Stop and Think: Trespassing With Good Intentions (February 22, 2026)

We've all tried to manage our relationship with God on our own terms—keeping up appearances, going through the motions, assuming good effort is good enough.

When All the Lights Go Out (December 28, 2025)

Once the Christmas packages are cleared away, the dark sections of life can become painfully visible again—and we may have no idea how to fix them. Revelation 22 meets that helplessness with a river of life, a tree for the healing of the nations, and a coming day when night will be no more.

Chasing the New and Shiny: When Evil Looks Right (December 1, 2024)

Sneaky Snakes: When Sin Looks Like Wet Concrete (March 2, 2025)

We think we have everything under control and know how to anticipate our weaknesses, yet sin still sneaks up looking attractive and attacks when least expected. In Genesis 3 a crafty serpent made the forbidden tree seem good for food, a delight to the eyes, and desirable for wisdom.

Dead to Sin, Alive to Mission (April 12, 2026)

A voyage to the moon can feel finished once splashdown comes and the pictures stop, yet those who flew it insist it is only the start. Romans 6 challenges us to see the same of Easter: we're not at the end of our old debt, but the beginning of our new life in Jesus.

Choose Your Own Adventure (June 15, 2026)
