We’re all about stimulus these days. It’s our public duty to spend money, right? But do you know what’s more important than stimulating the economy? Stimulating the gospel out into a world in desperate need of good news. Stimulating the church to stand up for what we claim is true. That the Lord Jesus Christ is worthy of honor and praise and trust. That He is faithful and sovereign. That Christ alone reigns over and above all this craziness and our hope is in Him.

Loving God is more than a Sunday thing. It's more than a Bible study thing or a once-a-year Easter thing. It's more than a tithing thing or a give-to-the-poor kind of thing. It's not an "I'll do it when I'm not so tired" kind of thing, or when it agrees with my politics kind of thing. Nor does it have anything to do with how we feel. Loving God is a heart, mind, soul, and strength kind of thing, and here's why. https://staceysalsbery.com…

I love the Lord. And if you’re listening to this podcast, I have a feeling you do too. But how extravagant is our love for God? Does it push the boundaries of cultural norms? Or have we put up parameters around our faith? Are we willing to only go so far? Today’s passage is all about extravagant love, and I think you’ll soon see why. We’re in Mark 14:3-9 today. https://staceysalsbery.com…

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been researching the Triumphal Entry, and do you know what I’ve realized? That, in many ways, the Triumphal Entry wasn’t at all what the people were expecting. Jesus wasn’t entering as the long-awaited King to claim the military victory the people desired. Jesus was entering as the long-awaited King to claim the spiritual victory they had no idea they needed. We’re in Mark 11:1-11 today. Happy Easter! https://staceysalsbery.com…

Just before Jesus arrived in Jerusalem for Passover week, He changed the life of a blind man named Bartimaeus by granting him what he’d always longed for: his sight. Overcome with gratitude and joy, Bartimaeus then follows Jesus to Jerusalem. This means one of the very first things Bartimaeus saw with his eyes wide open was the triumphal entry, followed by the Crucifixion of the very man who’d just given him sight. For Bartimaeus, there was a cost to having his eyes opened. A cost I think he was more than willing to carry. We’re in Mark 10:46-52, and I think you’re going to love it. https://staceysalsbery.com…

Appearances can be quite deceiving. Do you agree? We know things aren’t always as they seem, yet the way things appear can have powerful effects on us. This, my friends, is why we live by faith and not by sight. If you’ve been discouraged by the way things look these days, you’re not alone. I’m praying today’s podcast hands you some much-needed encouragement as we look at a few examples from Scripture. https://staceysalsbery.com…

Today we’re in Mark 10:28-31, and I have to tell you, this isn’t the easiest passage for me. And I doubt it’s at the top of your list either. Radical abandonment of worldly treasure in exchange for radical trust in God’s goodness is easier said than done. But according to the promise God gives us in Mark 10:30, it’s worth it. If anyone’s going to reward me, let it be the Lord, right!? https://staceysalsbery.com…

What does it mean to strengthen yourself in the Lord? That's the question we're talking about today. 1 Samuel 30:6 says after David’s wives and his men’s families were captured by the Amalekites, “David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.” But how? When difficulties smack us in the face, what does that actually look like? It looks like remember, surrender, and worship, and then doing it again tomorrow. https://staceysalsbery.com…

I’ve had a heavy heart lately. As I watch national events unfold from my little corner of the world, I’m grieved. What is going on? What is the church in for and how did we get here? Not to mention, what do we do about it? Church, for some reason, we’ve been pretty quiet, but the days of silence need to be over. This world needs Jesus, and there’s no one else to blame but us if we don’t speak up. https://staceysalsbery.com…

We made it to episode 100! Today’s episode is something I’ve been thinking about a lot. January is notoriously a time of resolutions, especially when it comes to reading God’s Word more. Yet, most of the time, we don’t keep our resolutions. We might read for a week, or even exercise for a week or two, and then we’re done. But why? Why is it so hard? Because honestly, I think we have too much to lose. https://staceysalsbery.com…

In Case You Need a Reminder This Christmas. It’s been a long year. I don’t think any of us expected 2020 to turn out the way it has. But as believers, we still have much to celebrate this Christmas. The gospel is still the gospel. Jesus is still the sovereign King of kings, and it’s still the most incredible story ever that our God laid aside His glory to wrap himself in human skin. https://staceysalsbery.com…

This week we’re in Mark 10:17-31. It’s the story of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus and asked what he must do to be saved. In his mind, he was hopeful he’d already accomplished a laundry list of necessities. After all, he’d worked hard to keep many of the commandments, but Jesus chisels his way to the real issue with a response we’d do well to pay attention to. https://staceysalsbery.com…

I don’t know about you but my heart is breaking for all that's going on in our world right now. But we are not helpless and we are not without hope. I've been doing a lot of praying lately, and I thought maybe you have too. There is power in prayer. There is peace in prayer. There is hope in prayer because God answers prayer. Care to join me? Let's pray. https://staceysalsbery.com Psalm 86…

Well, I cannot ignore that today’s a big day. Neither of us knows what’s going to happen today, but God does. He ordained it long ago and that’s a truth I’m clinging to today. We may be surprised by today’s results or we may not. We may be filled with major trepidation and sitting on the edge of our seats, but God never is, and He’s invited us to cling to Him. To come and find rest in Him. To fill our minds with Him. To hope in all His promises. So today, we’re going to do just that. https://staceysalsbery.com…

This week’s Deeper Devo comes from Mark 10:1-12, and I confess, I thought about skipping it. No thank you Lord, I’d rather not dabble in that topic. But all of Scripture is profitable, right? There’s no doubt God has some things to say about divorce but at the same time—He also has some things to say about us. And I think when we look at the two in tandem, we can figure this out. https://staceysalsbery.com…

This week’s Deeper Devo comes from Mark 9:42-50, which is a portion of Scripture I like to refer to as the greatness section. What should we do to be great in the kingdom of heaven? Well there are several things, but as this week’s title gives away, one of those things is fighting sin. As believers if we aren’t fighting against sin then somethings wrong. Our flesh and soul are not on the same page. It isn’t easy to fight sin, but it is necessary. https://staceysalsbery.com…
