Jesus was all about love. Love yourself, love your neighbor, take care of widows and orphans. And just like with every edict God gave, people took it to the extreme. In the temple, metal bell-like receptacles were set up to receive the alms and offerings used to support the temple and help the poor. The […]

How often have we heard Romans 8:28 thrown around as a verse that promises that God will work out everything just like people want? Or that it applies to everyone?The problem is, Paul wrote neither of those things. “God will cause everything to work together for the good…” The reality is, we don’t always know […]

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” I don’t know about you, but every time I read these words, I want to either shout hallelujah or collapse in a quivering heap. These words were written at the time when Israel […]

Who here needs rest? You’re bone-tired and can hardly think? Who here needs joy? Your life is nothing but trial and turmoil and hurt and shame with no end in sight? God was telling Jeremiah of His heart for Israel, His wandering people. He would punish Israel because she would not turn away from the […]

Be on guard.Stand firm in the faith.Be courageous.Be strong.…And do everything with love. Sounds like a list of things a parent might tell a teen before leaving for a weekend. “Take out the trash. Wash your dishes. Don’t open the door to strangers.” Here Paul was writing to the believers in Corinth from the city […]

God chose Israel to be His special people. Why? The Book talks about His glory being made evident through them. Here in Colossians we see something about His choice again. That choice being us. Believers. Those who have chosen to be in a salvation relationship with Him. I confess. I do not understand this concept, […]

It’s counterintuitive. It doesn’t make sense. The ones with true power serve no one, but are served, right? Not according to Jesus. In His kingdom, everything we know is turned upside down. The powerful are weak. The weak are powerful. Not in the way that the weak take over through revolution, though. It’s just the […]

What We’ll Cover Today: IS anger a sin? WHY do we get angry? WHAT do we do with our anger? IS Anger A Sin? The Lord was very angry with them, and he departed. Numbers 12:9 I, the Lord, was very angry with your ancestors.  Zechariah 1:2And “don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t […]

Come all who are thirsty… Isaiah wasn’t talking about physical thirst, water, milk, or wine. He was talking about the same thirst that Jesus talked about with the Samaritan woman He met at the well. Every one of us is born with a thirst for something more, something beyond what we see, feel, hear, smell, […]

What rich words! What joyful thoughts! Okay, okay, follow with me. Not going to be easy to keep up with me this morning! God knew before He said “Let there be light!” that mankind would sin and choose things other than Him. He knew that. Still He lifted the dust and formed a man, then […]

Have you ever heard or said, “That person should practice what they preach!”? I know I have. That is sort of what 1 John 2:6 is saying. If we identify ourselves as believers in God, having experienced salvation through His sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we should be living as He did. Does that […]
