People are the focus of Jesus’ blessing. God is glorified in this! We are no more firmly situated in the center of God’s will than when our faith flows into direct service to God’s image-bearing people.

Mission: UNSTOPPABLE
“God’s good news puts us on the beautiful path of True life. As Moses raised the snake in the desert before the eyes of all Israel, acknowledging the reality of Jesus as the healing for humanity, the door is opened to True and healing reality. This is a reality covered in the blood of Jesus’ sacrifice, walking in the light He provides.”
AUTHORITY: The Author’s Story
“Jesus-followers are people of the Word. We are asked by Christ to follow Him. The Scripture is the only source for the complete understanding of Jesus Christ. The authority of Scripture is the authority of God through Christ as He was revealed fully among men.”
The Word
“While internalizing the Word of Scripture, we should prepare to act on its teaching and instruction. As the screenplay or script would have stage directions, Christ is inescapably specific in the Gospels in how we are to model our everyday lives after Him.”
“Fly One’s Flag”
“You must lay your head down at night. You must sit to read the paper. You must dine in a room! Pick one and make it your home.”
Life’s a Marathon
“A nameless faceless runner was obedient to his charge in seeking help for Athens among the neighboring Spartans. He gave his life over to carry this message. His singular purpose was to send word. It was an imperative message that demanded all his strength.”
Paths of Beauty
“There is renewed beauty in the act of spreading this good news of peace! The prophet Isaiah marveled at how beautiful it was to have heard the message of peace in God from a faithful hiker. Our words have the power to inspire others with beauty, beauty anchored in the truth of God!”
Sprouting from the Rock
“If God can use a stone-cold fisherman fresh off the boat, can’t He use you and me. An individual of willing faith, when in fellowship with other Jesus-followers, can strengthen the living breathing Kingdom of God.”
The Bittersweet Cup: Fine or Inferior?
All the joys of the covenant poured into a cup, a cup brimming over with sinless life-blood. Each time we sit in communion with other Jesus-followers around His table, we honor the bittersweet taste He swallowed on the Cross.
Pruned, Not Ruined
“God has the uncanny ability to take His creation and draw His truth out of it! If He can demonstrate His justice through a vineyard and a handful of grapes, think what lays in store for those who follow Him in obedience!”
