The perfect Savior for imperfect people
No sort of stumbling block, no amount of sin, no kind of scandal, and no type of suffering can sidetrack God’s salvation purposes in the Savior.
Let Frustration Fuel Prayer
What do you do when problems, people, or pitfalls get under your skin? We should be led to pray. Frustrations fuel prayer and prayer diffuses frustrations. Our most bitter moments in life can lead to some of our sweetest moments in prayer.

10 Quotes from “Prayer” by John Onwuchekwa
I felt I needed more insight into how prayer shapes the church. Prayer delivered great insight and engaging personal stories that made the material encouraging yet practical.
Faith When You Feel Forgotten
Jesus takes the total abandonment of God in a way that is beyond human comprehension so that we can experience a love that is beyond human comprehension.
The Power of Community in Decision Making
We have to revisit the way that we go about hearing from God. One of the great blessings God provides in this life is community, but in my experience, I’ve seen that it’s been one of the most neglected of all of God’s gifts when it comes to decision making.
Know Thy God
In our life, there will be suffering. There will be injustice. There will be pain. Our life is fundamentally seasonal at its core. There are times when the sun is shining in our world, and there are times when it’s so foggy, cold and nasty that we believe that’s indicative of who God is. But how does Habakkuk change? How does he go from staring suffering in the face to having a song on his lips? He knows his God.
Faith in a Good and Just God
If someone you knew was unjustly arrested, how would you feel? If someone you know was prosecuted for a crime that they didn’t commit, how would you respond? If a child in your family was secretly taken advantage of, what would you do? I can answer for you. You’d do something. You’d want justice.

He Is Worthy
Lord Jesus, we thank you that you purchased us with your blood. Help us to be those who remember that because you are the lamb who was slain for all of our wrongs that you deserve all of our worship. In Christ’s name. Amen.
