In Psalm 40 we hear of the psalmist delighting to do the will of God. Needless to say, there's always a lot of talk about the will of God for one's life. In this teaching we wrestle with the truth of God's will simply being our daily surrender and choice of delighting to keep open, soft, and receptive hearts whatever the path before us. This is what it means to be alive to God.  What new discovery is God inviting me ...

We begin our exploration of Peter’s second letter, where he invites followers of Jesus to share in God’s divine nature. This participation comes through the precious faith granted to them by the righteousness of Jesus, and it culminates in mutual affection and self-giving love for others. By practicing this way of life—one already present in God’s coming kingdom—believers will discover a rich and joyful welcome when it fully arrive...

Prayer is a common idea both inside and out of religious environments. Most people have thoughts on prayer, some experience with prayer, and questions about what prayer really is. Rebecca invites us into her own journey as she shares the beauty and complexity with prayer. Why still pray when we face disillusionment and disappointment of unanswered prayer or denied requests? Prayer is so much more than a list we submit to God. It be...

As we conclude this series, we give voice to the prophet Amos. God's people find themselves entangled in the system of the Satan, and God's justice will not remain silent. Yet, divine justice is always bound to divine mercy. A new day is coming—a day marked by hope, justice, and righteousness. In the meantime, followers of Jesus are invited to learn from this vision and actively participate in God’s new creation now. Scri...

Jesus was led into the wilderness for a time of testing. What was in his heart? In that disorienting and chaotic space, faced with the presence of the satan, our faithful brother in humanity shows us a beautiful way forward. As Jesus faithfully fulfills the calling of God’s people, we are invited to examine our own hearts in the face of testing. We rest in his faithfulness—and we move forward, following his example. Scripture: Matt...

At times, the influence of the Satan can be seen even in the life of a disciple. In this recording, we explore the complexity of human faith, the beauty of walking together—both communally and across generations with saints past and present—and the ongoing invitation to grow in awareness of how our lives are shaped by the system of the Satan. This system seeks to harass and enslave; it promises gain, yet demands our very lives in r...

The Satan operates through a system known as Babylon. This system appears in many places and takes on different forms throughout the ages. It disorients and draws people away from God's way of life. To live faithfully within Babylon means recognizing its patterns while resting in the assurance that one day, Jesus will bring this system to its final end. God's people are not called to destroy the system of the Satan, but t...

In Judeo-Christian scripture, The Satan appears in many forms: the serpent in Eden, the Leviathan in Job, the dragon in Revelation, the beasts rising from the sea in Daniel, and the devil of the New Testament. We're told that the Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. But how do we begin to grasp this profound mystery? And how should this understanding shape the way we live as followers of Christ?

Easter reminds us that the goodness which shaped the universe and continues to sustain all of creation will ultimately triumph. But what does it mean to bear witness to this goodness? What does it look like to align ourselves with its energy and rhythm? The lives of Tabitha (Dorcas) and Peter offer us glimpses—examples of what it means to live in harmony with this divine goodness. May their witness inspire us to do the same.
