God calls us out of our life of sin and into a life of discipleship to Jesus. The word “disciple” means to be a disciplined follower of Christ who lives like Christ lived and makes disciples as Christ commands. The faith journey of Saul/Paul in the book of Acts demonstrates the journey that all disciples of Christ experience in their growth in discipleship.

A strong beginning does not guarantee a faithful finish. Samson was physically strong but morally weak, and his unchecked desires led to his downfall. Though he was called and gifted by God, he failed to live up to that calling because his heart drifted from God. Samson’s story reminds us that a person can be chosen, gifted, and even used by God, yet still live disconnected from Him. If we’re not...

The story of Gideon is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t look for the strongest or the most qualified – He looks for the willing. Gideon’s journey began with a private act of obedience: tearing down his family’s altar to Baal. As he stepped out in faith, God empowered him to lead. This process includes stripping away his earthly security by thinning his army down from thousands to just 300 men....

God empowers those who are willing to hear and obey His Word to accomplish great things. In Judges 4, He used unlikely people like Deborah, Barak, and Jael to bring victory to His people in a time of oppression. Deborah’s courage came from trusting what God had said, and Barak experienced victory as he stepped out in obedience. As we listen to God, trust that He goes before us, and take the next s...

The cycle of life often follows this pattern: Sin in our lives leads to oppression, where we suffer the consequences of our sin. Oppressed people then cry out to God in repentance, and God graciously and faithfully brings deliverance, peace, and God’s blessing once again. After deliverance, we all too often forget the Lord, and the cycle of sin tragically continues. This is the story of ancient Is...

We were made to live in intimate relationships with God and one another. Therefore, the ultimate source of relational unity comes through our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we walk closely with Christ, we can walk more closely with one another. Christ is also our example of living in relational unity through selfless living. The Apostle Paul described how this kind of unity is possible when...

The health of our relationships is deeply shaped by the words we speak. Our words have the power to either build or break the relationship. Our speech is more than what we say–it reveals what our hearts are full of. A change in words begins with a changed heart. As God’s Word takes root in us and the Holy Spirit transforms us, He teaches us to speak in ways that bring life, healing, and encouragem...

One of the greatest barriers to healthy relationships is unforgiveness. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a feeling or a transaction based on someone else’s apology. However, Jesus reveals to us that forgiveness is a response to the mercy we have already received from God. Forgiveness isimmediate and unconditional, even when the other person does not apologize or change. Because we have been f...

God intended that our relationships would be a source of great joy and blessing. Unfortunately, because of sin, our relationships are often the source of our greatest pain. All of us have experienced wounds from relationships. In order to avoid being hurt again, we often hide our true selves and cope with our pain in unhealthy ways, which only deepens our wounds. If we don’t let God heal us, we wi...
