The fastest-growing 'congregation' of Christians is unchurched. This is both a significant problem and opportunity. The future of the church is inorganic, effective gatherings of believers who are committed to practice loving God and people.
There's a huge disconnect between the way we currently do church and the way that God naturally designed our spiritual communities to grow. The world's population has increased rapidly -- and yet at present, the church as a whole is unequipped to deal with the coming harvest of souls. But…
Turbulent times are ahead, and the only way for us to thrive is to know what God is doing and what our role is. Kingdom reality is always superior to the natural circumstances we see around us, and crises are simply opportunities for us to realign our thinking to His…
In this momentous time of great change, it is of paramount importance that we know what God is doing and our part in it. We are called to be vigilant, watchful and to pray. Where God wants us to be, it is the safest place on earth; when we are…
We've all been given the ministry of reconciliation. However, we sometimes rush into serving God without understanding our sonship in Him. The truth is that before He made us ambassadors of Christ, He made us sons of God. To the degree that we experience this sonship, we are empowered to…

Marriages are under attack. But here's why: the covenant of marriage was always meant to be a picture of God's love for His people. In fact, it is through family that God intends to extend His Kingdom reign over all the Earth.
We were created to be free. Yet the very nature of freedom dictates that when we abuse this freedom, we lose it. The enemy works to deceive us into using our freedom for his agenda, thus enslaving us with sin and bondage. True freedom is found only in Christ. True…
Eph 1:5 tells us that through Jesus Christ we are now God's sons and daughters grafted into His family. We cannot love Him if we do not love His family, the Church whom He had redeemed. But what does a healthy family look like? Rev John takes us through what…
