We return to our First Love as we step into the light of God and allow him to expose all the areas of sin that so easily steal our joy. As we repent we turn from our ways- we experience His freedom and His joy. He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.Door Matthew Price

We return to our First Love as we discover our spiritual gifts and use them to love God and our neighbours. We have served God from a place of exhaustion, bitterness, legalism, pride, and fear. But we want to serve from a place of deep union with Christ. We want to enjoy loving God as we love others.…

We are living in the fog of secularism and it is so easy to believe that God is far away and irrelevant to the pressing needs of our life. But what if God was closer than we can even imagine? What if there are burning bushes everywhere on fire with the Presence of God? What if God could remove the veil from our eyes so that we can see that He has b…

Are you in a circle of friends who love you and love Jesus? Many of us who are not feeling loved by God are feeling that way because we are more and more cut off from the love of others. The truth is that our love for God is rekindled as we love one another.Door Matthew Price

Meek and gentle are the same Greek word in this passage, so when Jesus blesses the meek he blesses the gentle. He promises that the gentle win in the end. Rooted in Psalm 37, as well as the life of Moses, we explore what it means to be gentle. We see Jesus as the Gentle One who, at the cross, does not punish us in wrath but gently loves us with a s…

The Psalmist sees the wicked and self-serving having dramatic success in their lives and feels a sense of injustice. He asks the question, "Is God actually good?"

God has gifted us the Sabbath, one day each week without work, and yet it doesn't always feel like a gift. We might sense the weight of obligation, wonder at the relevance of an outdated idea, or simply fear it to be a killjoy, but Sabbath slows us down to the speed of the God who creates, delivers, and provides.…

Even when were walking on the road of addictions, anxiety, illness, hurts, self-hatred, guilt, and shame, that looks too strong, that looks impossible for us to turn around from that road, even when we feel like nothing can be changed in our lives, what still gives us hope is Jesus.Door Eric Shin

We all have moments where we feel as though a fog has settled in our minds and our hearts. Today we will take a look at 2 disciples who had this same feeling in their own lives, and the things they did to allow Jesus to walk with them through the fog, and bring them to a place of hope, joy, and passion.…

The simple fact of the matter is that for every person who encounters Christ dramatically with blinding lights and a booming voice, hundreds more meet him slowly and quietly, incognito on the Emmaus road, through friendship, Scripture, and conversation."-Pete GreigDoor Dan Warkentin

Does the resurrection of Jesus from the dead 2000 years ago really matter?" Believing in the resurrection is one thing, but do we know what it means?

There are situations or seasons where we feel hard-pressed. Where we know that life has not gone the way we have wanted it to. Where we wish for a different way for it to go. And in these times we truly wonder where to turn. Part of the beauty of the Bible is that it is brutally honest and vulnerable. As we get closer to Easter, we find that Jesus …

Jesus tells his followers that the temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed. He lovingly prepares them to face that horrific moment in history.

Ron Davis reminds us that every day we get a myriad of messages about money: from financial professionals to commercial advertisers to Facebook friends. But what does God have to say about money?

Jesus' question toward the blind beggar--"What do you want me to do for you?"--reflects the core message of the gospel. That is, the good news is about who God is--that He is the One who is delighted in working for us in His mercies and power. It, however, is easy for us to fall into the temptation of Religion that makes us work for God for whateve…

In this passage, Jesus turns our understanding of the world upside down. The people who get to Heaven are not the smartest, the most spiritual, or those who avoid doing really bad things. Rather, it is those of us who acknowledge our desperate need for Him. Jesus responds to our deep need with mercy, grace, and an invitation to the Kingdom of Heave…
