Beginning

New Years and Epiphany are about new beginnings with God, so what better place to begin again than in the book of Genesis.

Irrevocable

One of the clearest indicators that you’re in a relationship with the God of all the worlds and many names is a broadened heart. Do you love those who think differently, love differently, and worship differently than you?

Order

The 10 commandments were a gift given to people newly into freedom – these tenets will create well-being in community. They are a channel to freedom.

Settled

Can the essence of power and its impact be truly understood without discussing forgiveness? Joseph, the second most powerful person in Egypt, chooses to forgive his brothers who threw him into a pit and slavery. To Joseph, it was settled.
