Spirit and Truth

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Spirit and Truth. Truth and Spirit. Two words Jesus linked together in proclaiming who will be a worshipper of God. But they can be so hard to balance. Spirit is personal, emotional, in some ways subjective. Truth is the opposite. It is objective, universal, the will and authority of God. Jesus is asking us to give them equal weight and that is hard. Can I ask you: which of the two is more important? If you were going to be good at one and not good at the other, which would you prefer it be? We'll dig in deeply on that to

S3 E21 - Magnolia Bloom

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail 4 years ago we planted a little southern magnolia tree in our front yard, and since then it seems like it has done just about nothing but hang on and survive. No blooms. Very little growth. I was just about to rip it up until the most amazing thing happened...a single bloom appeared on our little tree. This whole time I thought it was doing nothing, but as it turns out it just needed a little more time. Well...how often is this the exact lesson we need to remember when it comes to our other relationships? We often have wrong expectations of others or even ourselves...our child

PHOTOGRAPHY: Snapshots vs. sketches. "The Kissing Sailor." Cameras. Picture Perfect.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! “But Hal,” you may be saying, “photography wasn’t invented until the 19th Century. What does it have to do with the gospel?” Well, that’s what you’re here to find out, right? This week we will discuss whether God is a photographer or a sketch artist; who the most famous anonymous couple in America actually was, and whether we should care; what exposure to Jesus can do if we take the lens cap off; and the perfect way to take the perfect picture of not-so-perfect people.

Images of Jesus

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! How do you see Jesus? We are called to cast our eyes on Him. We are told to see Him and we are given descriptions of Him. For me, for a long time, most of my images of Jesus had Him on the throne at times, but often looked back into His ministry on the earth. Maybe Jesus healing people. Maybe Jesus on the cross. Those are great ways to visualize His love. But those are past events. Those are earth bound events. They don't exactly picture where He is now, or fully embody who He is. So let's give some attention to the book
