Integrity In Christian Leadership by Edgar Bazan

Edgar Bazan September 28, 2017

Leadership is a critical key to the success of an organization. John Maxwell explains, “Everything rises and falls on leadership…leadership determines the success of the organization.” If leadership is a key for an organization to thrive, Christian leadership is essential for the works of Christ being accomplished in the church and world. Thus, the essence of Christian leadership is its focus on what God is doing in

Principles Of Protestant Reformation by Davis Chappell

davis.chappell September 25, 2017

For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 provides the thesis of

Friends And Servants by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore September 18, 2017

In the book of John, beginning at chapter 13, there is an interesting shift in how Jesus deals with the people he calls “friend.” First, he does this radical thing where he gets down on his knees and washes their feet. He wants to serve them and model for them what humility in the context of friendship looks like. With

Noise Without Word by Justus Hunter

Justus Hunter September 16, 2017

Three Essential Approaches To Suffering by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner September 14, 2017

There’s an overwhelming amount of beauty and awe in the world – from midday eclipses to bounding monkeys in jungles to the perfect curl of newborn baby toes. At some point, though, we all encounter suffering. Sometimes it appears as physical pain; sometimes it’s in the form of prolonged waiting; sometimes it’s mental or emotional distress. Sometimes suffering occurs through our

Three Things You Need to Know About Refugees by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 4, 2016

We would do well to recall – especially in these days after Christmas – that the Gospels tell us about Jesus as a refugee child, whose family was forced to flee to Egypt to escape the wrath of a murderous monarch.

The Most Underrated New Year’s Prayer by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner January 2, 2016

It’s my (not unkindly meant) guess that tomorrow’s slew of sermons across North America and probably other parts of the world are, in the main, fairly predictable: having grown up as a pastor’s kid, a pastor’s grandkid, pastors’ niece, now pastor’s daughter-in-law, and having preached three years myself, along with having a great number of valued friends in ministry –

Can We Really Have Peace? by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard December 17, 2015

I’ve been thinking a lot about peace recently. We are in the midst of Advent, a season of hope, peace, love, and joy. It’s in this season when we proclaim the words of Isaiah 9:6-7: For a child has been born for us,a son given to us;authority rests upon his shoulders;and he is namedWonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of

Christmas Living: Prayer, Preaching, and Possibility by Otis McMillan

Zechariah’s Boy by Michael Smith

Michael Smith December 14, 2015

It is as if the angel Gabriel gives the message to Zechariah that his son is going to do the very thing that he (and his generation) were not doing.

My Muslim Problem by Omar Rikabi

Omar Al-Rikabi December 12, 2015

Christmas reminds us God is redeeming all our little human stories into his great divine story through Jesus Christ. This is the good news of the Gospel. The nature of Jesus’s incarnation—God becoming human to be in relationship with each of us—puts us face to face with real people with real stories. When we choose to distort, ignore, or not

Pregnant with Possibility by Kelcy Steele

Kelcy Steele December 10, 2015

And you are pregnant with possibilities, eyes hath not seen nor have ear heard what God is getting ready to do through you.

And you can trust God to bring it to pass – as long as you don’t settle for less than his best.

Darkness: Why Advent Breaks My Heart by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman December 9, 2015

That our Prince of Peace entered the world as a helpless child and left it as a crucified outcast tells me that God’s kingdom is one in which self-giving, vulnerable, love reigns supreme.

Why I Need Jesus: An Advent Reflection by Kevin Murriel

kevin.murriel December 7, 2015

As unpopular as it may seem the reality of Advent is that it doesn’t need to occur in the best of circumstances. In fact, Jesus was born in the midst of terrorism and heinous acts against human life.
