Through Jesus Christ, we’re “released” from the law into a new relationship with Him marked by grace. So does that mean we don’t have to follow the law? Was the law bad in the first place? And didn’t Jesus say, “If you love me, you’ll keep my...

When our faith is in Jesus, we’re set free from the burden of trying to earn our way onto God’s good side through following the law God gave to Moses. Through Jesus Christ, we inherit His righteousness, we find forgiveness, and we receive the Holy...

Everyone serves someone or something. Apart from the salvation found in Jesus, we’re left trying to ‘be a good person’ on our own - but by who’s standard? And how much good is good enough? The truth is, if we’re not serving Jesus Christ, we’re simply...

Special Guest, Bill Paige, walks us through the story of John 4 as Jesus journeys into Samaria - a region and culture that was hostile to his own. But instead of conflict and division, Jesus shows us how taking a position of love and compassion can...

Every single moment with our families - from a quick car ride to a tough report card to a beautiful sunset - is an opportunity to encourage each other toward seeing life from God’s perspective. We don’t need to wait for the ‘right moment’ to point our...

What does your calendar and schedule say about your priorities? When it comes to pointing our families toward Jesus, it’s essential to use our time intentionally and with a purpose. God’s Word encourages us toward wisdom so that our schedules reflect...
