Theme of the Day: He Lives to Take Me from Death to Life A dead Jesus would do no one any good. But a resurrected Jesus? That would change everything; that would make Easter the most important event that has ever happened. Today God wants us to know with certainty that Jesus lives. Because if […]

Theme of the Day: Hail the King Who Humbly Comes to Save Us Jesus is the King of kings, God and man in one person. He knows you intimately. More! He is willing to do absolutely anything necessary to serve and protect you. We see that this Holy Week. It begins with Jesus riding a […]

Theme of the Day: Against the Rock of Divine Exaltation, Human Rejection Is Crushed The author and poet George Eliot once wrote, “Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.” The Roman philosopher Cicero said much the same.

Theme of the Day: Against the Rock of Grace, Condemnation Is Crushed We know that unbelief will have consequences in the future—eternal separation from God. But unbelief also has consequences now.

Theme of the Day: Jesus Appears As The Son Of God In Glory Throughout his ministry Jesus said astounding things and did astounding things. Yet, he looked like a normal man. The prophet said, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him” (Isaiah […]

Theme of the Day: Live A Holy Life! The word “holy” comes from an Old English word, “halig” which means “whole” or “healthy.” We have a holy God. He wants us to live a holy life, one that is wholly dedicated to him, one that is spiritually and emotionally healthy for us. So, as Jesus […]

Theme of the Day: You Are…So Be! Imagine a beautiful guitar, carefully crafted out of the finest mahogany and steel strings. Now imagine that fine instrument is never played.
