• The Power We Have (encouragement)

  This week I am thinking about God’s uncommon faithfulness. He was faithful to Paul when he was heading to Rome. Paul’s relationship with God tells us much about God’s relationship with all of His people. God is faithful. He encourages. He works when we cannot see Him. He cannot be stopped! (See Acts 27-28) This…

• “Oops! I Did a Good Thing!”

  “Oops!” Haven’t we all said that? We say it when we do something poorly or accidentally. We say it when we wish that we could have done something different. It is an exclamation of our mess ups. Have you ever said “oops!” when you did a good thing? How often does that happen? Does it…

• At Calvary – Ep 26 – The Glory of Gospel Thinking

• At Calvary – Ep 24 – Fitly Spoken Words

  What does God mean by a word fitly spoken? He says that they are as valuable or as beautiful as apples of gold in a setting of silver. Do we value it? Do we show it by doing it? On Android you can find past episodes here: Of course, you can always find all of…

• Be An Example

  Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  Quite a statement!  It speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a man who was willing to let people see him for…

• Jesus is my Enough

  When was the last time you heard people sing with abandon about Jesus? I have two events every year when I am surrounded by people who are doing that. The first is my pastors’ conference in February. The second is camp. Being a part of a group like that reminds me of how precious our…

  Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  1 Corinthians 11:1 Quite a statement! It is just 11 words, but it speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a type of discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a…
