John Vermilya // January 8, 2023 The world apart from Christ is marked by chaos, confusion and unrest. But the promise of the Gospel is a regenerated heart, which enables a supernatural peace and order into our lives.

John Vermilya // January 1, 2023 What we pursue in church gets sideways when we elevate personal or dramatic experience over the common good. The Bible calls us back to the real power and presence of God.

John Vermilya  // December 25, 2022 Magi traveled far to worship Jesus and present Him gifts at His birth. But the reality is that Jesus’ journey to be with us, and to be the gift of God Himself, was much greater.

John Vermilya // December 11, 2022 Living in community requires sacrifice, which highlights the appeal to live as a spiritual lone ranger instead. But Jesus calls us into a family and fellowship called the church.

John Vermilya // December 4, 2022 The issue of spiritual gifts has caused much confusion, controversy and abuse. But when we understand the purpose and nature of these gifts, the cloudy becomes clear.

John Vermilya // November 27, 2022 The trap of complacency leads to selfishness, division, exclusion, and indifferent attitudes towards others in church. All are dishonoring to Jesus, the Gospel, and the body of Christ.

John Vermilya // November 20, 2022 Following Jesus isn’t as complicated as we make it. We are easily influenced by culture, we get distracted by external behaviors, and we end up ignoring the attitude of our heart towards God’s design.

Tim Burgess // November 13, 2022 This bit of Paul’s letter to the Church in Corinth gives us an opportunity to clarify a beautiful word that is used within Christian gatherings probably more than any where else in the world: Glory.

John Vermilya // November 6, 2022 When Christians think they have a handle on following Jesus, complacency sets in. Faith in God is replaced by faith in self, and what follows are a host of sins that displease God.
