  What do you want to be when you grow up?” was always the question. Adults would always ask it. As a kid, I would quietly wonder about it. When you’re young, there’s so much mystery surrounding your future. What will I do when I’m all grown up? Who will I become?   As followers … [Read More…] June 18, 2023

  The call to missions is not just to those abroad, it is also to our neighbors across the street. When Jesus commissions us to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19), it’s a commission for here and there, near and far. Jesus’ disciples are to go and be His “witnesses in Jerusalem … [Read More…] June 11, 2023

  God’s mission to bring salvation to all nations began in Genesis 3:15, when God promised to crush the serpent’s head through the coming Seed of Adam. The problem of sin applies to all of humanity; and the promise made to Adam applies to all of his descendants. This is the first proclamation of the … [Read More…] June 4, 2023

  Ephesians is really setting us up well for our Missions Week on June 4–11. We’ve been learning about the glories of our salvation (1:3–23) that not only brings us to life in reconciliation with God (2:1–10), but also brings us into God’s multi-ethnic family in reconciliation with one another (2:11–22). God’s purpose all along … [Read More…] May 28, 2023

  It took a while for grace to sink into my heart.   Growing up in church, I assumed that what God wanted most was for me to be good. So I tried really hard and got really good at being good. I figured if I was good enough, God would give me a good … [Read More…] May 7, 2023

  I’ve always resonated with the idea of a secret identity. Whether it’s the superhero incognito in plain sight, or the young lady who doesn’t know she’s royalty, or the young man who discovers his destiny, our stories are full of tales of secret identity.   In many ways, that’s exactly who we are as … [Read More…] April 30, 2023

  One of the things you begin to notice as you read your Bible over time is that God always acts in pursuit of His glory. Today’s passage in Ephesians 1:3–14 is no exception. Everything God has done in saving us is “to the praise of His glory.”   But it would be a mistake … [Read More…] April 23, 2023

  Spring has sprung in earnest this week. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The flowers are blooming. The leaves are popping. And everything feels just a little bit brighter. I love that Easter is at the hinge of the seasons, as everything comes back to life. It’s an annual reminder of the … [Read More…] April 16, 2023
