Moses – Mark 10:3-4

03/07/2016 0 Comment

Key Passage: Jesus answered, “What did Moses command you to do?” The Pharisees said, “Moses allowed a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce.”
— Mark 10:3-4 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: In this Scripture, the Pharisees are able to correctly tell Jesus what Moses said about divorce. In the subsequent verses, Jesus confronts the Pharisees with the truth revealed in their question; they were missing God's central principle about marriage. It is easy to quote Scripture: li..

Following the Spirit’s Lead (Jul 3rd)

03/07/2016 0 Comment

Verse: Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
— Galatians 5:25 nlt
Thought: We are given new life — literally reborn (John 3:3-7; Titus 3:3-7) in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Since the Spirit is the source of our new life, then shouldn't we ask the Spirit to take the lead in every part of our lives? Absolutely!
PrayerO Father, I want you to take the lead in every part of my life through the work of your Holy Spirit..

The Question Trap – Mark 10:2

02/07/2016 0 Comment

Key Passage: Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They tried to make Jesus say something wrong. They asked Jesus, “Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?”
— Mark 10:2 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: Isn't it amazing how religious people can resort to trickery and legalistic debate to try to prove their superiority? Shouldn't we focus on the real issues of God's heart like justice, mercy, and righteous living? Words are important, but religious words become righteous only when they trul..

Verse: “Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.” — ps 28:1
Thought: A cry is the natural expression of sorrow, and a suitable utterance when all other modes of appeal fail us; but the cry must be alone directed to the Lord, for to cry to man is to waste our entreaties upon the air. When we consider the readiness of the Lord to hear, and his ability to aid, we shall see good reason for directing all our ap..

Verse: “Our heart shall rejoice in Him.” — ps 33:21
Thought: Blessed is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages. The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance; they have a buoyancy about them which keeps their head always above the water, and helps them to sing amid the tempest, “God is with me still.”..

This Kind of Fruit! (Jul 2nd)

02/07/2016 0 Comment

Verse: But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
— Galatians 5:22-23 nlt
Thought: While we don't have the personal power to manufacture holiness on our own strength, God's miracle happens in us when we yield to the Spirit's lead in our lives: Christ-likeness takes shape in us! We display the character and compassion of Jesus!
PrayerO Fat..

Teaching the Crowds – Mark 10:1

01/07/2016 0 Comment

Key Passage: Then Jesus left that place. He went into the area of Judea and across the Jordan River. Again, many people came to him. And Jesus taught the people like he always did.
— Mark 10:1 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: Two characteristics marked Jesus' ministry at this stage of his life. First, he was very popular and crowds accompanied him everywhere he went. Second, he taught them God's will. Jesus' goal in attracting people was not to gain an earthly following, but to teach..

Verse: “The voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” — ge 3:8
Thought: My soul, now that the cool of the day has come, retire awhile and hearken to the voice of thy God. He is always ready to speak with thee when thou art prepared to hear. If there be any slowness to commune it is not on his part, but altogether on thine own, for he stands at the door and knocks, and if his people will but open he rejoices to enter. But in what state is my heart, which is my Lord's g..

All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.— 1 Peter 1:24 (NIV)
