Join us for a special Christmas Day Steadfast broadcast beginning our journey for the 12 Days of Christmas. We will celebrate the gift of Christmas and all that follows from it.
When we see where God is actually headed with all of us, He equips us to run from “Fake Jesuses” and towards the true Jesus and His victory.
Rules, hypocrisy, conflict—those are the words people most often reach for when they describe the church, and if we’re honest, we’ve sometimes given them reason to. Galatians 5 doesn’t flinch from that indictment; it sets the works of the flesh against a vision of the church so different, so beautiful, that it could only come from one source.
In our sinful human nature we’re all hypocrites—quick to see the masks on everyone else, almost never on ourselves. Jesus meets that very tendency in Matthew 7:12 with a rule most people already know by heart: whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.
Jesus calls us to a path of healthy sharing of His Kingdom led by discernment and patience.
What happens when the rain comes in and it felt like we were following God’s call?
As the body, we’re called to show God’s mercy. Can the world see it?
Do you feel like your feelings and opinions are often dismissed in your relationships? If so, you’re not alone. Dismissiveness is a common way that the devil tries to ruin relationships. We discusses how to identify and deal with dismissiveness in your relationships. Even when the world dismisses us, God does not. The cross of Jesus is an emphatic statement that we matter, but importantly we matter to God.
Most of us know what it feels like to start strong in our faith and then quietly fizzle out from that initial strength — and the churches in Revelation 2–3 knew that feeling, too. As Jesus responds to them with a reward for the one who “conquers,” what does conquering look like for ordinary, fizzle-prone people like us?
In the fall, God seperated us from the tree of life after human beings ate the forbidden fruit. But what if doing so was actually life giving?
