The call to revival is not a pursuit of novelty, glitter, falling down, or any other external thing. The call to revival is the call to come to the Man, Christ Jesus! We’re not after just a little spice in our meetings! We’re after Jesus. We’re after God Himself. So, as a community, I want […]
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. […]
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 […]
2 Kings 11-12; 1 Corinthians 3; Psalm 145 Well, I’ve been writing a lot lately. I’ve been processing a lot. And you know, that’s what we are supposed to do as we read through the Word.

Leviticus 20-21; Acts 1; Psalm 125 These days, most believers don’t read the Bible. Most Christians are completely illiterate in the Word.

January 8 Genesis 34-35; Matthew 7; Psalm 103 “Who is waiting on whom? Are you waiting on God, or is God waiting on you?” Years ago, I received a special invitation to attend a gathering featuring a wise, nearly 100-year-old man who would speak about Jesus. As we entered a small, intimate living room, about […]
Eternal life means to know and experience You as the only true God and to know and experience Jesus Christ as the Son whom You have sent. — John 17:3 Prayer isn’t a subgroup or some department of the church. Relating to God is the whole point. Experiencing God is the big picture. Eternal life […]
Throughout history, there have been regional outpourings of God that reshaped the landscape of time and space. Little forgotten places, where the Lord has poured out His Spirit in such a way that there was no denying His presence and sovereign choice. He chooses a place. A time. A people. And in a moment, everything […]
