Who Actually Obeyed? 2026 09 27 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 21:23–32, where the people who had arrived can't give Jesus a straight answer, and a son who said no changes his mind and goes. Saying yes to God comes easily. The harder thing is letting what God is doing in unexpected people come to matter to us, enough that we're willing to be changed by them. For a church tempted to think it's almost there, Jesus' question is still open: What do you think? Scripture references: Exodus 17:1–7; Psalm 78:1–4, 12–16; an

Read excerpt
This week, Pastor Will reflects on the vineyard workers of Matthew 20, where the offense was never too little pay — it was watching someone else be made equal. What if the whole day was grace, and we've been too busy doing math to notice our hand is already full? Scripture References: Exodus 16:2-15, Psalm 105:1-6, 37-45, and Matthew 20:1-16 “THIS IS AMAZING GRACE” -- CCLI Song # 6333821 | Jeremy Riddle | Josh Farro | Phil Wickham | © 2012 Phil Wickham Music (Admin. by BMG Rights Management [c/o
How Many Times? 2026 09 13 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Pastor Will reflects on Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18. When Peter asks how many times he has to forgive, Jesus answers with a number too big to keep on a ledger — and tells a story about a debt too large to ever repay. What if forgiveness was never a limit to reach or a receipt to file away, but a mercy still being poured out on us, slowly remaking us into people who can finally hand it on? Scripture references: Exodus 14:19-22, 26-31; Psalm 114; and Matthew
When the Church Disagrees 2026 09 06 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 18:15–20 — a passage that reads like a rulebook for handling difficult people, until one word, brother , changes everything. When someone drifts, the circle doesn't close; it widens. What might it mean to hold the keys we've been handed not to lock anyone out, but to bring somebody home?

Take Up Your Cross 2026 08 30 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 16, where Peter — who just got it right — hears Jesus name the cross ahead and answers with the hardest word the language has: never . But Peter's "never" isn't rebellion; it's a theology, a picture of God he loves too much to let change. What might it look like to bring your own never with you, and still fall in behind the One who goes first? Scripture references: Exodus 3:1-6, 13-15; Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26,45b; Matthew 16:21-28 “CHRIST IS ENOUGH” -- CCL
