Redeemed in Full

October 27, 2021September 27, 2024 Megan Bean

Prodigal

May 8, 2020October 28, 2024 Megan Bean

Their inner struggles don’t always show in their attitude or actions. Yet they still wander. They still need restoration. And, whatever their driftings, God is more than willing to give it.

The Way Back Home

April 10, 2020October 29, 2024 Megan Bean

Jesus owed His life to no one. Yet He chose to give it up. Because it was the only way to truly bring us and the entire creation "home".

Learning From the Flowers

March 3, 2018October 31, 2024 Megan Bean

The growth, dormancy, and regrowth of these beautiful plants remind me of three key aspects of the Christian faith.
