Good News About Good Friday

God was able to create the world out of nothing by just the power of his word. But God is not able to forgive you by just “deciding” to forgive you. You’ll never know the depth of God’s love for you until you first know the depth of God’s wrath poured out on Christ for you in the cross.

Re-imaging Your Work as Worship: Faith & Work Series Part 2

Re-imaging Your Work as Worship: Faith & Work Series Part 2

We normally separate worship and work in a way that God doesn’t. As we take a deeper look at God’s original purpose for work, we learn that God’s purpose is to make everything he created even better through our work as his “sub-workers.” God sees our work as worship.

The Answer Our World Needs: A Personal Message From Steve Childers

Last night I spent an hour on a secure video conference answering questions (with a translator) from church leaders in the persecuted underground church in East Asia who are completing one of Pathway Learning’s Fall online and onsite church planting courses in Mandarin.
