Jesus evangelized the rich young ruler without ever directly mentioning how to be saved (by faith in Him). We might ask, 'How is that possible?' Jesus temporarily indulged the man's belief that he could earn salvation, and proceeded to show him his error by means of the Law. The man walked away with a lesser sense of his own piety and self-worth, thus bringing him that much closer to salvation. As...

Jesus' disciples loved their status as the right hand men of the Messiah - perhaps a bit too much so. When they happened upon another who was casting out demons in Jesus' name, they became unduly jealous.

While Jesus is being betrayed into the hands of men, the disciples argue about who is the greatest. Jesus uses a child to illustrate what it means to have the proper perspective about life and eternity. Find out how a little child can help us find the mind of Christ.

The father of a demon-possessed boy is wavering in his belief that Jesus can heal his son. In desperation he asks Jesus, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!" This man's faith was fragile, yet it was put in the right object - Jesus Christ. How would Jesus respond to a man of such faith?

Just hours before His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus prayed for all Christians of all time. Unity was the topic of that prayer. Are we united to our Christian brothers and sisters?

Jesus encourages Peter, James and John with a brief glimpse of the Kingdom of God in all its power. The transfiguration event was meant to motivate them to continue on in the way of the cross as they awaited kingdom glory.

The world can fall prey to worldly greatness, but Jesus' radical greatness is manifested through service.

King Rehoboam of Israel made a critical mistake when faced with his first task as king. He chose to ignore the advice of his elders, and instead to pay heed to the advice of his peers. This decision precipitated the division of the nation of Israel in 931 BC.
