Gospel Alignment
Intro: Theme/Topic (What’s the problem, the question, etc.) A few weeks ago, our family loaded up the van and headed out for our annual vacation. And somewhere on the highway, we started hearing it. This subtle, low, rhythmic bumping. Thump… thump… thump. We couldn’t all feel it right away, but...

Hope Brighter Than The Sun
Intro: Theme/Topic (What’s the problem, the question, etc.) Have you ever asked someone this question: “Do you think you’ll go to heaven when you die?” It’s a simple question—but it reveals a lot. And more often than not, the answer sounds something like this: “I hope so.” Not certainty. Not...

Tearful Obedience

A Dying Man’s Charge
Intro: Theme/Topic (What’s the problem, the question, etc.) Some words carry more weight than others. Not every sentence is created equal.

A Better Way Forward

The Power That Prevails
Intro: Theme/Topic (What’s the problem, the question, etc.) Power. It’s what drives much of the world around us. The power to conquer, to create, to control. We chase it in different forms — success, wealth, influence, control over others, even mastery over ourselves. This hunger isn’t new....
