The Bible For Busy People

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to belly flop off the diving board and go all the way down to the bottom of the pool, touch the bottom and come back up. That's our plan this week, too. We're going to dive down into the deep end of God's Word and come back up... with our hands raised up in victory. Let's get started!

The rest of this week, you and I are going to study running the race that God calls us to. Listen, I'm not a runner. I'm 100% a walker, but when it comes to this one race, the one that God has set before us, He calls each of us to be a runner. Why does God want us to run? Well, we're going to find out today, starting in Hebrews. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3ynswG3 ---------------- We’d love to enco...

Today is a one day walking tour on the topic of shadows. God says that He is the shade at our right hand. He is right beside you and He wants you to know that today, whatever you are going through. He is with you, closely shadowing you, enveloping you in His presence, never leaving you alone.

Today we're going to talk about how the Lord wants to give you and I a place to take shelter when the waves of life rise up, when we're soaked to the skin spiritually and we can't take it anymore. When it rains, it pours right? Our gracious and loving Heavenly Father is there with the warm towels of His love, with the shelter of His peace and His presence.

Thank you for creating a space for God. He will fill that space with something meaningful. Every single time you open your heart, you open your schedule to Him.

Joy is happiness that doesn't depend on what is happening. The Bible says, The joy of the Lord is your strength, and it's where we camp out here every Friday on the Bible for Busy People. Normally, we'd be doing Joy Bombs in the Psalms, but today we're going to do things a little differently. We're finishing this week with one more day of John the Baptist, an amazing and inspirational man of God. ...

It's such a pleasure to do this deep dive into season four of The Chosen. John the Baptist was the one that the God of the universe tapped to say, I want you to be the one to tell everybody hope is coming. John the Baptist was really the second one to share it because the angels that night in Bethlehem... they were probably the first. God taps us too, to share Jesus with others. What an honor! Sho...

We're studying the life of a man who is known as the Baptizer, John the Baptist. But before we go on, maybe you're like, what is baptism?  Well, it's symbolic of how Jesus washes away your sins and makes you clean. When you express your faith in him, when you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus died for you and rose again for you, then the next step is baptism. Take a list...

If you could do a TED Talk on any topic, what would you pick? I think I'd do one on The Chosen one of my favorite TV shows. If you haven't seen it yet, you will be drawn in hook, line and sinker and that's a good thing. The Chosen has drawn me even closer to Jesus, and I hope the Bible for Busy People series covering The Chosen will help do the same for you. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4f08X78 ----...

If you want to be like Jesus, that means you want to be like a fish out of water, because Jesus is truly the King of an upside down kingdom. He says that the first will be last and the last will be first. We're going to get into that today, and we're going to get into what it looks like to be a real servant of others. We're going to study the Son of God as He gives us an incredible example of what...
