jesus was hungry, alone, and had been contemplating his mission that would end on a cross, Satan's temptations were quite enticing!

To Your Advantage?

Melissa Troyer reminds us of Jesus' strange promise of going away being better for His disciples than staying with them.

It was in the middle of one of these nitty-gritty down-to-earth conversations between Jesus and His disciples that He fleshed out the secret.

More Than...

Phil Ware talks about the need for our churches and our people to focus on becoming JesuShaped as they live the Kingdom of God and not go for gimmicks to solve our church problems.

Our churches not living on mission to make a perceivable difference in the lives of the disenfranchised and broken, like Jesus did, is disillusioning to young adults seeking to live for Jesus.

Finding Jesus' Heart for Ministry: Purpose

This post continues Phil Ware's look at the man with leprosy in Mark 1:35-45 and Jesus' loving interaction with the man after he had committed to live out the Father's purpose in his life.

If we are honest, so much of what we choose to do is based on our self-interest, while Jesus invites us to live life centered in God's purpose for us!

Jesus, After Christmas Coming

Phil Ware reminds us that Christmas isn't over, but now our role is to be Jesus' people, his presence, in our world.

Christmas isn't over; it has only just begun if we recognize that it is our job, together, to be Jesus to the world!

Here, Near, and Far

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead us in a virtual, DIY, worship through words and music using YouTube videos to call us to recognize God's call to mission for us as we seek to be God with Skin On to people here, near, and far.

God loves all the people of the world (John 3:16) and wants us to demonstrate his love for them so they will turn from their destructive ways and be saved (2 Peter 3:9).

Knowing God and Meeting Immanuel

Phil Ware shares insights about intimately knowing God and Immanuel being real to us in our daily lives as we seek to be Jesus' disciples.

Let's not settle for religion, going to church, or fast-food spirituality when God longs to fill that hole in our soul !

The Andrew Effect: Jesus Promises His Presence

Phil Ware invites into the "Andrew Effect" and reminds us that Jesus promised to be present with us as we live out the four moves of Phil calls the Andrew Effect

Can we really expect to meet Jesus? The sad reality is that many folks give up on meeting and experiencing Jesus, personally.

This Sanctuary

Melissa Troyer writes powerfully and poignantly about the journey she and her husband, Daniel, have traveled to live love and mission and family, together, finding God as their sanctuary.

I think if I had known all we would face, I couldn't have breathed. Except for one thing. God would be with us.

When the Cost Is too High!

Max Lucado reminds us the real price tag for greed.

If anything costs you your family or your faith, the price is too high!

Live Beyond

Phil Ware writes about leaving a legacy with his children and grandchildren to pass on faith and be passionate disciples of Jesus.

I invite you to join me in living beyond the horizon of our children's faith!

Please, Help Me Learn to Pray

Phil Ware provides a host of resources on prayer and how to grow our prayer lives.

I feel like I am launching my prayers upward, as if I was shooting bbs toward heaven, only to have them hit a metal ceiling and fall at my feet, mocking me with their ineffectiveness!

One-way Missionaries

Bruce Logue reminds us that people still do pick up their cross and follow Jesus and the Lord uses them to make an eternal difference!

They took a coffin, which they packed with their belongings, along with a one-way ticket.

Finding Jesus: Reaching for God, Not Substitutes

Phil Ware continues his series of posts on the Immanuel Project, the way Jesus promised we could know and experience God.

Where can we go to experience God and fill the hole inside of us?
