Life is such a rush, full of drama and trouble! Is there any hope in God? Oh Lord, teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart!
After the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus immediately goes into action. How does he live out his own teaching?

Why is our culture so obsessed with sports? Maybe our desire to play points to a desire for God?
Looking at the temptation of Jesus through the parable of the sower. Just as Satan tried to tempt Jesus to skirt his calling, he tries to tempt us too.
Jesus' family tree tells us what kind of person he is... but if we dig a little deeper something is afoot!

Isaiah 2: An amazing vision of the future where God's light pierces above the darkness. A vision we are called to participate in.
