God comes to us through the flesh and blood and spirit of Christ precisely where he promised to be manifest to us and for us.

A pastor is sent to proclaim the unconditional grace of God, reminding us again and again that it is our Heavenly Father who reaches out to us in love through his Christ-won forgiveness, and not the other way around.

Only the resurrection of Jesus guarantees and facilitates divine presence and love to us as divine life for us.

The resurrection of Jesus encompasses the total and comprehensive glorification of a human being, not merely his restoration.

Christ Jesus brings his word and presence to where you are and he is even willing to do so through the likes of your personally present pastor.

God's faithfulness is constant and consistent. It knows no season. His love for us doesn't fade with the summer sun.

In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price delve into the profound teachings of John 6:22-59.

In the sacrament, we receive an earnest of that future promise here and now in the body and blood of Jesus given and shed for us.
