Jesus teaches that in His upside-down kingdom, our worship practices should be motivated by pleasing God rather than impressing others. Examining charitable giving, prayer, and fasting in Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus challenges us to examine the heart attitudes behind these spiritual disciplines. When we perform religious acts to gain human recognition, we've already received our full reward. Instead, Jesus calls us to practice these...
Jesus offers a revolutionary approach to handling conflict in Matthew 5:38-42, challenging the misapplication of 'an eye for an eye' that had become a personal license for revenge. He teaches us to overcome evil with good rather than escalating conflicts through retaliation. This doesn't mean we should never resist evil or remain in abusive situations, but rather that we should break the cycle of vengeance in our per...
In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus addresses a distorted interpretation of God's law that allowed people to limit their love to those like themselves. The religious leaders had twisted Scripture by adding 'hate your enemy' to God's command to 'love your neighbor as yourself.' Jesus corrects this by pointing to God's character, who extends care to all people regardless of their response to Him.Jesus gives s...
Finding freedom begins with vulnerability - laying our brokenness before God and trusting others. When we hide our struggles, we perpetuate cycles of pain that affect everyone around us. True transformation starts with genuine repentance and surrender, allowing God to break and reshape us. Through vulnerability, we experience healing, discover authentic love, restore relationships, and find the peace we've been seeking. God me...
In a world where loopholes and half-truths have become commonplace, Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard. As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we discover what it means to be citizens of God's kingdom, particularly in how we speak.
Marriage represents a divine covenant designed to reflect Christ's relationship with the church, though human sinfulness has led to increased divorce rates. Jesus addressed this issue by clarifying that while Mosaic law allowed divorce certificates as a concession, God's original intent was for marriage to be permanent. Biblical grounds for divorce are limited to cases of sexual immorality and abandonment by an unbelievin...
Who is the angel of the LORD who appears several times in the Old Testament but disappears in the New Testament? Is he simply an angel of high ranking, or could he be the Son of God pre-incarnate? This episode seeks to answer this question!
Honoring mother figures in our lives requires putting God's love first and expressing that love through practical actions. This includes performing acts of service, speaking words of affirmation, giving quality time and attention, and teaching children to show respect. When we prioritize our relationship with God, we become better equipped to serve and honor the mothers in our lives through tangible expressions of love and gra...
As J.I. Packer highlighted, the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery, not a contradiction. Yet, as we seek understanding and try to help others grasp this attribute of God, we look for creative ways to do so. This episode explores a few well-known ways we have tried to explain the Holy Spirit in church life and why they fall short of doing so.
This week, we examine one of God's most mysterious attributes: His Triune nature. Dive in with me as we examine Scripture and do our best to come away with a better understanding of our God and how He has revealed Himself!

Lust and pornography present significant challenges in today's digital world, particularly affecting Christian communities. Jesus teaches that lustful intent equals adultery in the heart, emphasizing the importance of addressing not just actions but thoughts. The harmful effects of pornography include damaged relationships, objectification of people, and violation of God's design for sexuality. Victory over these struggle...
This week, we try to clarify an abstract attribute of God and unpack what it means for the woman who first heard it and us today!
Anger, like a small spark that ignites a wildfire, has the power to cause devastating damage in our lives and relationships. While not all anger is sinful, most stems from pride and selfishness rather than righteousness. Unresolved anger creates barriers in our relationship with God and hinders genuine worship. The path forward requires taking initiative in reconciliation, approaching others with humility, and extending the same gr...

Explore how Jesus fulfilled both the Mosaic law and prophetic writings, and discover the enduring relevance of Old Testament teachings. Learn about God's unchanging principles, the transition from Old to New Covenant, and why perfect law-keeping isn't enough for righteousness. Key topics include bibli...
Jesus faced widespread misunderstanding about His relationship with the Old Testament law during His ministry. While many accused Him of breaking the law, He actually fulfilled it perfectly. The confusion arose because religious leaders had elevated human traditions to the same level as Scripture. Jesus demonstrated the true intent of God's law while challenging man-made religious customs that had obscured its purpose. He kept...
Jesus provides two metaphors to help us understand who we are as His followers. Our identity teaches us how to influence our world for His Kingdom. But what does being salt and light tangibly look like for believers?
(Matthew 5:13-16)
This episode explores God's sovereignty and holiness as revealed to Isaiah, emphasizing the stark contrast between God's perfection and human sinfulness. Isaiah's vision leads to his confession of sin and subsequent cleansing by God, highlighting the necessity for divine grace. Ultimately, Isaiah responds affirmatively to God's call for service, underscoring a transformative encounter with the Holy One.
God's love transcends all boundaries and societal judgments, as demonstrated through Jesus' interactions with those deemed unworthy. The story of Levi, a tax collector whom Jesus called to discipleship, illustrates this unconditional love perfectly. We are challenged to examine our own tendencies to judge others and instead show the same grace we've received. By entering dark places while maintaining our light, build...
Has God told you to do something even when doing it didn't make much sense? Were you obedient even though it seemed senseless and not beneficial? Jeremiah found himself in a situation like this and was obedient. But what about God's person who helped him obey in bleak circumstances? See how God, being sovereign and omnipotent, helped the prophet be obedient and how they can do the same for us today.
Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent. What do these three words that we seldom hear and less often use mean about our God? How can these attributes of our God provide comfort, peace, encouragement, and hope during crises?
