OPPOSED OR PERSECUTED | Aaron Holbrough

It's one thing to say you are being persecuted because of Christianity, but it is a completely different thing to say you are being persecuted because of Jesus.  One enables you to flourish, the other has you criticizing coffee cups.

PEACE WITHOUT WALLS | Jan Hux

In our sadly divided world, peace has been reduced to the absence of conflict and is enforced with walls. But Jesus offers a better way!

A RENOVATION OF THE HEART | Jan Hux

Jesus announces the flourishing of those who are pure. But to get there we don't need to time travel back to an age of innocence - we need a renovation of the heart!

THE HOLY MATH OF MERCY | Aaron Holbrough

Mercy doesn't really add up....it multiplies-it's the Holy Math.

AN APPETITE TO FLOURISH | Aaron Holbrough

There are those who flourish not in the results of their efforts, but in their passion for it.  And the world is better for it.

MEEK is not WEAK | Jan Hux

Meekness has gotten a bad rap in contemporary life (probably because it didn't stand up for itself!) Seeing how Jesus exemplified meekness can give us a fresh, new perspective on the flourishing life of the kingdom.

THE MISFIT | Jan Hux

Flourishing are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

BENT BUT NOT BROKEN | Aaron Holbrough

Flourishing are the poor in spirit because the universe of God is theirs.

AN INVITATION TO FLOURISH | Aaron Holbrough

If it feels as if you’re muddling through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield, you're not alone, and aside from not having a windshield, this might be part of our common humanity-And Jesus has something to tell us.

A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY | Jan Hux

Often cases of mistaken identity in our lives give rise to amusing anecdotes. But when we make mistakes about the identity of God, the consequences can be far more serious

A PSALM REFRESH | Jan Hux

Taking a fresh look at an old favourite can help us see how we have grown... or how we need to grow.

endTITLED | Aaron Holbrough

The word 'Christian' is not a title for a better life, it is a description of how to live a better life.  
 
 

A TALE OF TWO PSALMS | Jan Hux

Whether you're in a poolside hammock in a green glade or find yourself on the doorstep of death, David has a psalm for that!

CENTRE of your UNIVERSE | Aaron Holbrough

"The Word of God is infallible, inerrant, and totally inspired. And when He was about 18, He grew a beard."
~Brad Jersak

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME? | Jan Hux

When Jesus meets a man who is trying to figure out what the gains and losses are in the life of Gods' kingdom, he finds that the business deal is not going to be as profitable as he might have wished.

ROBBED BLIND | Aaron Holbrough

The teachings of Jesus can rob us of bad ideas.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CLIMB A TREE | Jan Hux

Jesus has been an enduring focus of interest to seekers over the centuries. So it's unfortunate when people have trouble seeing him.

CHANGEable | Aaron Holbrough

Have we ever been at a place in history where the motivation to change has been more tangible?  Truthfully, if moments like this don't bring about radical transformation we need then what will?
