The grace of God is not an equation to solve. It is a mystery to behold.

When we see the weight of God in Jesus, we worship in the face of misunderstanding and opposition and look to him in his death and resurrection in order to share his glory.

The death-defying love of Jesus is a present and eternal reality for His friends.

The good shepherd is one with the Father, trusting in His unbreakable word and doing His eternal work.

Jesus is the only meaningful answer to Sin, Pain, and Suffering; because He is the only one who has the power to give true sight.

What we say about who Jesus is will determine our relationship to the church and to the world.

God demonstrated His zeal for His people by granting them hope through the path, the people, the plan, and the person of Jesus!

The truth of the person and work of Jesus is the only freedom from our enslavement to rebellion against the God who made us and the consequences of that rebellion: eternal separation from God.

Jesus is our light, because He has reoriented our standing before God on the basis of His Grace by being lifted up to die in our place.

To be a believer in Jesus is to experience the actual, indwelling presence of the Spirit of God by experiencing Jesus as the all-satisfying remedy to the thirst of our souls.

Dissecting the anatomy of this praise song leads us to recognize God as our only means of salvation and to respond thankfully for his saving work. It also leads us to see how God offers us the fullness of joy in Him, and praising Him is the completion of that Joy.

As we dissect the anatomy of a praise song, we see how praise can be a response to a command - one that all peoples will one day participate in, and how praise includes standing in awe of a powerful God who is in control and loves His people.

Believing the Gospel is believing you're accepted in full by the God of the universe and now belong to an eternal family from whom you will never leave.

Obedience and love for the church are practical evidences of our blood-bought position before God.

God loves you; there's no person who can discredit you. God loves you; there's no problem that can defeat you. God loves you; there's no past that can discourage you. God loves you; there's no power can destroy you.

The old way of being was defined by natural birth. The new way of being in the New Kingdom, the New Creation, is by supernatural birth.

Jesus exposes the difference between a Worshiper and a Consumer.

Just as Jesus transformed a wedding by turning water into wine, He took the old system and washing with water and made a new one in his body and blood.

Jesus is who you have been looking for. Jesus calls us to be His disciples, and as we follow Him, we bring others to Jesus.

John was sent by God to expose sin and point to Jesus. So are we. We are sent by God to expose sin for what it is and point to Jesus for who He is: Our means of new birth as sons and daughters of God.

There is a logos, a reason, an existential purpose. It is not a philosophy. It is a person named Jesus.

Expectant people of faith live as those under command and take ownership of the Gospel testimony to the people around them.

Work is the place where we can demonstrate a greater loyalty and higher calling and different identity. It is the cultivation that images God. The very first definition is the subduing of creation for love of God and love of others.

People of faith are prayerfully expectant, proclaiming and advancing the Gospel, obeying and receiving the Word, and unwavering in their trust in Christ.

Christians do not think about things they should do until they have first thought about what Christ has done. We stand firm in the finished work of Christ handed down from the Apostles and find deep comfort in Christ that overflows to all that we do and say.
