Today in place of a written post, we offer a video sermon by John Piper entitled The Supremacy of Christ. Less than 20 minutes in length (18:53 to be exact), it is well worth the time investment. You will be challenged, humbled, encouraged, and overwhelmed with gratefulness to our Creator for His mercy and grace. As Piper says, it all comes down to the supremacy of Christ.

He really does want to hear all about it, it’s not because He doesn’t know. It’s because He does. I {Read More}
New Year’s Resolution: make Jesus a priority. How often has that been on your resolution list? If you are like many Christian women it’s been there many times, if not every time. By February (if not January 2nd) it’s the kind of resolution that nags and brings guilt. You remind yourself that there’s still 10 months (or 11, or 12) to get back on track. But schedules, routines, health issues, work and exhaustion pile up. Before you know it, it’s time {Read More}
