To the church in Ephesus, Jesus presents his authority and affection for his church. He then commends his church for their steadfast diligence and sound doctrine, but he rebukes them for spurning their devotion. Doing everything else right while neglecting the main thing leads to having nothing. As such, Jesus exhorts his church to remember, to repent, and to repeat their devotion. Lastly, Jesus reassures his church that they will ...

In leading the Israelites to the Promise Land, God calls upon His people to look back and to look forward. Likewise, in the face of new opportunities and challenges before us, instead of shrinking back in fear, we can move forward with confidence in our faithful God.

Through a new decree that was passed, the Jews are able to defend themselves and find victory against Haman's evil plot. They then inaugurate the Feast of Purim as a celebration and remembrance of God's deliverance. Although we do not celebrate Purim, we have a greater joy, a greater victory, a greater understanding of God's deliverance under the New Covenant in the act of communion. Therefore, we can live from a ...

God graciously invites people everywhere to repent and join His Kingdom. The gospel according to Esther i...

Esther finds herself in a dangerous predicament. Haman, one of the top officials in the Persian government, has persuaded King Xerxes to issue a royal edict to annihilate all the Jewish people in the empire. Mordecai implores Esther to present herself before the king to intercede on behalf of her people. But doing so would mean risking her own death. However Esther is able to take on this righteous risk through fasting. In the face...

The story of Esther takes place in the capital of the Persian Empire where many Jews lived under Persian rule. And Esther is an unique book of the Bible in that God is not explicitly mentioned anywhere. Yet all throughout, you see God's sovereign hands throughout the narrative that reinforces his commitment to faithfulness and redemption. So in the midst of a society under foreign pagan rule, God uses his people to bring ab...

As God has called Family Chapel to Los Angeles, we are not to merely be a church in the city, but we are to be a church for the city. If we are to faithfully and fruitfully minister to Los Angeles, then we need to rightly worship God, build up a compelling community, love our neighbors through ministries of evangelism and mercy, disciple Christians to live out their faith in their everyday lives, and seek a gospel movement in our c...

While the gospel is universally applicable in all contexts, if we want to faithfully and effectively communicate the gospel to Los Angeles, we need to contextualize the gospel for Los Angeles. Following the Apostle Paul's example in Athens, contextualizing the gospel requires correctly understanding your city's story, constructively challenging your city's story, and lovingly re-telling your city's story. Los An...

In a sense, the story of Scripture can be told through the story of cities. The Bible teaches that cities are a part of God’s original design for human flourishing (Eden), that cities can amplify sinful pride and idolatry (Babel), that God's people should actively seek the comprehensive renewal of the city (Babylon), that cities can be missional hubs in reaching the nations (Antioch), and that our true home is found in the hea...

In contrast to the other gospels, John presents an epilogue with a personal, intimate look into the gracious recommissioning of Peter and the disciples. This presents a unique facet of the commission that Christ gives to his followers as he restores and calls us to faithfully serve his Kingdom by continually beholding and abiding in him and tending and caring for one another.

In the aftermath of Jesus' crucifixion, the disciples are filled with doubt. But rather than being a hindrance to faith, when rightly approached, doubt can be an avenue for even greater faith. Jesus draws near to us in our doubts and invites us to trust him. And as those who believe, we should invite others to believe that Jesus is the risen Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing they will find true life in his name.

The hour has come as Jesus goes to the cross. The cross reveals that Jesus is the true King, Prophet, and Priest. Jesus is the true King who flexes his authority over everything. Jesus is the true Prophet who fulfills all the promises of Scripture. Jesus is the true Priest who reconciles his people with God and with one another. As such, we should submit to Jesus as the true King, believe in Jesus as the true Prophet, and rest in J...

After Jesus prays for his disciples, the narrative moves forward to his betrayal and arrest where we see our humble king. He is a king in full majesty and power whose Kingdom is not of this world. So as he stands before all the authorities, Pilate, the high priest, and those who would arrest him, he is in complete control. And at the same time, he is the humble king, who was obedient even unto death so that we may have life. Th...

In his final moments with his disciples before going to the cross, Jesus prays. Our prayers reveal our priorities. What does Jesus pray for? Jesus prays that the Father would be glorified, that his disciples would be sanctified, and that the church would be unified. May Jesus' priorities shape our prayers!

As Jesus spends his final moments with his disciples, he gives them the sobering warning that they will be hated by the world. But despite the persecution they will face, they can take heart because Jesus will be sending them the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be their "Helper" as He convicts the world towards repentance, guides disciples into a deeper understanding of the Gospel, and transforms sorrow into indestructi...

As the Vine, Jesus is vitally united to His people so that they get to enjoy His life in their lives. As branches, our role is to abide in Jesus. We can abide in Jesus as we regularly commune with Him through the Word and prayer, as we engage in loving and joyful obedience, and as we love others with Christ's love.

Jesus is the Way. As the Way, Jesus provides exclusive access to our true home with the Father. He opens up the avenue for sinful people to dwell with the holy God through his work on the cross. Since Jesus is the Way, we should know the Way, trust the Way, and walk the Way.

As his hour is now at hand, Jesus takes the posture of a servant and lovingly washes the feet of his disciples. In doing so, Christ gives us a powerful example of love for one another, the power to love one another, and the transforming testimony of love as a witness to the rest of the world.

As He concludes His public ministry, Jesus declares that the time has come for Him to be glorified. Some see Jesus as a threat to their personal glory. Others project their own expectations of glory onto Jesus. However, the way in which Jesus is glorified subverts all expectations. Jesus is glorified through His sacrificial death on the cross which secures the path for salvation. We share in the glory of Christ by rightly recognizi...

Jesus declares himself to be the resurrection and the life. Jesus weeps with those who weep in the passing of his beloved friend Lazarus. He sees and knows our grief and sorrows. He then raises Lazarus from the dead to display his full power and sovereignty even over death itself. Therefore, we can have complete comfort and trust in Him.
