We Are: Bridge Builders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
God does not wait passively for people to find their way back to Him. He pursues relentlessly, like a shepherd leaving ninety-nine sheep to find one, a woman sweeping through dirt to recover a lost coin, and a father running down the road to embrace a returning son. The parables of Luke 15 reveal a God who celebrates every single person who comes home. The Good Samaritan shows us what that same love looks like in action: costly, inconvenient, and given without guarantee of thanks. Building bridg
We Are: Disciple Makers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something is always shaping you, and the real question is whether it is drawing you closer to Christ or pulling you further away. In Matthew 13, Jesus uses the Parable of the Sower to describe four different heart conditions: the hard heart that resists God's Word, the shallow heart that falls apart under pressure, the crowded heart that lets busyness push out what matters most, and the healthy heart that hears, understands, and bears fruit.

Read excerpt
Faith is not a private matter. It is something meant to be lived visibly so that the people around us, especially the next generation, begin to ask questions. Deuteronomy 6 makes clear that the question is not if children will ask about faith, but when. The best answer is not a theological argument but a personal testimony rooted in what God has done. Moses outlines a simple pattern: we were in bondage, God delivered us, He brought us somewhere, and He has kept His promises. Obedience to God flo
Guarding against comfort and forgetting God in prosperity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Comfort can be one of the greatest threats to our faith. In Deuteronomy 6, Moses warns the Israelites not about the giants or armies ahead, but about the blessing itself. When life is full and stable, it becomes easy to forget the One who provided it all. Prosperity does not make people reject God outright. It simply makes Him feel unnecessary. Just as astronauts lose muscle mass without the resistance of gravity, our spiritual lives can quietly atrophy when comfort replaces dependence. The real
