19  Therefore, brothers,[ c ] since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,  20  by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,  21  and since we have a great priest over the house of God,  22  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bo...

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He w...

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prune so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless y...

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “L...

Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory ...

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep kn...

I am who I am.         Exodus 3:14  I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.            John 8:12 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.           John 9:5 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died!  Who do you make yourself out to be?        John 8:53 Your father Abraham rejoiced...

“I am the bread of life.”     John 6:35a   When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.         John 6:5-6   When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus answered,...

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.           Romans 8:26-27   We have weaknesses   In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our...

Is there hope for my loved one who has walked away from God?   I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.          1 Corinthians 9:27   Remember: NOTHING is impossible for GOD   I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has c...

Where can I get meat for all these people?  They keep wailing at me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ I cannot carry all of these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.              Numbers 11:13-14   “If this is how you are going to treat me, put me to death right now” … The Lord said to Moses, “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders … and I will take the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on...

God is Sovereign No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent me draws him. John 6:44 For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified. Romans 8:29-30 Even as H...

Pain, suffering and trials exist because sin exists   Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image.”         Genesis 1:26   And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.        Genesis 1:31   “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”     ...

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.           Romans 12:1 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.          R...

Just say no to the world because you are a son or daughter of the Father Just say no to the world because it is cheap and unsatisfying Just say no to the world because it is passing away

In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!” 22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done...

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.           1 Corinthians 10:13  The Promise: You don’t have give into sin because God will give you a way out.    Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you...

God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”      Hebrews 13:5b Build Your Life On This Truth: No Matter What God Won’t Abandon Me I do believe; help my unbelief.      Mark 9:24   And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.         Matthew 28:20   After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my ser...

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming a...

But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some pe...
