Explaining Jesus: A Study Based on New Album by Jordan Searcy-Day 2
Today, read through the passage and see how Jesus joyfully pursues those who deserve his love the least. Song Lyrics to Ponder: … if you’ve heard a knock at your front door, but all that you found on the porchis a pastor that just wanted to be right … … if you really want to pray to Jesus, but you’re never sure he’s listeningcause who could forgive what you did last night … I’m so sorry for what you’ve...
Honoring Christ In Our Preaching-Day 3
How to Learn, Not What To Think … The most important thing we can learn to do, is to preach the Truth to ourselves. In my 18 years of teaching, I’ve seen educator after educator, and preacher after preacher assume that their audience knows the Word because they teach it to them. In my experience, it’s exactly the opposite. People don’t know how to learn, from our methods, only what to think. We...
Honoring Christ In Our Preaching-Day 2
1 Peter 3:15 says, “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” What causes someone to ask you to tell them the truth?

Think about that … that the all-knowing God and most wise King of the universe stooped down to us to ask...
Honoring Christ In Human Rights-Day 8
Creatively Restoring Human Flourishing Music, art, innovation, and creativity have the ability to capture people’s attention. The ingenious works of our hands have the ability to speak loudly when our words might offend and fall useless; and to explore things in ways that are thought-provoking, convicting, and stirring to our affections. Bono of U2 understands this relationship between creativity, content, and cause. Take for example...
Honoring Christ In Human Rights-Day 7
Fasting and Feasting Pt. 2 Fasting is not a way to manipulate God or get what we want, but as we see in Scripture, fasting is FEASTING upon God. Fasting is a great act of service, not only to ourselves, but to those caught up in injustice. We must remember that our sin and out-of-control appetites cause every injustice. Today we are calling you to a fast. We are asking you to forgo something you “love” in order to love God and...
