A United BlessingPsalm 133Jeremy Thiess I have the privilege of being a father to three beautiful children five years and younger, but you don’t have to have three kids to appreciate the fact that parenting is tough! Like when you’re running on fumes from being up all night with one child, only to be bestowed […]
Weep With Those Who WeepRomans 12: 15-18Meredith Freeman My tear ducts have historically had a mind of their own. This frustrates me to no end. Show me a sad movie or tell me my friend was moving away? Not a drop. My eyes wouldn’t betray the feelings I felt. (I even tried the “hold your […]
The Flexibility Of Symbols And The Great Power Of LoveHebrews 12: 2Tyler Fuller One of the vital but overlooked duties of graphic designers is to locate unintentional swastikas (and phalluses) in abstract patterns. The last thing you’d want your final approval on is a billboard with a colorful geometric pattern, only to realize that the […]
Too Small A ThingIsaiah 49: 1, 6Meredith Freeman It’s a curious thing how we will so often forgo God’s grand design for the tiny images we can picture. You may have seen the old illustration of Jesus and a small child, each holding a teddy bear. Jesus is holding a giant teddy bear – the […]
No One Gets A Clean TakePsalm 139: 23-24Tyler Fuller The Holy Scriptures are our revelation of the character of God, they include all that we need to know in order to meet the living God. They are inspired and true, and culminate in the life and ministry of Jesus, the Living Word. The scriptures are […]
Get LowPhilippians 2: 1 -11Meredith Freeman The apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians knowing the demographics of Philippi could produce significant conflict or incredible beauty. A Roman trade city with Hellenistic (Greek) influences and visitors from many different countries, the town housed many people groups and ways of life. Peasants, farmers, Roman citizens, […]
Just No ComparisonRomans 3:22-24Jeremy Thiess I love sports.I love playing sport. I love training for sport. And I especially love watching sport. 2020 is an Olympic year, well, it was before COVID-19 hit! Over the past Olympic Games one of my favorite things to do is look at the medal count at the end of […]
Brother’s KeeperGenesis 4: 1-12Tyler Fuller I have a huge family, and I love every one of my children dearly. They are all very clearly their own little personalities with their own passions and gifts. Raising kids is the great joy of my life. In our household we have three general rules:1. Stick Together (we are […]
Can Anything Good Come From There? Part TwoJohn 1:v45-46Meredith Freeman I love the line from Cory Asbury’s song, “The Father’s House” – “The story isn’t over if the story isn’t good.” In part one, we left off with Nathanael’s closed-minded view of Jesus. We took a long look at our hearts for places where we […]
Can Anything Good Come From There? Part OneJohn 1:v45-46Meredith Freeman “He was despised and rejected by mankind… Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.” – Isaiah 53:3 [selected] Jesus was familiar with prejudice. From beginning to the end of his earthly ministry, people pre-judged […]
How Right Do You Want To BeMARK 3: 1-6Melissa Love Mark 3 1 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on […]
Sell It All, Tear It All DownMatthew 19:16-26Tyler Fuller In my youth, I spent a lot of time at a holiness church where the preacher was a mix of ‘shouting down Hellfire and brimstone’ and ‘weeping over sin.’It was quite a ride. He had this bit he would do all the time, straight of the […]
Sins Of The Fathers, Part TwoJeremiah 32:17-18Carrie Burnett Okay, so the original audience of the Bible would have had no trouble understanding what it means for sin’s effects to linger for generations (long past the ‘personal responsibility statute of limitations’). But we all know that our God is not the source of guilt and shame, […]
Sins Of The Fathers, Part OneJeremiah 32:17-18Carrie Burnett This Bible verse is a fantastic way to start off a day…praising God, thanking God, recognizing God’s power…until it comes to an abrupt stop describing how God also punishes children for their parents’ sins. Other Bible verses talk about the curses of the father being visited upon […]
We’re All In This TogetherRomans 12:15Sharesse Warfel On May 25, 2020 the world sadly watched for nine minutes as George Floyd’s life slowly came to an end. I myself watched the horrific video three times as I just could not believe what I was seeing. It was one thing for us to hear the news […]
Principalities And Power StructuresEphesians 6:12Tyler Fuller Paul tells us that we need the armor of God to stand up to the invisible forces that we face everyday, the dark rulers, authorities, powers, and opposition in the heavenly realms. It’s some real Lord Of The Rings level stuff! If we’re going to face those things, Paul […]
No More PretendingColossians 3:1-17Meredith Freeman Have you ever watched little children play “pretend” or “make-believe?” It’s an incredible thing to watch a six-year-old climb a mountain or teach a math lesson to a full classroom from the comfort of their living room! The depth and sincerity of their adventure is incredible – no one can […]
Neither NorGalatians 3:28Carrie Burnett People like categories. Our brains require us to make sense of the world and we often do that by putting things in little boxes. Things with wheels go in THIS box. Things without tails go over next to the box of things with spots. It’s a normal, natural, human, necessary, response. […]
Constantly Refreshing EqualityLeviticus 25Tyler Fuller When God created everything it was all judged as very good – the land, the animals, you and I…God looked down and said ‘this is very good.’ God also set forth a pattern for rest in creation: The Sabbath. God didn’t just go on creating to infinity, there was a […]
Don’t Forget To RememberDeuteronomy 6:4-12, 20-24Meredith Freeman There’s a children’s song by Ellie Holcomb called Don’t Forget To Remember, but it’s honestly a sweet reminder at any age. Why don’t you put it on in the background while you read? I’ll wait for you! Until listening to this song, I hadn’t thought of remembering in […]
Race To The Finish Line2 Corinthians 5:16-21Jeremy Thiess Have you ever wondered what would be written on the headstone of your grave when you die? Thinking about death is uncomfortable for those of us who consider ourselves young, and healthy. There’s often WAY TOO MUCH happening in life to stop and think about death or […]
The Sin Of RacismRomans 5:12Melissa Love As Christians, one of the first things we have to accept in our faith is that we are born sinners, in need of a Savior. (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Psalm 51:5). None of us alive today, are directly responsible for Eve’s original sin but that doesn’t change the fact […]
The Hurricane, The Hurricane, And The Sixteenth RoundPsalm 105Tyler Fuller Bob Dylan and Denzel Washington both told the story of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, an innocent man who served 20 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Bob Dylan told the story in “The Hurricane,” a sprawling 9 minute song with a few too […]
Well, I’m Not A RacistJames 1: 19-21Sharesse Warfel Why do we try to avoid difficult conversations? Why are we so sensitive when people correct us? We all say we want to be better and grow, but when faced with some harsh truths about ourselves we are quick to jump on the defense. Do we really […]
