Get to Work
Trevor Nashleanas
Life in the 21st century comes with a lot of noise. With so many distractions it can be easy to find ourselves caught up in idle activity. Sometimes we all need a little reminder to get back to the meaningful work God has called us to.
Stand Firm
Trevor Nashleanas
In a world that is increasingly post-Christian, God’s people will face both uncertainty and opposition as we seek to live out God’s mission together. These times require us to stand firm in our faith, no matter what comes our way. Thankfully, God has given believers everything we need to stand firm in Jesus Christ.
A Strong Delusion
Trevor Nashleanas
Our world is quickly becoming a place of controversy and confusion. Uncertainty surrounding the times can really leave a person feeling delusional. Christ’s return offers hope in a world that seems to be sinking fast.

We’ve all had days on our calendars that leave us with a feeling of suspense. At times the suspense is good, like birthday parties or graduation day.

Life comes with a wide variety of uncertainties, one of which is death. Through his resurrection, Jesus has overcome death for all who believe. Believers have hope in the gospel because death does not have the final word, Jesus does.
Pursuing Holiness
Evan Ross
Jesus didn’t just save us from something, he saved us to something. We are not only delivered from the penalty of sin through Christ’s death and resurrection, we are also being delivered from the power of sin through the inner ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. For that reason, holiness should be the pursuit of […]
Encouragement in the Gospel
David Schultz
Church life can be hard. Following Jesus and living out his mission is no small task. It’s easy to get discouraged. That’s why it’s important that churches encourage one another in the gospel, just as Paul encourages the church he planted in Thessalonica.
Receiving the Word of God
Mike Sandusky
The gospel is not an easy message to receive. It confronts the worst of who we are and it calls us to change. At the same time, the gospel, when received, is powerfully at work in us. It shows us the best of who God as and gives those who believe new life in Christ.
