The heart of the gospel is that Christ has come to save us from the judgment of God.

Lord, make me less like Jonah and more like Jesus. Save me from being the kind of person who cares more about my comfort, my reputation, and my success than I do about the people You are calling me to serve. Help me to keep all of my dreams on Your altar and be ready at all times to respond with faith and obedience to Your call.

When God interrupts your life, He is calling you to follow Him in a new way. By breaking into your settled pattern, He is moving you to a new place where you can make fresh discoveries of His grace. Embracing God’s call is never easy, but this is where the pursuit of a God-centered life begins, and where the shame of a self-centered life is exposed.

Our sin reached its full horror and found its most awful expression in the cross.

Authentic gospel preaching always engages people with eternal issues.

Grace is more than God opening the door to salvation; it’s God bringing people in.

The message of Easter is not that Jesus is alive, it is so much more. The message of Easter is that Jesus has risen!
