Who Has Authority?

“When we want God to hear our pleas for our flesh and blood enemies to be destroyed by divine action, it ought to make sense for us now that God is not likely to answer such pleas.”

Get Attention

“The issue isn’t about getting the king’s attention. Such attention is simple evidence that something is happening. Is there evidence of things happening among us, and who’s attention are we getting?”

In a Snapshot

“It was glorious.  In a snapshot, we all believed people’s lives were changed or being changed by the grace, mercy, truth & power of God that met them as they arose from the water with new life.  Alleluia.”

A Faith of Pursuit

“Sell all that religiosity (you can’t even give the stuff away) before considering the actions and determinations of people like the suffering woman and Jairus. Consider the actions of people like this first. What do they do that makes all the difference?”

God’s Great Big Things

“These stories stir in us a passion to draw near to God and trust his will to truly be best for all of us, and God’s will is most dramatically seen and given to us in the words and life of Jesus Christ.”

A Simple Relationship

“He may not answer all your questions and ease all your concerns. My question then is why? Why is the answer he gives and the condition he leaves us not sufficient for us? He just wants us to be in relationship with him.”

Found by Us

“The time we have together is meant to be a time of seeking the Lord together, only to find him together. The time we have together is meant to be time to be REVIVED, REFORMED, REFRESHED, RENEWED together.”

Now, A Beginning

“. The physical and the spiritual were part of the story of Jesus. THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL are part of OUR story and OUR witness and OUR testimony.”

You’re Loved

“When connected to the vine of Christ we grow in healthy ways and produce fruit that others feed from and grow strong because of the life of Christ in and through us.”
