It was not typical, nor glamorous, or even widely believed. Yet, it was necessary. Jesus’ birth is a promise of redemption. Furthermore, a promise that only He could fulfill. He descended from heaven to save the very same people who would persecute and crucify Him. However, as he walked the earth and lived among His…

More than 2000 years ago, Jesus was born in the flesh. He descended from heaven and embodied His creation, a creation God the Father called good, yet they still sinned. He lived a perfect and uncorrupted life surrendered to the Father. Fully God but fully man, He was tempted but did not sin. He became…

We need a heart check. Our hearts reveal the true condition of our walk with God, uncovering our motives, intentions, and beliefs. This is not something we can properly do on our own (Jeremiah 17:9). We need the conviction and counseling of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16). Every day you should ask, Does God have…

Who is Jesus to you? Is He a figment of a cultural tradition that you were raised in? Or perhaps a man who once roamed the earth and was regarded as a prophet? Is He someone you sometimes pray to but doubt if you believe in? Is He only your savior or is Jesus your…

Confidence can be tricky. In a world where the “fake it til you make it” mentality is widely accepted and often encouraged, true confidence can seem impossible to achieve.

We don’t like to wait. Waiting is hard. Technology makes it harder. Our attention spans are shorter. We are in a rush and want immediate results, change, growth, and blessings. At times, waiting confidently on God can seem impossible.

I have reflected a lot about confidence over the last few years. Growing up, I think we are taught that confidence is this outward portrayal of strength, whether genuine or not. As someone who grew up shy and reserved, I always felt like I needed to muster up this bravado to show my confidence. Even…

The world is obsessed with love. If you turn on a movie, listen to a song, or open a book, I guarantee you will find a theme about love. We are constantly searching for love. And I think we should be obsessed with love. But not the kind of love that is often superficial and…

When we discuss the nature of God, we often tell of His omnipotence, presence, and His holiness. But we never talk about the sacrificial nature of God. It’s not a phrase we typically hear. We say that God is Spirit, righteous, and forgiving. But I truly believe that Jesus’s sacrifice perfectly reveals God’s nature. It…
