At these times when we are tempted to lose our faith and hope, we need to remember that God will engineer a rematch in such cases, and He has rigged the outcome by giving us an unbeatable weapon – His...

Personally, I can’t even imagine Jesus praying for me. And yet we are told multiple times in Scripture that He does. This isn’t talked about or preached about a great deal anymore, but Jesus intercede...

While Mark likely never traveled with Jesus, he clearly was familiar with him. It is likely that Jesus visited his home while in Jerusalem. And it is certain that the early church used his home as a m...

During His priestly prayer, His reference to Judas as the son of perdition is rather unsettling, but it’s also important for understanding Jesus’ ministry on earth. ...

Our hope keeps us anchored when the world shakes and wants us to freak out. We don’t. Instead, we lift our vision to God and the Kingdom. Christ’s resurrection declares that death won’t win and suffer...

But one of the most difficult things for unbelievers to grapple with is the account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ found in the Gospels. Claiming a man came back to life after a torturous death a...

Holiness is a hard concept for humanity to grasp because “holy” is defined as “set apartness,” “sacredness,” and “separateness.” We cannot appreciate holiness apart from God making Himself known to us...

Satan is the great adversary of the church. He is clearly opposed to the will of God being accomplished in the earth. For the record, the way God chooses to accomplish his will in the earth is through...

Leading with hospitality is vital for church unity. Our reputation as a hospitable church is not for ourselves; it serves to make much of the Lord Jesus, and we pray it welcomes many into the kingdom....

As believers, it does not matter who we are, what we do for a living, or how long we have been a Christian; none of us are immune to the enemy's vicious attacks in our lives or marriages. Satan is on ...

Right before the pinnacle of Jesus’ ministry here on earth (Maundy Thursday), He decided to take the place of a servant and wash His disciples’ feet. It is the picture of a teacher serving the student...

Some pastors lead a church, teaching and preaching before a body of Christian believers. Others have more specialized roles, focusing on congregational care, youth ministry, men’s or women’s ministry,...

Many of us have received letters from mentors, parents, or others we respect issuing words of praise and offering special advice on how we can live well. Often, we treasure these letters, tucking th...

Why is there so much admiration for someone who only appears once in Scripture? Part of the reason can actually be found in the reaction of those that knew her, as they saw her illness and death. The ...
