The Kingdom of Heaven is Near

Jesus not only fulfilled the old covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants. He also gave us a new covenant of grace, and that covenant of grace was applied to you personally in your baptism.

The King has Come

You are a child of the high King of heaven who has begun his reign. He reigns in our hearts, he reigns in this world, and one day, all the world will see Jesus for the great king he is.

Grace for the Humble

…the moment when we empty ourselves of all our self-centered pride and self-righteous judgments, Jesus rushes in with more of His grace to draw us closer to Him.

Living in Love, Waiting in Hope

Because of Jesus—His life, His death, and His resurrection—the same power of God that raised Jesus from the dead is also at work in you right now. It’s active in your life, strengthening your faith, growing your love, and fortifying your hope.

Chains Broken, Lives Freed

If physical freedom is what we need to be free, most of us will experience a life of frustration. But what if God wants to give us another kind of freedom, a freedom that brings joy even when we are in prison? How can we live with that kind of freedom?

Blinded to See

The good things of this world are not the ultimate prize of life. They only foreshadow the greater things of the life to come in the new heaven and earth with Jesus. Jesus is the ultimate prize of life.

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

For when we look at what Jesus taught his disciples about prayer in Luke 11, we see that prayer is all about relationship, the relationship between us and God. That relationship is a gift given to us by Jesus.

The Day Grace Spoke

If our eyes are closed to what God sets before us, then the arc and trajectory of our life will never be what God intends for it to be….

And because each and every one of us only has one precious life to live, that would be tragic.

…How can we have our eyes opened to all that God has for us?

Life in the Spirit

Living according to the Spirit means turning away from our sinful desires and focusing instead on Jesus, the new life He gives us, and the guidance that He gives us through His Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the one who helps us to focus on Jesus and His many blessings and gifts to us.

Unshakeable Hope

Your war with God is over because God has reconciled you, and me, and everyone else who believes in Jesus, to Himself—and He did that by paying the full cost of our forgiveness and giving us His righteousness.
