"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" – John 1:14 If you’ve ever flipped an hourglass, you’ve seen what happens as all the grains of sand funnel into a single point. Everything narrows for a moment before expanding again. That image is a helpful way to think about the story of God’s revelation. Throughout the Old Testament, God revealed Himself in many ways. Through creation, covenants, p...  Read More

“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding” – Proverbs 3:13 Long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, or before His name was whispered in Nazareth, the wisdom of God was already at work in the world. Proverbs describes wisdom like a treasure, like a tree of life, like something that brings peace and delight to all who find it. But wisdom was never meant to stay abstrac...  Read More

“When many of his disciples heard it, they said, ‘This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?’” – John 6:60 Not long after Jesus fed more than five thousand people with just five loaves and two fish, the crowds followed Him across the sea, looking for more. They had seen a miracle with their own eyes. Their stomachs were full. Their curiosity was stirred. But Jesus didn’t give them another perfor...  Read More

That name, “I Am,” wasn’t just sacred; it was personal. And because Jesus claimed it, everything c...  Read More

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 When Jesus told His followers to let their light shine, He didn’t just mean any kind of light. The word He used for “good” in this verse was kalos, not just morally good, but beautiful, attractive, winsome. That word matters. Because how we shin...  Read More

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14 Some people see Jesus as just another spiritual leader. A wise teacher. A compassionate healer. Maybe even a revolutionary voice who challenged broken systems. But Scripture paints a much bigger picture. In John 1:14, we are told plainly that Je...  Read More

“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” – John 20:21 Most of us have no problem going when someone sends us. If your spouse sends you to grab milk, you go. If your boss sends you to a meeting, you show up. If your kids send you for a late-night snack run, you’re in the car before they finish the sentence. When people we care about or respect ask us to do something, we respond. But w...  Read More
