Putting Others Needs Over Your Needs
on September 25th, 2020
One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer – at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. (Acts 3:1-2) During Pentecost that is described in Acts chapter 2, something happened not just while a group of believers, the Church... Read More

Beyond the Church Walls
on September 24th, 2020
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:7-10) In light of the public health crisis facing our nation and our world, many o... Read More

Loving Everyone
on September 22nd, 2020
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing ... Read More

Faith Without Deeds
on September 21st, 2020
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:... Read More

Less Saying, More Doing
on September 20th, 2020
And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8) Yesterday, we talked about the three things the Lord requires of us as His followers: justice, mercy, and humility. Today, I want to take a closer look at what each of these words mean. The Hebrew word “mispat,” translated “justice,” means essentially to correct oppression. It is... Read More

Justice, Mercy, and Humility
on September 19th, 2020
With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require... Read More

Never Give Up
on September 18th, 2020
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10) On April 30, 1945, an unknown Jewish writer left a note for a friend who helped him escape Hitler by h... Read More

God Is Up to Something
on September 17th, 2020
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) Are you going through something difficult right now and asking yourself, “Where is God in this? What is He doing? Can I be sure He’s doing something, or is He just sitting on ... Read More

You Can Tell Jesus
on September 16th, 2020
The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted and had John beheaded in prison. His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. (Matthew 14:9-12) The story of John the Baptist’s death is one many of us have... Read More

Speak The Truth In Love
on September 15th, 2020
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the wav... Read More

Faith During Adversity
on September 14th, 2020
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10) One of the hallmarks of our history ... Read More

Sticking Together
on September 13th, 2020
On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. (Mark 6:29) In light of all that our country is facing right now, people wonder, and perhaps rightfully so, where is the Church? It is a question that has risen from those who have been disaffected with and disappointed by the Church. It is a question that comes from those outside of the Church. And it is a questio...

Be Angry, But Don’t Sin
on September 12th, 2020
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger. (Ephesians 4:26) There is a common misconception about anger that needs to be cleared up. Feeling angry about something is not a problem. It’s not sinful. Even God gets angry. Psalm 7 talks about how God is a righteous God and a God who also feels anger and indignation. And if God, who is without sin, can be angry, then we know an... Read More

Break the Cycle
on September 11th, 2020
Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father’s clock. Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their clock. When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?” They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. H... Read More

The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and wen...
