Hope is the theme of first week of Advent. But chocolate should be in there somewhere.


♱♱♱

“Reflections” happen on Sundays and special occasions. They’re shorter than what we do Monday through Saturday when we spend about 20 minutes a day and get through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months.

Oh, and we do this together — with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.

Roger Courville, CSP is a globally-recognized expert in digitally-extended communication and connection, an award-winning speaker, award-winning author, and a passionately bad guitarist. And…

…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world.

Reflection: Gospel-Shaped Life (Romans 12:9-21)

A raiding king, a prophet's response, and the marks of a Christian life in light of God's mercies. A sermon. Sort of.

A raiding king, a prophet's response, and the marks of a Christian life in light of God's mercies…today’s Reflection is actually a sermon from a couple days ago. Not my best ever, but God doesn’t need my brilliance, because His word is light and life.
