Ezra 10; Nehemiah 1, 1 Corinthians 15; Proverbs 7 Let’s return to the Gospel, shall we? We’ve been looking at the state of the church and repenting for the idolatrous state of our hearts, which is good, right, and necessary. But now it’s time to refocus on Jesus, who alone is our hope of glory. […]

Devotional Guest Post: Katherine Brey  Ezra 8-9; I Corinthians 14; Proverbs 6 Several years ago, I heard a worship song with two lines that struck me so profoundly that I cried instantly. Simple, yet direct and, for me, thought-provoking-  Break my heart for what breaks Yours Everything I am for your kingdom’s cause The song […]

Ezra 6-7; 1 Corinthians 13; Proverbs 5 Last night, I read another troubling and heartbreaking article about the exposures within the prayer movement. It’s beyond heartbreaking. I tossed and turned all night, like many of you, grieving and processing how we got here. This morning, as I scrolled through X, the stories and pain of […]

Ezra 4-5; 1 Corinthians 12; Proverbs 4 There will always be opposition to the Word of the Lord. After all, we are in a war. It is kingdom against kingdom, just as Jesus said. And so, if you find yourself in a wrestling match, do not lose hope. Do not despair. Fight! Fight to keep […]

Guest post by Juniah Ramirez Ezra 2-3; 1 Corinthians 11; Proverbs 3 These were some heavy chapters today.

Proverbs 2:1-5“My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and […]

We’ve been reading through the history of Israel and the long lineage of kings and rulers spanning hundreds of years. And for the most part, we see a dark history of apostasy and idolatry. Israel always turning away. Always forgetting the One who loves her best and most. It’s easy to judge and question a […]

2 Kings 21-22; 1 Corinthians 8; Psalm 150 How did we get here? How are we so off course? The church itself is lost. We can sing our songs and run our programs, but we need more than that: We must contend for the faith that was delivered to us (Jude 3). We must come […]

2 Kings 19-20; 1 Corinthians 7; Psalm 149 Over the last few weeks, reading through the Old Testament together, we have wrestled with our understanding of the true prophetic. Living in the New Covenant age of grace, we have all been given the Person of the Holy Spirit and have direct access to our Heavenly […]

Devotional Guest Post:  Debra Wynn  Feb 29:  2 Kings 17-18, 1 Corinthians 6, Psalm 148 Idolatry has consequences.   In a nutshell, 2 Kings 17-18 highlights the fall and exile of a nation — in this case Israel — because of sin and idolatry.  Unbelief is sin and trusting, fearing, worshiping any other thing or person […]
