Surviving Babylon: Un-erasable
How are we supposed to live in a thoroughly pagan world? Where can we find hope? What is our mission? How can we live in such a way that we are unerasable? Join us as we begin a new series in the book of Daniel called Surviving Babylon where we will explore these topics together!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Resurrection Sunday)
As the sun arose on Sunday morning, the earth shook, the guards collapsed, the women were confused, the men hid in fear, but the tomb was most certainly empty! Join us as we explore the day that changed the world! Resurrection Sunday!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Holy Saturday)
As the sun went down on Friday, and Saturday morning dawned, the city went back to a state or normalcy. Kind of. In relation to Jesus, it may not seem like much could be reported. But as you will see, much was happening physically and spiritually on Holy Saturday. Join us as we explore it!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Good Friday)
From the dinner table to the garden tomb, Friday is the most unjust day in human history. It was final day of Jesus’ life. And it was the day known by millions as “Good”. Join us as we follow Jesus to the cross!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Thursday)
Some of Jesus’ final moments as a free man were spent in blistering rebuke of the Pharisee’s and the city of Jerusalem. As evening sets on Jesus’ last full day of freedom, the stage is set for His crucifixion. Join us today as we examine what Jesus was doing on His final Thursday!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Wednesday)
Jesus reenters the city of Jerusalem for a day of conflicts with the Jerusalem leadership. On Wednesday of Holy Week, He evades their pointed questions with skill and wisdom. Soon, He will allow them to descend upon Him and kill Him. The end is drawing near.
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Tuesday)
After cursing a fruitless tree, Jesus enters the fruitless city to cleanse the temple and to do the works of God. Sadly, the Jewish establishment sought a showdown with Jesus to challenge Him, which set the stage for the drama that would happen on Wednesday. Join us today as we examine, what happened on Jesus’ final Tuesday!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Monday)
As Jesus rides into the city in tears, the crowds for a moment celebrate Him. Pomp and circumstance filled the air, but sorrow filled the heart of Christ, knowing what would soon take place. Join us as we explore what Jesus did on Monday!
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Sunday)
Joy was in the air on Sunday as our Lord entertained throngs of people who were curious to meet Him. But looming over Sunday was the sharp turn that would happen on Monday! Join us today as we examine what Jesus was doing on Sunday, 5 days before He died.
The Final Days Of Jesus. (Saturday)
What did our Lord walk through on the Saturday before His death? What joy’s did He face? What sorrows did He anticipate? Join us as we examine the Saturday before Jesus died.
The Final Days Of Jesus.
What you are reading is my best attempt to compile an accurate chronology of Jesus life in His final week and it is my prayer that it is encouraging and stimulating to your soul. Please join us if you would like to follow along.
Name Change.
If we are “Christians”, then we bear the name of Christ. And if we bear the name of Christ, how could we adopt the behavior of cowards? How could we give into fear, discouragement, or defection if we have been named with Him?
Our Role In Calamity
We were made to engage the world. That is our purpose! And my prayer for all of us is that we will live out that purpose and take this current moment as a great opportunity to be the salt and light that God made us to be! Who knows?…
The Order Of Salvation
In this post, I want to explore what salvation is. How does God save us? What does that look like? And why should we have hope?
Discipleship Disentangled
In this post, I want to explore just that. I want us to untangle the web of discipleship and help Christians get involved in their God-designed purpose.
INFILTRATED
One of the saddest realities of living in a fallen world is that everything is broken. The world is broken. Our minds are broken. Our emotions, feelings, and behaviors are broken. Even the frozen coffee machine at Cumberland Farms is broken…
The Spirit of Cain
There are some expressions of worship that God accepts and there are some that He outright rejects. Knowing what God requires in Scripture will help us worship God in ways that He desires.
The Attitude Of The Preacher
The pastor's job is preach truth with boldness, preach truth with love and tenderness for his people, and to understand the Gospel so well that he can lead people to dive in and drown in the grace of God. That is what Biblical preaching is.
The Method Of A Preacher
A pastor's always ready to share the truth of God to God's people. But what method governs his actions? Is there a Biblical model for how he must preach? And, how will knowing this help us become better equipped to hear and learn from his sermons?
