Deep Roots

The entire Old Testament is God calling humanity back to Himself, helping us remember who He is and who we are supposed to be, and giving us the ability to choose life instead of death - to choose wholeness, instead of brokenness. It all leads to the moment we find in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts - the climax of the story, the coming of our Rescuer - Jesus.

How often have we heard people say things – with a level of certainty – about what they think Jesus’ said, which He never said?

Society puts so much emphasis on social status and recognition, but as Christians we are called to live a more humble life.

What is joy vs happiness? And what practices can we add to our lives to give us joy?

Parables have the unique ability to transcend space and time. You see, in Jesus’ stories, you don’t just encounter characters, you are a character. You’re not just reading “a” story, it’s “your” story. A parable takes something abstract and makes it concrete.
