Vessels of Mercy: A Study of Elijah and Elisha
Mercy. Abundant mercy. This is what we find on display in the lives of Elijah and Elisha. God used these prophets to speak difficult truths to ‘important’ people and bring healing to ‘insignificant’ others, reminding Israel of His covenant with the nation and His desire to be their only God.
Daniel: Living for God's Everlasting Kingdom
The book of Daniel shows us what living for God’s eternal kingdom looks like. Daniel reminds us that there is a God who remains enthroned in Heaven, who will never be unseated by the powers of this world, and who is able to keep those who trust in Him no matter their current circumstances.
Deuteronomy: Written for Our Admonition
Mercy. Faithfulness. Abundant gifts. Deuteronomy captures the history of God’s constant faithfulness and declares His love and blessings for those who obediently follow Him.
Joseph: God's Power and Presence on Display
We all love rags to riches stories - because they happened to someone else. Joseph was betrayed, sold into slavery, served ungodly men, falsely accused and imprisoned, and yet with every difficulty we discover that God was with him and that made all the difference.
Colossians: His Fullness, Our Fulfillment
The first Christians in Colosse needed pastoral guidance to battle the falsehoods, by understanding the fullness of Christ and how He affected their everyday lives. So, Paul sat down to give them a picture of Christ - filled with reasons to worship and be in awe.
2 Peter: A Light That Shines in a Dark Place
In his second epistle, Peter writes to encourage believers to be mindful of the Word and allow it to shine into their lives.

As you dig into these last words of Peter, may you find encouragement to continue bringing His Word into every area of your life.
Romans 8: A Study of Grace and Growth
Romans 8 transforms how we view everything that comes at us in life. The goal of this study is transformation and from week 1, you are challenged to begin actively working on one area that the Holy Spirit has been already gently convicting you about. This transformation is undergirded with the bedrock truth of how God sees His children, what His Spirit can accomplish in a willing vessel and the glorious hope of eternity.
James: Roots and their Fruits
Practical, everyday Christianity. The book of James shows us how the roots of the gospel should bear fruit demonstrating our salvation. Written to early Jewish Christians living in difficult times, James addresses issues like partiality, relationships, mercy and judgment, speech patterns, and wisdom. In other words, this book is filled with exactly the kind of instruction and example we need as we seek to grow and bear fruit for the Lord today!
God's Upside Down Kingdom
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.
Such an easy line to say and yet profoundly difficult to pray. Often our definition of success and failure, worthy pursuits vs vain glory get muddled as we live this Christian life in a dark world. The Sermon on the Mount contrasts the Kingdom that Jesus established and the kingdoms of this world.

Love and Truth: A Bible Study in 1,2,3 John
Christians are called to both love and truth. But, love without truth becomes squishy and indulgent, and truth without love becomes sharp and cutting. On their own, each is dangerous. Bind them together though and you find the unchanging character of God: perfect love mixed with absolute truth.
