Urgency and Rest — Joshua E4 Apr 12, 2022

Settling into the Promised Land, the people of Israel are faced with two realities: they can finally rest, and they still have work to do. Likewise, modern-day Christians have to deal with what it means to live in the "already/not yet." We can rest in Christ's finished work, but we must also be obedient in doing the good work he has laid out before us.

The God of the Garden with Andrew Peterson Mar 07, 2022

This week, we're joined by Andrew Peterson to discuss The God of the Garden and how we can experience the glory of God through his creation.

The garden metaphor runs deep in the Bible. God's first command for Adam and Eve was to "work and keep" the garden, and God himself has always been present, working and keeping what he loves. Sometimes pruning and sometimes planting, but always in a way that produces good fruit.

Entering the Promised Land — Joshua E2 Feb 28, 2022

After 40 years in the wilderness, the people of Israel finally enter the Promised Land. But, they have to cross the Jordan River to do so, all the while preparing to face the looming resistance of the Canaanite inhabitants.

In these first five chapters of Joshua, the people of God must look back to remember what God has done in order to faithfully face what is yet come.

Getting Back to the Garden — Joshua E1 Feb 21, 2022

As we begin our series through the book of Joshua, we look to the people of Israel as they prepare to enter the Promised Land and how this story parallels with our own of trying to get back to the Garden of Eden. We also examine how God's specific charge to Joshua to "be strong and very courageous" gives us a model for how to live in our already/not yet reality of being justified in Christ but still awaiting his return.

Practical Help for Building Spiritual Disciplines Feb 14, 2022

Too often when it comes to building spiritual disciplines our go-to methods include relying on sheer willpower and trying to shame ourselves into submission. And, again and again, the whole experiment ends in failure, leaving us feeling even worse about our spiritual life than when we started.

There's still hope. What if it's not us but our misguided methods that are actually the problem? What would it look like to build spiritual disciplines that are rooted in the grace and love of Christ? This week, we explore exactly that.

He is the cornerstone on which the Bible's whole story hinges. Through Christ, God is reconciling all things to himself.

The Seventh Commandment and Honoring Marriage Jul 27, 2021

Whereas the sixth commandment prohibiting murder is one that seems easily kept, the seventh may give us a bit more pause. Even if we haven't been outright adulterous in our relationship, many of us feel great shame because of our failures to remain pure.

Jesus doesn't hold back as he cuts straight to the heart of this commandment, exposing the root of lust that leads to a number of sins. But, he is gracious in his invitation out of shame and through his sacrifice as the spotless lamb who washes us clean.

When we cut to the heart of this commandment prohibiting murder, we find that perhaps we harbor more anger against others than we care to admit.
