Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund is a rich and encouraging book about the very heart of Christ. Ortlund delivers the gospel in a deep poetic way. Jesus’ grace in kindness is not a product he delivers, but it is himself. We do not need to uphold our own morality. It is just the encouragement we need in 2022.

What is peace? A day without work? A break from tending children? Is it an afternoon at the spa, or the theater, or the mountains? I often imagine peace as the absence of internal or external noise and chaos. If that is the case, then peace is reserved for the privileged. Read on to see how Jesus not only gives us peace, but actually transforms our entire existence into one where the peace of God reigns. Read Isaiah 1:1-10 for the beauty and hope of God’s reality.

On the heels of multiple shootings near high schools in North Aurora, continuation of a deadly pandemic, and division in the Church, we wait in darkness for hope and relief, and cling to the good news offered in Jesus.

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness” Genesis 1:26

We are the image of God or Imago Dei and this changes everything.

An exhortation to listen from the heart and love like Jesus.
