“Be merciful, as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36-42). Every day, you have dozens of chances to show mercy… or not. Every day is filled with opportunities to lash out and be impatient or to smile and forgive. When you have experienced the amazing grace of God in Christ, it does something to you. It makes your heart softer. Humbler. Confident. I hope you can listen to this sermon about God’s mercy and its impact on us and our relationships with others: “Be Merciful.” Jesus loves you!

When does life begin? There’s a lot of debate about that in our society today. Does the Bible actually say when a human being becomes a human being?

Yes, it does! Already 3,000 years ago, David recognized when God’s gift of life begins. He wrote: “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13).

I hope you can listen to this short video devotion about how God has cared for you from the moment you were conceived.

God bless you!

It’s wedding season. Our family’s summer plans have revolved around weddings that family members have invited us to. I bet many of you have received wedding invitations too. Do you realize that the Bible is really one big wedding invitation? The Bible’s whole message is an invitation to come to Jesus’ wedding banquet in heaven: “Blessed are those who are called to the wedding supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9). Jesus told a parable about God’s invitation to his banquet in heaven. Surprisingly, many people in Jesus’ story came up with excuses and missed out on the wedding. Could that describe you and me? May nothing keep us from attending Jesus’ wedding banquet in heaven! I hope you can listen to this sermon: “The Wedding Invitation.” Jesus loves you!
