From Pastor Matthew

There is so much angst, brokenness, and rage in our world today, leaving too many empty and despairing. We see this on the global stage, in our own homes, on the streets where we live, and in our mirrors. Yet this need not be. Jesus Christ has come to make all things new. His person, purpose, and work leaves nothing untouched and no one without genuine opportunity to be both new and whole. Including you.

I am one of countless people from around the globe telling this important story. On these pages we are giving voice to the Good News, Goodness, and Glory of Jesus. How do these things address sin and shame, brokenness, justice, reconciliation, fear, and loneliness? How might any one of us take hold of--either for the first time or the thousandth time--the life-changing power of Jesus? Together, let's find out.

Much of what is written here is divided along the lines of Leadership, Meditation, and Commentary. The Leadership articles give attention to the nature and substance of excellent leadership. The Meditation articles offer reflections on God, the Bible, and the spiritual life. The Commentary articles relate to matters of import from within the public arena. All of these are infused with the Good News, Goodness, and Glory of Jesus. So let's journey together, following this Jesus who makes all things new. I pray this will prove to be a meaningful and life-changing resource for you. If I can personally encourage you as we go, let me know.
