The Gospel Creates Community
It is the gospel that creates a new kind of community, which is for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, cultural or social backgrounds, sexual orientation, or any other contrived divisions we can imagine.
​by John Clark

First Love
Doing good works is admirable, but we tend to lose sight of the grace and love of God for us from which those good works emanate. 

​by John Clark

The Woman Jesus Called a Dog
Jesus brings to light the perceptions we have of ourselves and others, not to berate us or condemn us, but to let us know that He loves us even in our sinful condition. 
​
​by John Clark

Battlefield of the Mind
Abiding in the knowledge that Jesus completely removed our condemnation by His death for us on the cross, we see no reason to obsess on our negative circumstances as judgments from God.
​
​by John Clark

The God Who Bends Down to Look at The Sky
In Christ, God comes down to raise the poor from the dust & to lift the needy from the garbage pile.
​
​by John Clark

The God Who Makes Breakfast for Sinners & Failures
When we don’t know what to do, and we keep going back to our same old failures, Jesus comes to rescue us from the dismal drudgery of our guilt & shame.
​
​by John Clark

The God Who Rides a Donkey to Save the World
The "left handed power" of Christ's love and mercy cleansed us from the guilt of our sin, reconciled us to God, granted us eternal life and gave us the righteousness we all so desperately need.
​
​by John Clark

Compassion Takes Over
Before you or I may know it, we will be the ones in need of a kind word, a hug, or someone to tell us that God loves us.
​
​by John Clark

The Transforming Power of Grace, Love & Kindness
We do not change from the accusing fingers pointed at us, we change because of the open arms of God's love.
​
​by John Clark

The Unfailing Resolution
God alone initiated the entire plan of salvation before creation as if it had already been done. It does not require any input, assistance, or even permission from us.
​
​by John Clark

The Advent of Joy
We who are redeemed can look forward to the next advent of Jesus when our physical bodies - as well as all of creation - will be renewed to fully display the glory of God.
​
​by John Clark

The Advent of Hope
Even the worst thing we ever did or could ever think of doing is forgiven as we receive the the grace Christ came to offer. 

​by John Clark

The Uncynical God
God, above all others in creation, has a right to be cynical. But despite of all of our shortcomings, He still loves us unconditionally. 

​by John Clark

Stand Firm in The Gospel
“Standing firm” does not mean we dig our heels in and work harder. It means we are to be solid and immovable in our resolute belief in what Jesus did for us.

​by John Clark

The Power of God is In a Story
You can work hard for 'salvation' & never attain it. Or you can simply believe God's Story & receive it as a gift.

​by John Clark

When the Cursed Get Blessed
In Christ, we who have been cursed due to our failure to keep the Law, are given the greatest blessing ever imagined.

​by John Clark

Landfall: Owning What Troubles Us
When we own our sins, failures and difficulties, they begin to lose their power over our lives.

​by John Clark

God's Got a Good Word For You
In times of anxiety, guilt and distress, we could use a good word.

​by John Clark

The Gospel Gives Us Strength
When the Law crushes us it is the gospel that strengthens us.

​by John Clark

The Gospel is For Everyone
No doubt racism is a great evil. The answer, however, is not found in the law (or even politics).
The answer is found in the gospel.
​by John Clark

Grace: Know It or Live It, There Is a Difference
Have you ever heard of Steve Bartman? Hopefully you have. And what happened to this once hated Chicago Cubs fan may impact your view of forgiveness in a profound way.
It's a parable of grace straight from the headlines.
​by John Clark

Testimonies - Who Are We Boasting About?
It was a service where people confessed their faults "one to another".
The result was hope.
​by John Clark
