Stand Firm

June 6th, 2022

Boys today are under assault from the enemy in ways that we never imagined.

Leave a Legacy

May 9th, 2022

One of my favorite leaders to follow today is author/consultant/coach Sam Chand. In one of his leadership videos he made this statement, “Inheritance is WHAT you leave behind. Legacy is WHO you leave behind.” That statement has stuck with me and I think about it often. It has definite discipleship implications because discipleship is generational....

Holy Discontent

April 18th, 2022 Rebecca Shirey

There exists no such thing as a typical Christian life. Each life of faith tells a unique and profound story of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Our Generous God

April 17th, 2022

In the winter prior to Jesus’ crucifixion, at the time of what we today call Hanukkah, He said, “I have come that they may life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b).

Jesus Calls and Gifts All Generations

Jesus died on Friday afternoon and was hurriedly buried before Sabbath began at sunset that evening.

What occurred while...

The Foundation of True Justice

Set Apart for God's Glory

April 13th, 2022

John 17 is Jesus’ High Priestly prayer, offered just before He led the disciples over the Brook Kidron to the Garden of Gethsemane (John 18:1).

Can We "Neighbor" Better?

February 9th, 2022 James Cain

“Please won’t you be my neighbor?” I remember Mr. Rogers’ kind voice and earnest smile as he sang those words on each episode of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Diapers, Bikers, and Churches

September 11th, 2019

Diapers, bikers, and churches. What do these three have in common? Not much, some would say, but according to Mission M:25 Director Gary Burd one thing ties them together… a love for teen mothers and their babies. In 2015, Mission M:25, a ministry to the overlooked, lost, and hurting in today’s society, began the 50CC...
