In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus confronts popular religious messages that contradict His vision for human life and sexuality. We’ll uncover the misinformed messages that have infiltrated the church and been cloaked as “Biblical” views of sexuality.

Our culture calls the pursuit of sexual freedom and fulfillment good, yet it only leads to deeper brokenness and captivity to our sinful desires. Embracing God’s vision for sexuality and intimacy allows us to experience the deep beauty of His design.

Pastor Mark Moore, in his book Quest 52, focuses on the one-on-one encounters of Jesus. Many started with compassion but were followed by action. Join us as Mark shares how we often feel compassion but miss the “and” to join our emotions to action.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus helps us understand that one-at-a-time living requires an out-of-the-way kind of love for people. He teaches His followers to have an extra mile mentality with one person at a time no matter the cost.

Jesus teaches that when the Kingdom intersects into our lives, it can grow far beyond seemingly small beginnings. We are to be intentional with intersections, seeing every opportunity—no matter the size—as a Kingdom opportunity God can do much with.

One of the words that best captures the love of Jesus is the word proximity. Jesus warned the religious not to refuse the invitation of living in proximity with Him. As believers, our proximity to God’s heart reflects our proximity to those He loves.

We want God to do great things through us, but He almost always wants to do something in us first. Maybe the best way to be a person of impact is not to say, “God, what do You want to do through me?” but instead, “God, what do You want to do in me?”

Time and again, Jesus went out of His way for one. It might seem impractical or even reckless, but He was willing to go all in for one. Who is the one we need to focus our attention on finding? How impractical and reckless might we become for one?

We were made for God such that He has total claim over every facet of our lives, including what we do with our bodies. We are to run from temptation and continually offer our whole persons—our bodies and our hearts—to God for the glory of His name.

Within this Christmas story filled with uncertainty, we see God’s providence in how He sent each angel to convey His message of good news. We trust He also will bring just what and who we need to reassure our hearts and accomplish His purposes.

From the time Joseph heard the news of Mary’s pregnancy, through living on the run for three years in Egypt, he was constantly giving. Joseph sacrificed his pride, his livelihood, his plans for the future, and his financial security.

Joseph must have been overwhelmed when told Mary was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. An angel reassured him God was keeping His promises—Joseph just needed to trust the message. Echoed throughout Scripture, this promise is just as true today.

The wise men specifically brought three gifts to Jesus. Whatever their intent, the gifts were likely used in His family’s escape to and provision in Egypt. When we give, we have the privilege of entering into and being a part of God’s great story.

Mary was told that she would bring God in the flesh into this world through the work of the Holy Spirit. With this came uncertainty. Yet, Mary chose to look back and celebrate the broader plan of God that placed her circumstances in perspective.

King Herod pretended to want to honor Jesus, but in his heart resented Jesus’ birth. Had Herod joined the wise men in worship and generosity, his story would have changed forever. Instead, his legacy is that of a king desperate for power at any cost.

The wise men left families, comfort, and security to celebrate Jesus’ birth. As we think about the incarnation and see the journey Jesus took to give us life, we also should take a journey to celebrate the gift and to honor Him with gifts of our own.

An invisible war is all around us, but so is an invisible army through prayer that will surround us on all occasions. We pray knowing that we don’t fight for victory—we fight from victory in Christ, who has already won through His work on the cross.

The majority of the spiritual attacks we face are unseen, with the battleground in our minds. God wants to equip and prepare us to stand against the enemy’s schemes. This means becoming aware of those schemes and putting on the full armor of God.

Beneath our tangible landscape lurks an invisible spiritual realm where unseen battles rage. It’s a serious enemy we are up against, and Ephesians 6 offers us a serious solution—to unlock the strength we can find in the Lord and in His mighty power.
