Begin Again, Day 24 Keep track. Read Joshua chapter 12. As we read through this chapter, it can get a little overwhelming with all the names and places that are listed. But, what we see here is a comprehensive list of the victories that God gave the people of Israel. As we continue our practice of obedience to Christ, it’s important to keep track of the victories that he gives us. Sometimes we can get so caught up in moving on to the next thing that we don’t take the time to praise him for the victories, or to recognize and record the blessing that God gave us in our…

The Encouragement Letter, Day 9 Encourage others. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15. Paul has been sharing the importance of encouraging other people. He wrote the entire letter to encourage the Thessalonians, and now, as he’s coming to a close, he wants them to understand how important it is that they pass along what they have received from him. He has encouraged them so they are to encourage others. Why do we receive the things that we receive? We receive them so that we can bless other people. We see that theme over and over throughout the entire Bible. God blesses us so that we will bless others. God encourages us so…

The Next Steps, Day 25 The defense. Paul was making his defense in Acts 25. Do we know our defense? Are we clear on what God has done in our lives? We must keep that in mind and stay focused on him each day.

The Next Steps, Day 10 Apologies for the delay. We had some technical difficulties and will get caught back up. Peter’s strange dream. As we read through Acts 10, we see that Peter had an incredible dream that takes him down a path he had not expected, the path of preaching to the Gentiles. Reading through this chapter, we come to understand that God’s message is for everyone. No matter the background or history, God wants to reach out and share the message with all. As we see Peter, he didn’t realize that and he had to be shown how important that principle is. As we continue, we see that…

The Gospels through the Summer, Day 61 How do we live out our faith and how does that faith define us? Read Luke 17. As Jesus continues teaching, we see his disciples asking him about the kingdom of heaven. They want to know and understand better what their future will look like and what it will mean to be part of the kingdom of heaven. Along with this, we see Jesus heal a group of lepers. What is the common theme throughout this chapter? Faith. Jesus wants us to understand that the same faith that allows him to work and move in our lives in miraculous and wonderful ways is…

Left-handed Ehud, #1 We’re going to jump back to the Old Testament and take a look at a little known character by the name of Ehud. What was so special about Ehud, you ask? Ehudd was left handed. But before we get to him, we have to understand the world he lived in. Read Judges 3:14-16. Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord . So the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord . And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and defeated…

Journey Through Ephesians, #15 We must put on the new self. We cannot stay like we were. Once we have accepted Christ, our life changes. Read Ephesians 4:17-24. So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness. But you did not learn Christ in this…

Journey Through Ephesians, #9 God gives us wisdom for a purpose. Read Ephesians 3:1-10. For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles- if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you; that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;…

Journey Through Ephesians, #8 You belong. So many people in the world are searching for that sense of belonging and fellowship. Paul explains where we can find that. Read Ephesians 2:17-22. and he came and preached peace to you who were far away , and peace to those who were near ; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole…

Journey Through Ephesians, #7 So much has been talked about regarding division and hatred in the United States recently. But division and anger are not new concepts. Read Ephesians 2:11-16. Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands- remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For…
