His Triumphal Entry into My Heart
by Brian Rogres on March 24th, 2026
This morning, as I was mediating on the Triumphal Entry in Matthew 21 and Mark 11, I saw myself preparing my heart for His entry.In the first century, a conquering king would have entered the city on a warhorse, but Jesus chose to enter on a humble little donkey. Jesus does not "storm" my heart with force to conquer it. He comes in the still small voice and in the quiet moments of the day in pray... Read More

Keeping My Thoughts in Christ
by Brian Rogres on March 17th, 2026
Today, while working on a project that required input from an outside institution that I’d been playing phone tag with for months, I had a realization that changed my perspective on "hold time”.When I first initiated the call, I knew the wait would be long. After a few rounds of the automated hold message, I felt impatience rising in my soul. I knew it was my "soul" because I started to grumble an... Read More

Reign in Life
by Brian Rogres on March 3rd, 2026
Each believer receives the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness to reign in life through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17). We are called to reign in life over our souls—our minds, wills, and emotions.The "old man" follows the default settings of the first Adam, rooted in self-preservation with worry, anxiety, fear, loss, defensiveness, and striving as the fruit of sin. In Christ, however, ou... Read More

“In Christ” Not Of This World
by Brian Rogres on February 24th, 2026
Genesis 2:7 tells us that God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being. Prior to the Fall, Adam was formed in the image of God—a three part being of spirit, soul, and body. His inner man was complete and perfect, able to commune with God as He walked in the garden, in the cool of the day. And it was good.Everything chan... Read More

Love of God
by Brian Rogres on February 17th, 2026
God showed His love to the world by sending His Son, Jesus, to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus showed His love by freely giving His life for us.“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”(Galatians 2:20)The lo...

Faith, Hope & Love
by Brian Rogres on February 10th, 2026
As believers "in Christ," our faith works, our love labors, and our hope remains firm to the end. This threefold cord is not easily broken. In 1 Thessalonians 1:3, we see that those who are in Christ continue without ceasing in their work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, all in the sight of our God and Father. We are marked by these three attributes before th... Read More

Complete in Christ
by Brian Rogres on February 3rd, 2026
In a day of instant information and a culture of "now," it is easy to get pulled into the immediate and fail to wait on God to speak. Information is easy to find and literally at your fingertips.In Colossians 2, Paul encourages believers to walk with their hearts (the inner man) being strengthened and fortified in the love of God. He urges them to be fully convinced of their position in Christ, no... Read More

Building Up Your Faith
by Brian Rogres on January 27th, 2026
Building your faith begins with the foundation of Jesus Christ. Everything we do, as believers, is driven by faith. This faith is the active process of believing God’s promises—moving from the unseen to the seen. It is the only thing that truly pleases Him.As Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, it is impossible to please God without faith; we must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligent...

Holding the New
by Brian Rogres on January 13th, 2026
Today when you woke up, you received new mercies according to God’s faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23). We are not consumed because God is merciful. It is not according to your righteousness or your good works, but because you are in Christ and now a new creation; old things have passed away, and you live a new life in Christ.From this place “in Christ”, you live a new, fresh daily walk before th...

New Year, New Season—New You
by Brian Rogres on January 6th, 2026
As we step into this new year, we aren't just changing a page on the calendar; we are stepping into a divine promise. In Revelation 21:5, the Lord declares, "Behold, I make all things new." This "new" is not merely defined by the passage of time or a youthful age—but by a spiritual freshness that is brand new in quality. We must realize that "new" is not just a date; it is a place found exclusivel... Read More
