It was an ordinary chapel service on February 8, 2023, in Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University. But what happened next was anything but ordinary, taking almost everyone by surprise. While most left for class, some students remained. Several gospel choir members stayed on, singing softly as a few dozen students lingered in prayer. Throughout the day something spiritually magnetic was underway as hundreds of students returned for unscheduled, ...

Altars have always represented change. They are the places where sacred space meets our surrender and leads to authentic spiritual transformation. From the beginning of time, God's people have built altars to mark the places where God spoke, gave direction, or gave His blessing. It is the place where God's people surrendered offerings to Him in obedience. In the New Testament, Jesus became that surrendered offering, but He also became the plac...

To be a servant, in the most basic sense, is to serve someone other than yourself. In the secular arena, the word servant may even have a negative connotation, but what are its implications for those who follow Christ? What does it really mean to be a faithful servant of the Lord, or to have a servant's heart? In The Life of Servanthood, Timothy C. Tennent gets to the root of what it means to be a servant by laying a foundation through a dist...

The day of Pentecost is not coming sometime in the future. Nor is it a one-and-done event that happened in the past. The day of Pentecost came, is come, and is now here. In fact, Pentecost is an eternal day-it inaugurated the Age of the Holy Spirit. Once that day came, it never stopped coming. We either wake up into that day or we slide into another intervening day of slumber. In Still Day One, J. D. Walt calls the church to wake up to that ...

And what are the surprising implications of this event for followers of Jesus today? In Jesus in the Wild, readers will take a forty-day journey into the heart of one of the most unusual, and often most misunderstood, stories in the Gospel accounts. In this encounter, following his baptism in t...

Receive the Holy Spirit, " Jesus said to his disciples in John 20:22. With the Holy Spirit living in them, Jesus knew that individuals and communities following him as Lord would be empowered to actually become like him in this world (1 John 4:17)-the fullness of what a human being is meant to be-and to minister in the power that comes from him. Spirit-¿lled believers are intended to be signs of God's dynamic, personal, loving, and transformin...

Emerging adults feel the ache of loneliness and long to belong. They are also exiting the American church at such a dramatic clip that the fundamental spiritual fabric of our country will be eroded over the next thirty years. Christian leaders who create family-like communities of belonging will reverse these trends, reach and form young adults, and will help pioneer the next great awakening. To imagine renewal, one must take a closer look at ...

We all come from someone, somewhere, and something-a people, a place, and a story. So does Jesus. The heart and mission of Emmanuel, God with us, is more profoundly understood by exploring the well-watered roots that flowered into Jesus's life as the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14). The roots of Jesus are his family tree and its characters, the land of Israel and its towns and terrain, and the incredible faith-story of God's covenant peopl...

As we impress the Word of God on our hearts, talk about it along the way, write it on our gates and our doorpost, bind it to our wrist, text it to our friends, anchor in with our families, the Word does the work. Our part is not passive. It's just not primary. Only one kingdom will prevail-the kingdom of Jesus-and it is hovering just over the present state of chaos in our world, already breaking in through the tiniest seeds that will become-an...
