Most of us have a complicated relationship with money. Some of us worry we’ll never have enough. Others spend their lives chasing after more. And somewhere in between, most of us simply try to make good decisions and live responsibly. But then Jesus enters the conversation—and He takes things deeper than just smart financial planning. In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus says something startling: “You cannot serve both God and money.” Depending on the translation, it reads “wealth” or “riches.” But the original word Jesus used was the Aramaic term mammon. This word does more than describe a bank account. It points to a loyalty, a trust, even a kind of worship. And that’s where the conversation really begins.  Read More

Weakness isn’t something we usually celebrate. In fact, most of us do everything we can to avoid it. We hide our insecurities, patch up our flaws, and aim to look strong—even when we’re crumbling inside. But what if weakness was a doorway to something deeper, something more powerful? That’s exactly what Paul seemed to believe. And it’s not just a throwaway line. He built his entire worldview around it.  Read More

The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a theological event—it’s an invitation. It calls us into a radically different way of seeing the world, one that challenges where we place our hope, our trust, and even our energy. It’s as if, in that moment, time split open and eternity seeped into the present, asking us the same question the angel asked the women at the tomb: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” (Luke 24:5)  Read More

What if the biggest challenge to faith isn't belief—but imagination? For the early Jewish believers, the idea that Gentiles could receive God's Spirit was unthinkable. They had a framework for a Messiah. They understood God’s presence among them. But the notion that Yahweh was for everyone? That was world-shattering.  Read More

Jesus often taught using parables—simple stories with deeper meaning. In Matthew’s Gospel, He shares three parables that challenge us to reflect on how we live: the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, the Parable of the Talents, and the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. Each one speaks to preparation, stewardship, and the way we love others. But these aren't just old stories—they can help us navigate life’s uncertainties today. Are we prepared for the unexpected? Are we making the most of what we've been given? Are we living out our faith in real, tangible ways? Let’s dive into these parables and see how they still shape our faith today.   Read More

We don’t like talking about sin. For some, naming sin is freeing—it helps us recognize and stop harmful behaviors. But for others, the idea of sin has been a heavy burden, making them feel like they could never measure up. Jesus talks about sin in different ways. Sometimes, it is anything that moves away from God's vision for the world. Other times, it's selfishness and selfish acts. Sin can also be like a sickness that spreads, affecting us and those around us. When Jesus says things like, “If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out,” it’s shocking. But He isn’t being literal—He’s showing how dangerous sin is. If something in your life is leading you into sin, you should take it seriously enough to remove it. That might mean deleting an app, changing how you handle money, or stepping away from a toxic relationship. Jesus isn't calling for self-harm; He’s calling for radical transformation.   Read More

When you look at the world, what do you see? Maybe you see pain, injustice, or the overwhelming presence of evil. Maybe you ask, Why does God let bad things happen? If you've ever struggled with these questions, you're not alone. Jesus' followers had the same concerns. They wanted to know why evil seemed to thrive while those faithful to God struggled. In one of His most powerful teachings, Jesus doesn’t give the answer they expected. Instead, He tells them where to put their focus.   Read More

We live in a world overflowing with words. Social media, news, opinions—everyone has something to say. But Jesus didn’t call us to just talk about Him. He called us to be His hands and feet in the world. This might sound radical. Maybe you grew up in a church where sharing the Gospel meant memorizing verses, preaching to strangers, or debating theology. Jesus shows us another way. He says, Give yourself. Do what I’ve been doing. Being an ambassador for Christ isn’t just about words—it’s about how you live, how you love, and how you show up in the world.   Read More

Many people struggle with distorted views of God, believing God only loves them when they’re good or that Jesus had to come to change God’s mind about humanity. This is far from the truth. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son (John 3:16). God’s love is constant, unchanging, and available to all—on our best and worst days. We are invited to receive and accept God's love.  Read More

Jesus’ most famous teaching, often called the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), was challenging and confusing. Early hearers would have wrestled with it, wondering what the teaching means and how to apply it. Jesus’ words remind us we are invited to live within a Heavenly Kingdom, here and now. But what is this Kingdom? How are we able to see and live into it?  Read More

Life often feels like a series of decisions, each branching into countless possibilities. You might wonder, does God predestine everything, or do we have the freedom to shape our lives? The truth is both profound and reassuring: God’s sovereignty embraces human agency, and His promise is to be with us in all of it.  Read More
