Walking in the Light of His Return
1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 The Motion-Sensor Light Have you ever tried to walk through a room with a motion-sensor light that refuses to come on? You wave your arms, jump around, clap your hands, look like you’re leading a Zumba class—and the light just won’t turn on. But...
Sowing for Eternity
Galatians 6:1–10 When I was younger, my brother once convinced me to bury an old washer in the ground because, according to him, it would grow into a washing machine. I didn’t question it at first — I just believed that if I buried it, something amazing would come up....

The Spirit Filled Life
Romans 8:1–17 So what does it mean to live a Spirit filled life? A few years ago, a friend called me in a panic. His car wasn’t accelerating right—it felt sluggish, barely able to climb hills or merge onto the freeway. He said, “It feels like something is fighting...
Grace You Can Stand On
Romans 5:1–11 Let me tell you about one of the most ridiculous fights I’ve ever heard about. A married couple I know got into a full-blown argument. Voices were raised, feelings were hurt, and one of them may or may not have ended up sleeping on the couch that night....
Why the World Needs the Gospel
Romans 1:16–32 Romans is one of those books that never fails to stir something in my soul. Full disclosure — it’s one of my favorite books of the Bible. When I had the opportunity to preach from it, I jumped at the chance. There’s a reason 75% of pastors in a recent...

Who Has Your Heart?
1 Kings 11:1-13 Despite having the whole world at his feet, Solomon turned his heart from the Lord. God has also given the whole world to each and every one of us: in his son dying on the cross for our sin. Do we respond to that gift by giving our whole heart to Him...
