There is much confusion around identity in modern culture. Human beings are created by God in His image. Our identity is embodied, meaning our physical bodies are integral to our identity. We are created with purpose and are morally accountable to God, not autonomous beings. Sin has marred our understanding of identity, but through Jesus…

There are things we cannot control, like our past, our genetics, other people’s actions and our external circumstances.  While we may not have control over the circumstances life throws at us, we always have the ability to choose our responses and attitudes. This week, we will see how important it is to refuse a victim…

God’s calls and commands can often feel murky and unclear, yet they are designed to strengthen our faith in ways we can’t anticipate. God’s call often comes without clarity, and we must trust and obey despite uncertainties. We need to make up our minds to follow God’s commands, even when we don’t fully understand the…

We all understand that if you keep doing what you’ve done, you keep getting what you got. So, if you want something new, you need to make up your mind to try something different. The New Year is a perfect time to do that. God would have us stop hobbling back and forth between two…

The cornerstone of Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus. This is the central tenet of the Christian faith, the one that serves as the foundation of hope and salvation.

Science does not negate faith because science and religion are based on different aspects of human experience and address different parts of human understanding.    Day 1       Psalm 19:1-4 Reflect: How…

Christians believe that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies because God’s plan for human salvation was fulfilled in Jesus. The New Testament, especially the Gospel of Matthew, documents this belief by correlating statements about Jesus with Old Testament prophecies.   Day 1        Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23 Reflect: Compare the prophecy of the virgin…

This week we will explore the historical and textual reliability of the Gospels. There are eyewitness accounts, historical and archeological findings to support what we read in the Bible. But what is most important in lending accuracy to the Bible is the history of redeemed and transformed lives.     Day 1       Luke…

Hearing and accepting God’s correction is vital to our spiritual growth. God’s discipline is different from flawed human correction; it is meant to confront our sins, lead us to repentance, and ultimately bring about healing and righteousness in our lives. God’s correction, while challenging, is designed to transform us and align us more closely with…
