Which soil is your heart? Jesus said there are four types of soil, so every one of us today will fall into one of these four categories: hard path, rocky, thorny or fruitful. Have you ever personally accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, then receive the Word of God today and experience the joy of growing in Jesus. If you are a Christian, then grow deep roots and don’t get distrac...

Jesus brings a new kingdom, a new sign, and a new family. Through Jesus, the kingdom of God comes to earth as the Spirit of God is at work. Jesus is also the ultimate sign of God’s love, giving His life for us so we can have salvation. And through faith in Jesus, we become part of a new family, defined not by blood but by following Jesus and living according to God’s will.

Jesus came to heal and redeem people. Religion is about man trying to get to God. But Christianity is about God coming to man. Religion is about rules, but Jesus is about people. Jesus loves people, and He loves you. When we place our faith fully in Jesus, it changes everything in our lives. He overcomes our fears to bring healing and hope to our hearts. Jesus makes us whole. May we live our entir...

Jesus came to show us the Father and to allow us, as sinners, to gain access to God. God loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to us. Most Christians understand the Gospel intellectually. We know we are not perfect, and we are in need of a Savior. But few Christians actually live in the overwhelming grace and love of God every day. When we do, all fear is gone. We have complete faith...

Jesus doesn’t always work according to our expectations, but He is always faithful to God’s plan. When doubts and questions come, bring them to Him and keep your faith rooted in who you are in Christ. Live with an open heart, reflecting Jesus in the way you live, and let His wisdom be evident through your actions.

Today we come to Matthew 10 in our study of the Gospel of Matthew. Up to this point, Jesus has been teaching His disciples the way of the Kingdom of God and doing all the ministry as they watched. Now, He will send them out to put into practice what they have been learning and seeing in Him. Jesus gives them a charge before they go to trust Him and to choose faith over fear in every situation. Jus...

In Matthew 9, we truly see Jesus’ heart. We have heard Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5-7, seen His miracles in Matthew 8, and now we see His heart. Jesus’ heart is filled with love and compassion. Jesus loves all people. He invites everyone to follow Him. Regardless of your religious background or the mistakes in your life. Jesus invites us on the journey of a lifetime. And, in the process, we grow t...

Jesus invites us to follow Him. But following Jesus doesn’t mean life will always be easy. Even as Christians, we go through storms. Some storms are small - a worry, a fear - a passing moment, but other storms are big - relationships, sickness - a longer battle to fight. But we must never forget that Jesus is in the storm with us. Jesus is greater than anything we will ever face, and Jesus is Lord...

God calls us to live with faith over fear. Yet, we live in a world of fear. We are bombarded every day with worries, doubts and fears. And, every day we must decide if we are going to live with faith or fear. When we bring our fears to Jesus, He hears our heart and answers our prayers. And, when He does, we are called to respond with worship, gratitude and service. What fears do you have today? Fe...

Jesus ends His longest sermon with an invitation. A call to those listening to respond. There are disciples and there is the crowd. How will you respond today? Jesus said there is a wide gate that leads to destruction or a narrow gate that leads to life. Will you enter through the narrow gate of Jesus today? Will you enter into an eternal relationship with the One who came to give His life for you...

Jesus invites us to approach God with confidence, continually asking, seeking, and knocking. Prayer is about trusting our good Father, who knows what we need, transforms us through every season, and calls us to share His goodness with others.

Jesus teaches that while we're called to exercise discernment, we're not called to sit in God's seat as judge. Judgment condemns people, while discernment lovingly evaluates actions and seeks restoration. Before pointing out the faults of others, Jesus challenges us to examine our own hearts and recognize our own need for grace. As followers of Christ, our calling is not to condemn but to humbly h...

In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus cuts straight to the heart of where we place our trust. He warns us that earthly treasures are temporary, calls us to fix our eyes on what is eternal, and makes it plain that divided devotion is no devotion at all. Two treasures, two visions, two masters, but only one worthy of everything we have. Jesus alone is the treasure death cannot take, the light darkness cannot ov...

Jesus teaches us to call God, “Father.” This was unheard of back in that time with Jewish and secular culture. The word Jesus uses is “Abba,” which is translated as “Daddy.” Our God is the perfect Father. He provides, protects, teaches, guides and will always love you. As His child, our desire becomes to live for His approval and to know that He is always with us. When we know God like this, we ha...

Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of Heaven is not simply behavior modification, but heart transformation. Jesus comes to fulfill the Law and to bring us true righteousness through His sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus exposes the motives behind what we do and calls us to perfection. We can never be perfect on our own, but only when we commit our lives to Jesus and allow His righteousness to cove...

Jesus calls His followers to be salt and light, preserving what is good, revealing truth, and pointing others to Him. We make the greatest impact when we live out our faith where God has placed us, using our work, relationships, and daily opportunities to serve others. As we reflect Christ and invest in the next generation, our lives shine in a way that helps others see God and glorify Him.

Jesus invites you to live “The Blessed Life.” In a world filled with external pursuits - money, beauty and success, Jesus tells His disciples that true blessing only comes from the inside. It all starts with the recognition of our need for God. Asking Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of our lives and then allowing Him to transform our hearts. As we experience His love and grace, He makes a differen...

Just like Jesus called His first disciples, Jesus calls us to “follow” Him today. Many people settle for religion. The crowds want a little bit of Jesus to add into their life. But Jesus calls us to radical discipleship that transforms our lives. Jesus has a plan and purpose for each one of us. He calls us to leave our “nets” and live by His agenda. And, Jesus’ plan for our life is better than we...

Baptism is an essential step in one’s spiritual journey. Jesus was baptized as an example for us. And, Jesus was baptized at the beginning of His earthly ministry - not at the end. Baptism is not salvific - meaning, baptism doesn’t save us. We are saved when we put our faith and trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross and ask for forgiveness from our sins. Baptism is an outward expression of...

God invites us to experience "A Kingdom Life"—a journey that offers total redemption from your past, supernatural power for your today, and an unshakable hope for your future. This life begins with the essential step of repentance, which isn't just a feeling of guilt, but a complete transformation of your heart and purpose. Ultimately, we are called to move beyond outward rituals and embrace the l...

Matthew's Gospel is all about fulfillment. He uses that word more than any other Gospel writer and quotes the Old Testament 54 times, nearly double the others, to make one big point: Jesus is the Messiah Israel was waiting for and the Savior for everyone. He shows this two main ways. First, through prophecies coming true in Jesus. Second, through patterns where people or events in the Old Testamen...

The first chapter of Matthew tells us about Jesus’ genealogy and His birth. Jesus’ birth changed our world forever. The thin veil between Heaven and Earth was pulled back, and God came near. Jesus’ Name literally means, “Salvation.” There is salvation for every person because of the grace we receive in Jesus. We have a personal God who loves us and who is near to us. Immanuel, “God with us.” Regar...

God has a plan for your life. We are all a part of God’s Redemptive Story. God created you and put you here at this time in History. As we embark on this journey through the Gospel of Matthew today, we see how everything in History is leading up to Jesus. Our lives and our stories are transformed in Him. If you do not yet know Jesus, then make today the day that changes your life forever. And, if...

It’s Easter! And, our Jesus is alive! King Jesus conquered death and has made a way for us to be forgiven and to experience eternal life. We know Easter is all about what Jesus did for us on the cross and the Resurrection. When we were dead in our sins, Jesus paid our price. Today, will you respond to the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus by receiving Him in your heart and then following Him...

King Jesus was crucified on the cross. The Crucifixion of Jesus on the Cross is the defining point of the world and of our lives. The cross is where we see God’s judgment on sin and His grace for us intersect. The cross demands a response. How will you respond to Jesus? Jesus paid the price for your sins. Will you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and respond to Him today? Jesus paid...
