Humanity’s sin problem began with Adam, and we’ve been in that fallen state ever since. While it might seem unfair that we all inherit an unavoidable sin nature, how much more amazing is the undeserved grace we receive through Jesus Christ - the...

God, in an incredible act of love, sent His Son to be the sacrifice for our sin even while humanity was still lost in that sin. The good news about salvation through Jesus Christ is that we don’t have to figure out how to earn it. In our moment of...

Life is full of milestones - fun ones like birthdays and graduations, and difficult ones like a bad breakup or someone passing away. Throughout history, God has used milestones in the lives of His people to remind them of His faithfulness. How can we...

Every single moment with our families - from a quick car ride to a tough report card to a beautiful sunset - is an opportunity to encourage each other toward seeing life from God’s perspective. We don’t need to wait for the ‘right moment’ to point our...

What does your calendar and schedule say about your priorities? When it comes to pointing our families toward Jesus, it’s essential to use our time intentionally and with a purpose. God’s Word encourages us toward wisdom so that our schedules reflect...

It’s hard to build something without instructions. God’s design for families is that they would be the primary place of discipleship for the next generation. So how do we follow God’s instructions and intentionally build our family relationships on...

When we think about the future, how do we make sure we’re following God’s direction for our lives? People often try to build their lives on things like success, career, money, recreation, fame, or even just comfort and ease. But the Bible is going to...

People try to find hope in many ways - through people, experiences, achievements, substances - the list goes on. But the hope we have in Christ is different. It's a hope that actually grows out of the hard times we encounter as we trust in God...

As the world searches for peace, the truth of the gospel is that true peace - peace with God - only comes through the saving work of Jesus. There is no greater gift than Jesus Christ. Have you told someone about this gift of grace and shared the hope...

God always keeps His promises. All throughout the Bible we see example after example of God's faithfulness in fulfilling the promises He makes to people and nations. His greatest promise - the promise of a savior - was fulfilled in Jesus Christ...

How do we get to heaven? Some think it's by being 'good' enough, some think it's because of their family heritage, and others may think it's through performing some kind of ritual. But the truth of the gospel is that none of...

We don't have bragging rights when it comes to our salvation - instead, our goal should be to boast about the goodness of God and the grace we receive as a gift through His Son, Jesus Christ. And in response to that gift, our call is to glorify...

The brokenness of our world makes it clear: we need God. But as people who are separated from God by sin, how do we 'get right' with Him? The good news is that God Himself provided everything we need through the life, death and resurrection...

We'll never fully understand the gospel until we understand that we're sinners in need of a savior. We don't like to admit it, and we seek credit for the good things we do as if those things will get us closer to God. But the truth is...

The gospel message is good news, but many people have questions about it. Is God's character trustworthy? Is He really faithful in all things? The beauty of the gospel is in its ability to have satisfying answers to tough questions, even the...

We've all had times when we've done the "right" thing for the wrong reasons. A life transformed by Jesus isn't just about doing the right things. It's a transformation of the heart. If our heart isn't in the work...
