by Jonathan Merki on February 11th, 2024
Jubilee!Just the sound of that word brings me joy! For in Jesus, You LORD, have given me not only a year of jubilee, but a lifetime. Yes, You have declared liberty (Leviticus 24:10) that not only frees me from my debt of sin, but gives me an inheritance of Life.

by Jonathan Merki on February 10th, 2024
As we read of the sacred festivals (Leviticus 23), O LORD, we are reminded that every good and perfect gift comes from Your hand (James 1:17).

So, we who are human, broken and fickle; we who are forgiven and cleansed and made holy by Your grace; we who are growing degree by degree into w...  Read More

by Jonathan Merki on February 7th, 2024
Our Father and our God,There are days we do battle within ourselves and days we war against the enemy openly. We know the instigator of the battle is the enemy of our souls. We also know that in our own strength and because of our fallenness, we cannot win the battle. But, thanks be to God, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, the battle has been won (Romans 7:25)!
