The Long Road Home: Finding Hope in the Unexpected Places of Christmas

The Long Road Home: Finding Hope in the Unexpected Places of Christmas

The Christmas story is frequently reduced to a cozy historical narrative, but it is actually a staggering promise of a “forever home.” It is an invitation to move beyond temporary dwellings—those buildings we rent or own for a season—and find our place in a kingdom of belonging that transcends any physical location.

Christophany: Who Was the "Angel of the Lord" in the Burning Bush?

Christophany: Who Was the “Angel of the Lord” in the Burning Bush?

In the shimmering heat of the Midianite desert, Moses encountered a sight that defied the natural order: a bush that burned but was not consumed. Yet, the greater mystery lay not in the fire, but in the voice. The text of Exodus tells us that “the Angel of the Lord” appeared in the flame, yet this messenger immediately identified Himself as “the God of Abraham.” This presents a profound theological paradox. How can a being be sent by God and yet speak, act, and receive worship as God? For centuries, scholars have utilized the term Christophany—a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ—as the master key to unlock this ancient puzzle. It suggests that long before the Incarnation in Bethlehem, the second person of the Trinity was serving as the visible presence of the invisible Father.

5 Radical Shifts From Comfort to Compassion: How to Love Like Jesus

5 Radical Shifts From Comfort to Compassion: How to Love Like Jesus

We all love comfort. There’s a specific kind of “game changer” satisfaction in finally replacing a sixteen-year-old mattress with one that actually supports your soul. Or think about those modern reclining movie seats—the ones where you raise your feet, sink into the cushion, and have food brought directly to your side. In those moments, it feels like a slice of heaven. But here is the danger: Comfort can become a blindfold. Whether it’s physical ease, emotional safety, or financial security, our “sacred” comfort zones often blind us to the brokenness right outside our front door. To truly Love Like Jesus, we have to move from the safety of the recliner to the courage of kingdom-shaped compassion.

Spiritual Growth Is Not a Straight Line: 3 Powerful Truths on Trusting God’s Process

For many believers, the spiritual growth journey can feel like a performance review we are constantly failing. We feel a persistent pressure to achieve a perfect, straight-line progression toward holiness. When we inevitably stumble, a wave of discouragement washes over us, and we start to question if we’re making any real progress at all. This feeling of not measuring up is common, but it isn’t the truth of the gospel.

We live in a culture of constant striving. We chase promotions, curate our lives for social media, and search for a deeper sense of purpose, often feeling like we’re running on a treadmill that never stops without biblical life lessons. But what if the answers to our modern anxieties weren’t in a new productivity hack or a self-help bestseller, but in one of the oldest, most seemingly pessimistic books ever written?

None Like You: Experiencing God’s Glory in Exodus and Beyond

None Like You: Experiencing God’s Glory Through the Exodus

The “None Like You” sermon series illuminates the radiant splendor of God as revealed in Exodus chapters 13–15. Through the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt, we see a God who orchestrates history not only to save His people but to display His glory. The parting of the Red Sea becomes more than a historical event; it is a vivid demonstration of God’s perfect character, a call to worship, and a profound lesson in faith.
