Today’s Theme: Kingdom Workers are rescued. We start our journey today by revisiting what we learned yesterday: Kingdom Workers are loved. Love and rescue are linked together.

MOVE 2016 – Monday – LOVED
Today’s Theme: Kingdom Workers are loved. Kingdom Workers know they are loved by God. The work they do isn’t an effort to try and earn anything; it is in response to what they have already received.

Summer Bucket List
I've stumbled upon the habit of having a "summer bucket list" the past few years and a few weeks ago I started putting together my list for 2016. It's not a traditional bucket list in the sense that I actually expect to check off every single thing, but rather one that reminds me of all… Continue reading Summer Bucket List

Holy Week Tuesday: Giving Up Hypocrisy
Reading through the events of Tuesday of Holy Week it's easy for me to get annoyed and even judgmental of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and other religious leaders of the day. It's easy for me, on the outside looking in, to think, "They were clearly astonished and amazed by Him, why wouldn't they just believe?... How… Continue reading Holy Week Tuesday: Giving Up Hypocrisy
