John Vermilya // May 15, 2022 Disciples cannot be mass-produced in a class or program. Instead they are painstakingly custom-made by the Holy Spirit, and with the disciple’s participation.

John Vermilya // May 8, 2022 The ascension marked the end of Jesus’ personal ministry and the beginning of the Great Commission. But most Christians are sadly ignorant of this defining moment.

John Vermilya // April 24, 2022 Some people believe the Bible is a collection of stories, morals and life lessons to make them into better people. Instead it’s an epic drama with one single plot line about one single hero.

John Vermilya // April 17, 2022 If the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a myth or an idle tale, then Christianity is a waste of time. But if you really believe Jesus rose from the dead then everything changes.

John Vermilya // April 15, 2022 Jesus died a slow death on the cross. He suffered unrelenting agony and utter humiliation to atone for our sin, pain, and bear our shame. Jesus did so that we could be forgiven.

John Vermilya // April 10, 2022 Jesus was despised, rejected and abused by those he came to save. He willingly took upon himself the punishment they deserved, and then faced the crucible of suffering alone.

John Vermilya // April 3, 2022 The difficulty of being imperfect people in an imperfect world pressures us to give up or give in. Jesus agreed that life is hard, but encouraged us with the fact that he has overcome the world.

John Vermilya // March 20, 2022 Packing up, closing accounts and staring skyward is not how to prepare for Jesus’ return. What preparing yourself does look like was explained in the second half of Jesus’ sermon.

Britton Bishop // February 13, 2022 Too often we as Christians find ourselves being short-sighted. We focus on the immediate and lack an eternal perspective. We allow fear and anxiety to drive our lives, when Christ is calling us to a fuller life.
