Living the Disciple Life

When God Stops Being Impressed

God is not impressed with outward religion when hearts are far from Him. Isaiah opens with a sobering truth: you can be spiritually active and still spiritually dead. Isaiah exposes the gap between appearance and reality, and it’s one we all need to see.

Finding a Name for Yourself

Every person is on a search for an identity. Our culture tells us the way to find it is to make a name for yourself — through career, appearance, performance, social media, or belonging. The Tower of Babel is the ancient picture of this impulse: humanity gathering, building, and striving upward to secure a name for themselves apart from God. The result was confusion, division, and scattering. But Pentecost is the reversal of Babel. Where Babel scattered, the Spirit gathers. Where Babel confused, the Spirit clarifies. Where Babel left people grasping for a name, the Spirit gives one. The freedom we have been building toward our whole lives is not something we construct — it is something we receive.

A Rule of Life: Building a Trellis for Resurrection Life

Jesus didn’t just come to forgive us; He came to form us into His people. The resurrection invites us not only to believe in Jesus, but to discover our identity in Him, become more like Him and help others to do the same. The beautiful gift is that formation happens as we practice the way of Jesus.

The Slow Work of Transformation: Becoming more like Jesus
