Four more days until the winter semester of Equip Her Bible Studies begins again! Are you ready to come out of hibernation and join us? Granted, there's not much that will get me out of the house on these cold January days, but Tuesday Mornings at Berean is one of them. And though we can't promise …
Jesus Is King
By Renee Meyer Traditionally, on the fourth Sunday of Advent we consider that Jesus is King. Hark! the herald angels sing, 'Glory to the newborn King!' . . . Joy to The world! the Lord has come; Let earth receive her King . . . This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and …
Jesus is God
It comes up too often to ignore, to push aside and move on. Whether lingering over warm cups in my favorite coffee shop, sitting face-to-face at the kitchen table, or side-by-side on a fireside sofa, our conversations often come to “where is God in this?” Where, indeed, is God in the dark places that mark …
A Savior is Born
A cross forms the backdrop for my nativity scene downstairs. There’s a reason for that. I don’t know about you, but I need a visual reminder—not just once, but many times during the holiday season—for the real reason we celebrate. Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas. I love how the season starts with "thanks …
Jesus, Light of the World
If I really need some uninterrupted time in the morning, I bundle up and head outside to my porch. When the sky is deep and dark I might happen to glimpse a falling star. It’s never much more than a glimpse out of the corner of my eye at a flash of light. In the …
Grateful Now

Jesus learned firsthand about this waiting …
Winter Preview
Doesn't take much to get us thinking about winter these days. Simply step outside and you're there. But before we get distracted by the millions of things that will occupy our time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, let's take a moment and look at what's ahead for us on Tuesday Mornings next January. Unless you are already …
Oh For Grace to Trust Him More
By Carey Helmink I am a fairly transparent person. I’m not very good at pretending that I’m okay when I’m not. I typically call a spade a spade. I think my poor pastor husband lives with a certain amount of fear that I’m going to say something at some point that might get him fired. …
Our Great God
This week one of our teachers, Sara Eyster, shared her thoughts on the topic What Worship Means to Me. I know you will be blessed by what she had to say. What a good exercise for each of us to pursue. What does worship mean to you? It’s a personal exercise and a revealing one--even a …
He Knows Your Name
Names are important, aren’t they? They’re one of the first things we ask for when we want to get to know a person. They are the reason parents spend so much time poring over lists of baby names and their meanings. They are how we are known, an essence of who we are. Names are …
