Freedom comes at a price. This Memorial Day weekend, we're reminded of the countless men and women who laid down their lives so we could experience liberty.

The story of Jesus clearing the temple is one of the most jarring moments in the Gospels.

There's something powerful about an invitation. Whether it's a handwritten note in the mail, a text from a friend, or an elaborate announcement, invitations carry weight. They say, "You matter. I want you here. You're chosen."But what if the most significant invitation you'll ever receive isn't printed on expensive cardstock with a wax seal?

We stand at the threshold of a profound exploration into the Gospel of John, a book that strips away everything nonessential to reveal one stunning truth: Jesus is God. This isn't just another Bible study—it's an invitation to see Jesus as bigger than we ever have before. Like the child in Chronicles of Narnia who discovers Aslan grows larger each year, we're called to a faith that expands our vision of Christ with every passing season. The opening verses of John take us beyond genealogies and earthly beginnings, catapulting us back to the very foundation of existence itself. Here we encounter Jesus as the eternal Word, the Logos—both divine wisdom and ultimate power, the Creator before He ever became Savior. This distinction matters deeply: only a God who holds life in Himself can offer it to those who are dead. Only an eternal God can promise eternal life. We're reminded that we aren't accidents of cosmic chance, crawling from primordial soup, but intentionally crafted beings made with purpose by a loving Creator. This truth transforms everything—how we view ourselves, how we engage our world, and how we shine as lights in the darkness. The light of Christ doesn't just illuminate our own path; it's meant to pierce the darkness around us, and that darkness cannot overcome it.  Read More
