Our desire is that you will experience the hope and encouragement of Christ without pressure or hype.

You Don’t Make Your Peace With God
Dec 15
The peace from God–introduced at Christmas, manifested in Jesus, accomplished at Calvary, and sustained by the indwelling Spirit – what does something so high-sounding look like in the most ordinary moments? What makes for this peace, both in its...

In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

Advent 2024

Advent 2024 Audio Devotionals

During Advent, we are focusing on the promise accompanying the Arrival of Jesus one might argue most lacking in the world at-large and in our inner world: peace. Each day poses its own challenge for peace to prevail within us and among us. For your days between Sundays, a few words about peace we didn’t have time for in sermons, but which might still arrive right on time.

Disturbance of the Peace, II: Anger

In week two of Advent Fodder, we talk about a second disturbance to the peace: anger. Fear rattles us. Anger consumes us like flame to a moth. Yet, we see Jesus at times indisputably angry. Was it for him a moment of weakness, as most of our moments of anger are? Or is He a model of anger that helps us find what anger is and is meant to be? Before we’re done, we’ll apply two tests to see the character of our anger. Most anger is a disturbance of the peace of God, but some anger lives squarely in the center of that peace.

Disturbance of the Peace, I: Fear

For many fear has a pride of place in what disturbs our peace. Hear "Laura's" story about her confrontation with fear and maybe hear your own story in hers.
