The devil’s first trick, and some might say his only trick, is to take the truth and twist it into a lie. And while he may have succeeded in deceiving Adam and Eve in this way, his twistings don’t work with Christ!
Anchored In Christ 005 | The Sign of the Gospel
Just as the magi had a sign that pointed them to Christ, so do we today! But ours isn’t a star in the sky. It’s much greater than that!
God is Love
Love is primarily God’s action for mankind. Love is manifest in the gift of Jesus. And the focal point of Jesus is His death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins. This is love. This is God. This is Gospel.
Anchored In Christ 004 | Christmas is for Sinners
It can be easy to get lost in the details of Scripture that we forget the big picture. Christmas is a good time to step back and marvel at what God has done for us in Christ Jesus.
Crucial Conversations 023 | Slavery is Freedom

Anchored In Christ 002 | Chosen by Grace

Crucial Conversations 013 | The Lens of Jesus
Crucial Conversations is back! And we’re experimenting with a new format. But the best part is that this episode is full of Jesus. Today, Kevin and Peter talk about how we read Scripture. It’s all about Jesus, but it’s easy to forget that.
