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..

Contrary to the Spirit (Jul 1st)

01/07/2016 0 Comment

Verse: For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
— Galatians 5:17-18 tniv
Thought: Our flesh, our sinful nature, is at odds with the Spirit of God. They are at war. So we must yield to the Spirit's lead rather than doing whatever we want.
Prayer: O Father, I am tired of tripping ov..

Verse: “Ah Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” — jer 32:17
Thought: At the very time when the Chaldeans surrounded Jerusalem, and when the sword, famine and pestilence had desolated the land, Jeremiah was commanded by God to purchase a field, and have the deed of transfer legally sealed and witnessed. This was a strange purchase for a rational man to make. Prudence could not justify it, for it wa..

Verse: “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them.” — joh 17:22
Thought: Behold the superlative liberality of the Lord Jesus, for he hath given us his all. Although a tithe of his possessions would have made a universe of angels rich beyond all thought, yet was he not content until he had given us all that he had. It would have been surprising grace if he had allowed us to eat the crumbs of his bounty beneath the table of his mercy; but he will do nothing by halves, he makes us sit with h..

A Salty Peace – Mark 9:50

30/06/2016 0 Comment

Key Passage: “Salt is good. But if the salt loses its salty taste, then you can't make it salty again. So, be full of goodness. And have peace with each other.”
— Mark 9:50 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key Thought: Jesus wants us to be people of character—people who are holy, righteous, pure and redemptive in a world that is none of those things. Jesus wants us to live in peace with each other in our local congregations as well as with other believers even if we do not recognize them as being in “our g..

Let the Holy Spirit Guide Your Lives! (Jun 30th)

30/06/2016 0 Comment

Verse: So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
— Galatians 5:16 nlt
Thought: What has the most influence in my life? Who guides my steps? What determines the values that I live? Whose voice and whose words are most important for me, especially when I am making my day-to-day decisions? The issue is quite simple: if the answer to those questions is not the Holy Spirit, then we are going to find ourselves repeatedly facing our own fai..
