The Advent of Grace
HOOK [Introduce yourself, get a Bible, turn to Titus, Pastor Joel is sick] In 2005, a small, neglected painting was put up for auction in New Orleans.

Adorned with Decadent Blasphemy
Revelation 17 introduces us to a woman clothed in fine garments, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls, seated atop a scarlet beast.

Beneath her... Read More →
Losing My Religion
Revelation 3:1-6 delivers a stark warning to the church in Sardis. Though they had a reputation for being alive, they were spiritually dead.

Christians have... Read More →
Supernatural Instincts
Our natural instincts often feel like second nature—habits of thought, emotion, and action that seem to spring from within us effortlessly.

The Root of Every Sin
“For all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world.” — 1 John 2:16 (NET) Every sin we commit can be traced back to three core desires: the lust of the flesh,... Read More →
Gather and Grow
Hebrews 10:24–25 says, “And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works, not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day drawing near” (NET). There’s a rhythm to life that... Read More →
A Life That Honors God
In Colossians 1:9-10, Paul writes, “For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects...
