In the days leading up to His crucifixion, Jesus shared a parable of what it will be like when He returns in glory on the Last Day. He likens that day to the arrival of a bridegroom and the joy of a wedding feast. And by His grace, here's how He keeps our faith burning brightly as we await His coming.

Remember the Alamo! Have you heard that famous phrase but wondered what it is about the Alamo that we’re supposed to remember? Here in 2 Timothy, Paul gives a similar encouragement. However, he’s very clear why. And it's a great passage to hear as you and I get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!
What's the difference between a complaint and a question? On the surface, they may sound the same. However, unlike a complaint which arises from contempt and dissatisfaction, a question seeks an answer. It’s a sincere and honest inquiry that seeks to better understand the situation. In worship, we're blessed to hear God's answer to those questions and to receive the assurance He provides.
Why bother? Nobody seems to notice or care. What’s the point? Have you reached that point where you’ve folded your arms and said to yourself, “Fine! Let somebody else do the work.” Trust me, you’re not alone. You can be sure the others feel the same way. And they may invite you to join in talking about the rest. But there’s someone else who has joined the conversation that you may not realize. Today's a great day to hear wha...
When it comes to end of the world, and the day of our Lord’s return, the signs of His coming are unmistakable. And they sound terrifying. Nevertheless, as you listen to our Savior, you’ll notice that instead of panic He encouraged the disciples to take note – and prepare. They're actually quite useful.
What is pure? It won’t be long before snow begins to fall. One of the great activities among children, and even adults, is to try and catch a snowflake on your tongue. After all, what could be purer than fresh, falling snow? You might be surprised by the answer. In Christ ... it's you!
Have you ever marveled over that faithful person who sits next to you at church? That's something for which you and I can really kick up our heels. In fact, as Paul goes on to say, “We ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord.” And here’s why.
That rumbling in your stomach? That’s actually pretty handy. So is that parched tongue. Hunger and thirst are actually useful. And so is our hunger and thirst for God's righteousness. They're the rumbling and groaning acknowledgement that apart from God’s righteousness you and I would perish. They lead us to look to God for rescue. And God doesn’t disappoint.
Imitators and imposters. An impersonator is usually someone who pretends to be some one to bring joy to others An imposter, on the other hand, is someone who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others. And there are plenty of both. When John says that we're children of God it's not a role we play. It's who we are!
Today you and I get to ask Paul about righteousness! And more precisely, "Where did you get that?" On the surface, this may not seem like a very difficult question, but as Paul points out, the answer isn’t always obvious.
Not a paper crown, or a crown of ashes, but a crown of righteousness awaits all who long for our Savior's appearing. Paul looked forward to it. And through faith, so can you and I!
When Paul describes Scripture it’s useful to recognize how remarkable it is to have God’s Word and what it enables us to discover. In the first place, it’s not like any other book that’s come before it or after. As He points out, it's "God-breathed." What does that mean?
Here in the Old Testament Book of Ruth we’ve been given a sepia-toned snapshot from the past. Chances are good you've kept some wonderful picture albums over the years of your loved ones. While some photos fade and disintegrate God ensured that this portrait was preserved for us in Scripture. The Book of Ruth hasn’t been lost in the dust of time and neither has Ruth herself. In fact, Jesus has given us a new way to look at those l...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
