One of the great things about walking with God is the opportunity and power available to us after we fail or act foolishly. We’ll watch Abraham’s descent into terrible folly and his ascent back to his roots.

God called Abraham to leave without telling him where he was going is, personally, that would be a problem for me. No map. No itinerary. No destination. Just: go. I’ll show you when you get there. This message is the first in a series on the life of Abraham — the man the New Testament…

Priscilla is what faithfulness looks like when nobody is watching. She didn’t build a platform. She built a life. And her life became the ministry. This message closes out our series “Women of the Bible” and it’s for anyone who has been wondering whether the ordinary season they’re in counts for anything. It does.

God’s strategic ways to redeem fallen humanity from Satan’s rule is patently unintuitive to us. The cross??? The church??? You mean to tell me these are the central components to saving a rebellious human race? How?

Most of us don’t struggle with laziness. We are busy, productive, optimized and somewhere in all of that activity, the most important relationship we have quietly grows thin. We keep doing things for God while spending less and less time with him. And we don’t notice the switch has happened until something breaks. That’s Martha’s…

We are good about protecting ourselves from a “no” that we don’t want to hear. The Canaanite women begged Jesus for help, and didn’t just settle for His first answer. She stayed engaged until her faith won his favor.
