Son-Centered Revelation: How Our Triune God Communicates with Us (Jn 16.12-15)

God (in Jesus) communicates with us closely, compassionately, and consistently.

Walking in the Light of the Coming King (Isa 2.1-5)

Isaiah sets counter-cultural royal norms for the expected King. Jesus fulfills those expectations at his first and second comings.

The Light of God's Mission Dispels Our Discouragements (Isa 49.1-7)

We face discouragements in life and ministry, but God is accomplishing something larger than we can imagine.

Telling the Gospel Story with Philip (Acts 8)

Sometimes our fears about evangelism are unfounded. Philip's example helps us use story to share the Gospel.

What Can't Jesus Do? (Mark 6)

The people of Nazareth put Jesus in a box, thus rejecting him. Revelling in the boundless, humble love of God will keep us in a place of constant delight and joy, protected from our inclinations toward over-familiarity and contempt.

Christ the King

In Daniel 7, the son of man accepts an eternal kingdom on behalf of God's people. When we live in hope of that kingdom in Christ, we can suffer, speak out, and rest.

The God in the Cloud

In Luke 9, a glowing Jesus discusses his death with Moses and Elijah. But when Peter misspeaks, he is corrected by God from a frightening cloud. Why does God often appear to us like that?

How Jesus Prays for Us

Jesus prays that the Father's glorious abundance would make us a people of unity and love, in order to show the world who Jesus is.

What to Expect When You're Expecting … Jesus to Return

Christians often feel apprehension (if not outright fear) about Jesus' return. In Luke 12, we find that Jesus grounds our expectations in God's extravagant love, not in judgment or fear.
