Virtues for Church Life

Ephesians 3 and 4 both contain passages that talk about growing into the “fullness” of God. Ephesians 4:2,3 names elements that are important for that growth to happen — lowliness, gentleness, and longsuffering. When lowliness is missing, our service becomes contaminated, we treat people roughly, we don’t listen well, and we don’t respond to correction.... Read More

A Message for Fathers

Good leaders are focused on the welfare of the people they lead, take responsibility for their poor decisions, are under authority, speak truth with love, and lead but don’t push.

God considers how we relate to other people. Are we willing to apologize? When trust grows, relationships grow. When relationships are healthy, husbands love and wives respect; parents... Read More

The Impact & Meaning of the Resurrection

The impact of Christ’s death on those who experienced it was definitely profound.
