When Words Carry Weight
•
Jesu, juva THE POWER YOU’RE NOT USINGMost people treat words like noise. Just sounds. Just communication. Scripture shows something very different. When Jesus spoke, sickness left, storms stopped, bread multiplied. Reality itself shifted at His word. Jesus did not have to use any effort to change anything before Him. Even when He used spit…

The Thief on the Cross
•
Jesu, juva THE THIEF The Man Who Destroyed Our Religious Systems The thief on the cross wouldn’t make it into most churches today. By every measure we use to determine if someone is “really saved,” he’d fail. WHAT HE DIDN’T HAVE By our standards, he had nothing. WHAT JESUS SAID “Today you will be…

Two Seas
•
Jesu, juva Same Source. Different Outcome. Look at a map of ancient Palestine. Two bodies of water connected by a single river. The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. Both fed by the Jordan River. Same source. Dramatically different results. One sea is full of life. The other is dead. Why? THE SEA…

Stop Staring. Start Climbing

Speaking Beyond the Person to the Source
•
Jesu, juva KNOW YOUR ENEMY THE BUTTON PUSHER You know someone who has an uncanny ability to push your buttons. You know exactly which buttons I’m talking about.

Rejoice Always
•
Jesu, juva Even From Prison Philippians 4:4 — Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! THE BACKSTORY How many times have you heard this verse quoted as encouragement without knowing where it came from? We toss it around like it’s easy. “Rejoice in the Lord always!” Sure. When life is good,…

The Awakening
•
Jesu, juva THE AWAKENING When You Finally Wake Up YOU’RE DONE One day you wake up and you’re done. Done with the same unproductive routines. Done watching the days repeat. Done with habits that aren’t growing you into the man you know you’re supposed to be. You’re tired of not feeling your drive. Your…
