Satan wants there to be cliques, factions, and denominations, but God wants us to have unity (1 Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:1-6). Satan knows the strategy of divide and conquer. This problem occurs when members of the body of Christ do not follow Paul to follow the risen Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). God had some hidden wisdom and power in the cross that He kept secret from Satan and mankind until He saved Paul. Our ministry is not about us, but about what Christ accomplished by His death on the cross for our sins and resurrection. Our goal is to save the lost and share the ...

It's never too late for a new beginning. Look closely and you'll see that theme all through the Bible. Page after page, God delights in turning tragic endings into new beginnings. A childless woman conceives in her old age; a fearful, self-conscious shepherd becomes a leader of millions; and a prostitute becomes a wife and mother in the lineage of Christ. Every biblical fresh start reveals the amazing, awe-inspiring hope we have for our own new beginnings in God's plan for our lives.

Mysterious and challenging, this book is meant to be wrestled through as we discover that God is the answer to every longing of the soul.

The book of Galatians stands as one of the most powerful texts in the New Testament, filled with timeless truths and profound revelations about freedom, faith, and the unshakable grace of God. Written by the Apostle Paul, this letter served as a bold correction to early Christians who were drifting back into legalistic practices. It reminds believers, both then and now, that true spiritual life is not found in mere adherence to religious rules but in a dynamic, grace-filled relationship with Jesus Christ. In Rooted in Grace, we will journey through Paul’s inspired words to explore the ...

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.
