 Matthew 13:1-13 - Jesus uses parables to both conceal and reveal the truth.  He challenges His listeners by telling them parables relating common everyday things to spiritual truth.  Jesus seeks out those who want to genuinely follow Him and He spends his last days helping those people grow in their knowledge of Him

Psalm 46 - In an uncertain world, we need to be tethered to something that will not move.  David does not live in fear, because his confidence is in God.  He waits patiently on God and he understands that God is with him in every situation.  David understands that G od is still on the throne and we must remember that as we go forward in 2021. 

Joshua 3,4 - After Israel prepared to cross the Jordan, the day came when they had to act.  They went forward in faith, trusting that the God of the desert was also the God of the water.  No barrier (included a flooded river) would keep them from the Land God promised them.  They were committed to following God completely and the same should be true of us as we head into 2021.  

Joshua 1-3 - As Israel comes to the end of 40 years of wandering in the desert, they face a new journey.  Joshua challenges the people to be strong and courageous during the days ahead.  They must obey and follow God in order to claim the victory that already belongs to them. May we each face the new year with strength and courage in the road that God has ahead for us. 

Luke 2 - In the Christmas story we see young and old, poor and rich worship Jesus.  The story is about Jesus and He is the center of the story.  His birth demands a response and you will either see Him as a baby or as your savior.  He came to die for you and save you from your sin.  What you do with Jesus determines your eternal destiny.  Please accept Him as your savior the season.  

Luke 1,2 -   Light is an important theme in the Christmas story.  The light that surrounded the angels, or the star that led the wise men were all part of the story.  Jesus came as the Light of the world and saved us so that we could be light to the world.  This season may you be a light in a very dark world so that people may see Christ in you.  Live this week as Children of light.

Luke 1,2 - If there were no Christmas, there would be nothing to celebrate.  Celebration is ingrained in the Christmas story.  All of creation celebrates the savior's birth from the lowly shepherds to the highest angels.  An unborn child celebrates and an old man Simeon and the elderly widow Anna bless this miraculous child.  Make this Christmas a season of celebration, because a Savior was b...

Number 21 - We come to the end of a life of a man who faithfully, humbly, and boldly served God.  His story ends with God-honoring a life that was lived for and with God.  The reality is that life will end for every one of us, and we will stand before God.  What happens at that moment is determined by what we have done with Jesus Christ.  Please make sure you are ready for the appointment you have...

John 6 - In a world that is faced with hardship and crisis, it is important that we focus on a heart of gratitude.  We cannot focus on our ability or resources.  We have to focus on Jesus and be grateful for the things He has already provided.  This week cultivate a heart of gratitude in spite of the circumstance or any crisis you face.  

Number 21 - Look and live.  The message to Israel thousands of years ago is the same message Jesus offers to everyone today.  Don't make it more complicated than Jesus did.  Make sure you have placed your faith and trust in Him alone.  For those of you that have, live like you have a different destiny and purpose for life.  Point others to the cross with the way you live your life each day. 

Number 20 - God's blessing requires that we do the right thing, the right way, at the right time.  While our actions may produce results, they only produce God's blessing when we do all 3 things equally.  Moses allowed sin to take root and grow in his life (over 40 years) without dealing with it.  Serve God honestly this week and deal with the things in your life that you know are not pl...

Number 13,14 - Israel does not get to experience what God has prepared for them because of their unbelief, fear, and focus on the past.  They were so focused on what they were afraid of, that they did not get to experience the life that God had prepared for them.  God honors the 2 men that honored Him.  Our challenge this week is to trust God and go forward into the life He wants us to live. 

Number 11 - Complaining and griping glamorize the past, distorts the present, and ignores the future.  This world and all it has is temporary.  We have to focus on a God who is working out a plan for His entire creation.  It is not about me, it is about His plan for my life.  This week serve Him in gratitude and be content with the manna He has given you. 

Number 9:15-23 - Israel learned to wait and focus on God.  They moved when God moved.  Life for Israel had an uncertain certainty.  They had to trust and stay close to God every day.  His presence was constantly evident in their life.  God is at work in your life today and will be all week.  It is your job to see, follow, and join Him in what He wants to do this week. 

Exodus 35-40 - God designed the Tabernacle to allow Him to be close to His people.  It was unique, beautiful, and center to the life of Israel.  We are the tabernacle of God designed for the same purposes.  This week as we live in the world, may we be unique, beautiful reflections of God's glory and care for His people.  Each of us has a role and all of us must do our part.  

Exodus 34 - Moses reflected the glory of God because he had spent time with God.  People noticed something remarkably different.  God has chosen to use Christ through us to show the glory of God to the world.  Difficult times and struggles allow the world to see God's glory as we respond in ways that show forth God's work in our lives.  Don't lose heart - God is at work using you fo...

Exodus 33 - God desires a relationship with us.  In order for us to experience all that involves, we must learn to trust and obey God.  Experiencing God comes as a result of daily following and obeying God's instruction for us.  While living according to His will, it will be impossible for us to not do His will and experience His working in our lives.  

Exodus 32 - This is a passage about choices.  Aaron listened to the crowd while the Levites choose to follow God.  Every choice you make has a consequence.  Good choices have good consequences, bad choices have bad consequences.  Choose wisely this week as you follow and honor God with your life.  

Exodus 32 - This passage is about choices.  Do we follow God or the crowd?  Aaron listened to the demands of the crowd and would pay a price for that.  Because Moses had been in fellowship with God, he saw the people and situation from an eternal perspective.  He sought God's glory, not his own agenda.  Moses decided to follow God with his whole heart.  We need to walk close to God this week...

Matthew 22:34-36- God establishes these 10 words or ideas as a foundation for how we should live in this world.  Jesus explains it in 2 simple ideas - Love God and Love people.  Our challenge is to love as Jesus loved and show the world a fearless life sourced in love.  Show that love to a lost world this week. 

Exodus 20:17 - Commandment 10 - Contentment - God provides our daily needs.  In order to live godly in this world, we must decide how much is enough.  Our focus determines our direction which ultimately determines our destiny.  God wants His people to learn contentment.  This week appreciate all God has provided because we are truly blessed to be in this country at this time.  

Exodus 20:16 - Commandment 9 - Truth - As Christians, we are to be people of truth.  We should walk in truth this week in our words and actions.  Sincerity, transparency, and integrity should be a part of our everyday life.  

Exodus 20:14 - Commandment 7  - Love - God reminds us that adultery - contaminated love is not part of His plan for our lives.  It is a poor substitute for life as God intended.  We can commit physical emotional, mental, or spiritual adultery by loving the wrong thing or person.  When we find our hearts wanting to go in this direction, we have to remember, repent, and return to the path that God h...

Exodus 20:15 - Commandment 8 - Generosity  God's world is a world of generosity.  His children are to be generous with their time, money, and resources because God was generous to them.  If we want the world to see Jesus, they must see generosity in our lives.  Don't steal this week, but more importantly be generous and allow people to see Jesus in you.  (We had a problem with the live f...

Exodus 20:13 - Commandment 6  - We are challenged to value people with the same value that God places on them.  People need to be honored, loved, and valued.  Strife, Anger, Hatred, Revenge, Envy, and Pride are ways that we show a murderous heart that has no place in the life of God's Children.  God has designed us to live in a way that values the people God has created, loved, and given His...
