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.

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?

The Father’s Heart

And it doesn’t matter where you are—regardless of the loneliness, pain, sorrow, suffering, or grief that you are right in the middle of right now—

your Heavenly Father is with you, and He loves you, and He will carry you through that time.

And He’s inviting you to come home so that He can embrace you and restore you as a beloved, forgiven child in His family.

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?

Living Grace-filled Lives

The reason that we can be people of hope in a hopeless world is that the grace of Jesus Christ has changed everything for us. It has changed who we are, it has changed how we live, it has changed where we are going.

A Vision of Hope & Redemption (Revelation 4-7)

The whole idea of the book of Revelation—the whole purpose—is that God wants you to know, in a general sense, what is going to happen in the future so that you can have resilient faith as that future unfolds.

Starting Strong 2: Training

Training in godliness helps us to discern truth from lies and create habits of holiness that help us stay on track as we follow Jesus into forever. As we grow in godliness, then we can help others train in godliness. This helps them to become more like Jesus, and then they can help others, and so on, and so on. And that’s how the Kingdom of God grows.
