    Apr 24 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Artemis II is returning from their trip to the moon, and some amazing perspectives are evident in our discussion.

    Shout out to pilot Victor Glover who spoke the good confession of our need for Jesus. Before their trip around the moon, his message of the Christ who spoke love for God, and love for one another. Let us do to others as we would have them do to us.

    Space flight fills the imagination with wonder and amazing perspectives. From space, the Earth is the bastion of life in a void of darkness and death. The good Earth is our gift from the creator God for our journey through life.

  • Can A Good Person Go to Heaven?
    Mar 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Morality without Jesus is a primary topic of discussion among those thinking about Christ. Good things that people do make the world a better place. But is doing enough good enough to get you into heaven? We can look at this question by dividing it into Biblical concepts.

    Who is good? What is good? Is there something you can do on your own merit to purchase your eternal life? Can you buy it? The Bible is clear heaven cannot be earned. It is a gift of grace from God through Jesus Christ.

    Heaven in the Bible is presented as an eternal relationship with Jesus. Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ. Why would you want to be with Jesus if you don’t believe in Him? Why would you want a reward from someone you don’t believe in?

    Are you thinking about your existence after this life as a transaction? Are you storing treasures in heaven by building your relationship with Jesus?

  • Are You Willing? Special guest Josh Higgins
    Feb 27 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Minister at the University Church of Christ in Tampa, Florida, Josh is a guest for our weekend Young Adult weekend at Milwaukee Ave church. The power of the gospel and its ability to change your life for the better is inspirational. Being a Christian isn’t about having all the answers. It means you can’t continue or make it without help from God. Life with God is better than life without God.

    The family of God being a reflection of unity despite untold differences. If you are seeking something better than what you have, look toward changing your life to be like Jesus. Are you willing to entertain the thought there is someone who knows you so well, your deepest darkest secrets, yet still wants to be in a loving relationship with you. Jesus says, “I will not forsake you.” He is not far from you now. The choice for a better life is yours.

  • Preparing or Obsessing
    Feb 12 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    There are those who receive persecution, trials and hardships for their beliefs. Some even are subject to pain, physical attacks, imprisonment and death. Perhaps you were subject to a culture of preparation for these inevitable events. Were they destructive to your psyche in your upbringing? Do you associate faith with that trauma?

    Though the Bible does not sugar coat we will be persecuted for our beliefs, the instruction is to be prepared for when they do happen in your life. The healing that is inherited in following Christ is understanding the power that supports you above those things.

    We pray that peace and love be plentiful in all of God’s family around the world.

  • Closing The Door: A Knives Out Response
    Jan 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    The recent Knives Out movie brings a welcome encouragement for Christians, showing what a positive interaction for Christ would look like. What things matter to you that would cause you to ignore someone in need? To be prepared for good works means being there for others when they need help.

    Have you been able to help someone today?

    If you need inspiration to close the door on something that is keeping you from a life with God, we hope you will consider that for your spiritual wellbeing.

  • Should We Remember the Holy Days?
    Jan 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Leviticus 23 is a chapter that illustrates all the Holy Days of the Jews. These days had cultural and religious significance to those people. Jesus fulfilled these festivals by honoring them and fulfilling them with righteous purpose.

    Jesus’s activity on the Holy Days during the narrative of the New Testament is of note. The miracles and teachings carried out around these festivals brought about great significance to His work. Should we observe the holy festival days today?

  • I’m Not Hurting Anyone Else
    Jan 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    The moral argument is a core apologetic to both Christians and Atheists. While the world was at war, C.S. Lewis brought to a radio presentation a presentation of Christianity without the use of direct scripture reference. A fascinating story on how an argument can be created using secular means is presented in Mere Christianity.

    Considering morality, Lewis presents an argument that morality has three parts. Within yourself, yourself toward others, and collectively as a society and direction represent the three parts.

    If you think you aren’t hurting anyone else with your choices, are you hurting yourself internally? The teaching of the New Testament champions personal improvement and change from your old self. Going so far as to calling our old self evil, calling us to sanctification through internal change. Put aside the old man and renew your mind.

    This internal change is what triggers your interaction toward others. Finding like minded people who are also working out their salvation is the purpose of the church, through edification and community.
