Previews of the Kingdom
More than any other subject or concept, Jesus spoke about something he called the kingdom of God. It was at the heart of his message and his ministry. But Jesus didn't just talk about it--he lived it. And the stories of Jesus' life give us glimpses or previews of what life in the kingdom is all about.
Up There Will Be Down Here

Kingdom is not a very commonly used word in our culture, but it is essential to how we understand the ministry of Jesus. So what did Jesus mean when he said that the kingdom of God had come and what are the implications for how we live our lives today?

Jesus said that the greatest commandments were to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. But what does it mean to love your neighbor and what does that have to do with life in the kingdom?

Where Do You Stand?

Everyone lives their life before God. But Jesus said that only one way of life is truly right in God’s eyes. Think you know the way? Jesus’ answer might surprise you.
Jesus Wins
2011-04-24 Scott Scruggs
The stories in the gospels show that Jesus heals, Jesus teaches, Jesus leads, Jesus sacrifices, and Jesus saves. But Easter declares the most amazing truth of all: Jesus wins.
Only the Scars
2011-05-01 Scott Scruggs
Our scars always tell a story. After Easter, when Jesus appeared, his body still bore the marks of his past and his pain. But his scars don’t just tell you something painful about his story - they tell you something wonderful about yours.
