Biblical Manhood
There is a movement racing across our culture trying to erase gender. How do we live in this cultural moment of gender confusion? What does it mean to be a man? Masculinity is a gift. Men are not men because of what they have done but because “God said…and it was so.” Teenage boys need […]
Jesus Woman
Why do the values of Jesus not mix with the feminist ideology of the kingdom of this world? Feminism at its core is a worldly ideology that focuses on gaining equality between men and women in all domains of life, work, home, sexuality, and law. Feminism claims that women are not equal with men until […]
A Kingdom Vision for Marriage
Love, romance, and hope are all words that come to mind when you think about marriage. They are the foundation of marriage going all the way back to the first marriage in the garden.

Most people can better identify with him than the other disciples. John 20:24 shows that Thomas is an honest doubter. He was asking for proof so that he […]
Lessons for Palm Sunday
Jesus’ life defied many expectations; however, many of the things He did throughout His life and ministry had been predicted many years earlier by the Old Testament prophets. The two accounts found in Mark 10:46 and Mark 11:1-11 prove Jesus to be the Messiah Israel was expecting. The traditional route from Galilee to Jerusalem […]

In Luke chapter 21, we find Jesus sitting in the court of women, where thirteen horn shaped receptacles collected offerings. The scribes and pharisees would give big offerings from their surplus. Then Jesus saw a widow who gave a small offering that for the rest of the people seemed insignificant. The humble gift of […]
