Kyle Kauffman | Jan 5 2025

Before getting honest with each other, we are meant to get honest with God. It’s pointless to start confessing our sins to one another if we have not first confessed our sin to God. Real confession and repentance start with realizing that our sin is first and foremost against God. We also recognize that our sin is not simply bad behavior, but rather a heart that is resistant to God. And we recognize that forgiveness and real change must come from God. So, we approach God with honesty, confessing our sin to him, receiving grace from him, and asking Him to be the one who cleanses us and changes our hearts.

Kyle Kauffman | Jan 19 2026 Sin is like a nocturnal animal. It loves to hide away in the darkness. But the more we hide it away, the more sin tends to thrive and grow. It’s often only as we bring our sin into the light that it starts to lose its power. This is exactly what John is calling us to do in 1 John 1:5-10. It’s why confession to others can actually be a means of God’s grace in our lives. Confession acts to bring what was otherwise hidden into the light. This act loosens some of the power of sin and helps us to find support in our fight against sin. John tells us that confession of sin strengthens our relationships with each other in the church and strengthens our grip on the gospel. As we confess our sins we experience real (not fake) fellowship with one another and we experience the felt forgiveness that is ours in Jesus Christ. These things then give us greater power to fight the sin that is in our lives.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Jan 12 2025 One of the reasons we are prone to fake it and hide away our sin is because we don’t really believe the gospel. If we believe the gospel, then it should free us from having to act like we have it altogether or aren’t really sinners. The gospel is based on the very fact that we really are sinners who need a savior. The gospel assures us that we are accepted by God despite our sin. As those who are united with Christ, we are fully known and completely loved by our God. When we understand that, we are freed to risk being honest with other people because we don’t need their acceptance and approval. And the more honest we are about our sin the more we will have a community that displays what it feels like to be both known and loved by each other.…

Josh Stalnaker | Dec 29 2024 Everyone craves relationship. the Bible is full of examples of people craving relationship in positive and negative ways. God exists in relationship as the Trinity and has existed like that for all eternity. John 1:35-51 introduces us to some of Jesus' first disciples and how they began following Him. In two instances (Simon Peter and Nathanael) individuals hear about Jesus through relationships they have with others. Not much has changed, people still follow Christ because someone they know introduced them to Jesus. Relationships give us the opportunity to use the craving we have been created with to introduce people to Jesus and to pour into others lives as they grow in the Gospel.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Dec 22 2024 We all have the desire for a life that is full, satisfying, and complete. But so often we look for life in the wrong places thinking that what we long for can be found somewhere other than God. Jesus came so that we might find life in God. Not simply so that we could treat God as an add-on to our already full lives. The more we come to truly know God the more we find our hearts and lives satisfied in him. Jesus came so that we might truly know God. In Jesus we find a God who is full of glory, full of grace, and full of love. It’s as we live to know this this God that we find the fulness of life we are longing for.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Dec 15 2024 Jesus came to this earth, not simply because we need a good example to follow or a good teacher to give us spiritual pep talks. He came to this earth because apart from him we don’t really have life. He did not come to this earth simply so that we can have a day off in December, fun traditions, and a reason to give each other presents. If that’s all Christmas is, it’s just a distraction from reality that makes us forget our terminal condition. Jesus came to this earth to give life to those who are dead. John 1:10-13 exposes our desperate situation, holds out the hope of new life in Christ, and shows us how this new life is received and enjoyed.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Dec 8 2024 John 1:1-3 introduces us to the “Who” behind Christmas. In one of the most precise, powerful statements in the Bible, John tells us the one who came as a baby at Christmas is the God who created life (and all things) and gives meaning to life and our existence. John reveals that behind and at very center of Christmas stands the God who wants to be Known. This is why He created, this is why He took on human flesh, this is why He still speaks to us today. We find that Christmas supplies answers to some of our most important questions in this life like, “Why am I here? How can I find meaning for my life? Does God exist? If He does, how can I know Him and relate to Him? And so we find that Christmas challenges us to orient our lives completely around knowing this God.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Dec 1 2024 Light and life are intricately connected. Light is necessary for life to exist. Light enables us to see things as we should. Light exposes what would otherwise remain hidden. Light gives us hope in the face of darkness. When John declares that Jesus is the light, He is saying the exact same thing about Him. There may be all sorts of other places we look for ‘light’ in this life. But light that truly brings life, joy, and hope is only found in Jesus. We see our lives differently when we see that Jesus is the light. We walk through life differently when we see Jesus is the light. And we find hope in all the darkness of our lives when we see Jesus is the light. Jesus came at Christmas so that our lives might be connected to and illuminated by Him as our light.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Nov 24 2024 Do we believe that God truly loves the world? Do we believe it is God’s desire to save sinners? Do we believe that God does not wish for any to perish? It’s easy for the church to become inward focused and to lose its passion to see the gospel advance and sinners saved. But when this happens, we actually have lost our understanding of God’s heart for the world. Jonah is a book that displays God’s love not just for his people, but also for those who are not yet his people. We, as his people, are called to have the same heart that God has for the world. God is always moving outward in His love for people and he calls the church reflect his heart by moving outward as well.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Nov 17 2024 Jonah’s response to the salvation of Nineveh is one of the most surprising parts of this book. How can Jonah be so upset that God chose to save Nineveh? Why would Jonah, who has been a recipient of God’s amazing love and grace, be so angry when God shows that same love and grace to others? Yet, even as we ask those questions, we are forced to see something of ourselves in Jonah. How often, do we as recipients of God’s grace live with an attitude towards others that is completely out of line with his grace? How often are we who have bene saved, completely comfortable with the through that other will perish? How often does our attitude towards the world (especially whoever we perceive as our enemies) the same as Jonah’s?…
 
Brandon Fisher | Nov 10 2024 Jonah 3:5-10 may be one of the most surprising sections of the Bible. An entire city, along with its King, who were enemies of God and His people believe the message of Jonah and responded in repentance. We find in this section that God’s power is able to save even those who we think are most beyond the reach of saving. We find a picture of what true repentance looks like. And we also see a beautiful picture of how God responds to repentance.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Oct. 27 2024 God’s saving love experienced is what he uses to commission us to be messengers of His word to others. God saves people so that he might then send them to warn others and speak his message of salvation to others. His love is what qualifies and calls us to be His ambassadors to the world. While not every Christian is called to be a missionary (like Jonah), all Christians are called to take part in God’s mission to spread the gospel by speaking the truth. And yet the story of Jonah tells us that even when we blow it as God’s messengers, there is still hope for us. And even when our message is incomplete or inadequate, God is able to save.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Oct. 20 2024 God acts in history to save people. This is how God displays his love. This is how we experience God’s love. This is not just the story of Jonah, but it’s also the story of the entire Bible and it’s the story of everyone who has placed their faith in Jesus. Jonah’s powerful prayer/psalm gives us a memorable picture of how God acts to save his people. It leads us to praise, dependence, and trust as we look to the God who saves in our own lives. And it points us to our Savior and what he experienced in order to accomplish our salvation.…
 
Kyle Kauffman | Oct 13 2024 Love can be painful because love seeks to do what’s in the best interest of someone else even when it hurts. We often conceive of love in nice and neat categories. But Jonah shows us that God’s love is what will lead him to send storms our way in this life. These storms are often the very means God uses to save us, to expose and destroy our idols, and to draw us back to him when and where we have wandered. God’s love is also what drove him to send his greatest storm upon His very own Son so that we could be saved.…
