The Bible tells us that God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong. Many people feel like they are disqualified from being used powerfully by The Lord. Sometimes this is because of the family they come from, or the age they are, or what they lack in ability. However, in the work of God’s Kingdom, it’s often the “nobodies” that are chosen for the mighty things....

Satan posed the question to Eve, “Has God said?”. He is still posing this question to mankind today in an effort to undermine the truth and bring about destruction. Society will tell us to do what we want, have what we want, and be what we want. But has God really said this? Or is another voice tempting our fallible heart? GENESIS 3:1-6 1 JOHN 2:15-17 1 SAMUEL 24:1-6 1 JOHN 2:16 2 SAMUEL 11:2-5 1...

When Daniel enters the banquet hall to give the interpretation of the writing on the wall, he first reminds the king of the time his ancestor Nebuchadnezzar contended with The Lord. Like many people today, Belshazzar knew that God is able to humble those who walk in pride, yet he persisted in his open rebellion. Daniel reveals to the king that the message on the walk was no longer a warning, but a...

After all else failed, Daniel was called in to interpret the handwriting on the wall. He had been long known as a man of wisdom and insight in whom was an extraordinary spirit. We are often summoned for what is found in us. Many are summoned to partake in sin. Others are summoned for their reputation of righteousness. What is found in you? DANIEL 5:10-12 DANIEL 1:8 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18 DANIEL 5:1...

When King Belshazzar held a great party for his nobles, it was a sinful display of wanton pleasure and fleshly indulgence. When he brought out the vessels of worship for a gesture of mockery, The Lord caused a mysterious hand to appear and write a cryptic message on the wall. All the magicians, conjurers and diviners could not interpret the message. While they await the interpretation of the writi...

When Jesus had revealed the cost Peter would pay for following Him, Peter noticed another disciple also coming to follow. Peter immediately asked Jesus, “What about this man?”. Many times we tie our obedience to The Lord to what will or won’t happen to others. We ought to heed to the same response Jesus gave to Peter when He said, “What is that to you? You follow Me.” The circumstances of other pe...

Jesus came on to a very complicated religious scene and started teaching against the Pharisees. How would they respond and what was the message the Christ had for them and in turn us? Matthew 11:28-30 Mathew 22:34-40 John 8:1-11 Luke 18:9-14 1 Timothy 1:12-14 Galatians 3:27-28

I. An Oracle for People Past God's Patience v 1 II. The Goodness of God's Jealousy vv 2-7 III. The Danger of God's Jealousy vv 8-14 IV. The Hope in God's Jealousy v 15 Luke 24:44 1 Corinthians 10:11 Deuteronomy 29:18-20 1 Corinthians 10:22 James 4:5

After having denied Jesus 3 times, The Lord returns to Peter to graciously recommission him. Jesus examines the motive of Peter’s faithfulness when He asks him, “Do you love Me?”. Three times in subtly different ways, Jesus calls Peter to care for the flock of God. Those who truly love Him, will walk in faithfulness. Those with other motives for serving are always revealed. What is your motive in...

Jesus had called His disciples to abandon the pursuits of the world and commit to His mission. However, after the resurrection we find several of them going back to their old way of life. When they haul in empty nets, Jesus comes to them to remind them that He is their ultimate provider. Peter then jumps in the water to go to Jesus. Many lives are as hollow and empty as those nets because people h...

When Jesus had risen from the dead, some doubted the authenticity of the resurrection. Knowing of the Thomas’s skepticism, Jesus appeared to him, showing the scars on his hands and feet and side. Many times, we battle with doubt and discouragement. However, in His Grace, The Lord is able to meet us in our doubt and bring help, clarity and blessing. JOHN 20:24-31 JOHN 11:16 JOHN 20:25-27 MATTHEW 14...

I remember having questions like • Is there actually only one God? • Is Jesus really the only way to salvation? • Is Bible really God’s Word? Sometimes I would even waver in my faith, wondering if any of this religious stuff was true. But I say “remember” intentionally because I no longer wonder these questions. “Why,” you ask? Because the Word of God has answered them.   Every day we face temptat...

When Jesus appeared to the apostles after His resurrection, He commissioned them to accomplish the mission of the gospel. He promised they would be sent forth in the power of The Holy Spirit. He also told them that they would forgive and retain sins of people. All of this would be accomplished primarily through the preaching of the true gospel and continues to this day. Are you on this mission ope...

Mary Magdalene was the first person to find the empty tomb. She was the first person to whom Jesus appeared and she was the first person to announce to the apostles that Jesus had risen from the dead. Her words appeared to them as nonsense. Perhaps in part because she was a formerly demon possessed woman in a culture that had little regard for women. Jesus continues to choose the weak, base and de...

Once Jesus was buried in the tomb, great efforts were made to ensure it’s security. Many of those who had rejected Him feared the disciples would steal the body in order to fake His resurrection. However, inspite of the added security, an angel from Heaven descended amid a great earthquake and rolled the stone away. Upon immediate investigation, all who were at the tomb that day found it to be emp...

All people accept or reject Jesus in the face of fulfilled prophecy. At the crucifixion and burial, Jesus fulfilled prophecy when His legs were not broken, His side was pierced, and Joseph of Arimathea took His body to the grave. All people will be accountable before Him one day. Will you stand before Him as your prophesied Savior or Judge? JOHN 19:31-37 JOHN 19:30 JOHN 10:18 JOHN 19:34 JOHN 19:38...

Disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. Many believe that the word “Christian” is a label to describe an ideology or set of beliefs similar to a political label. Others believe “Christian” is in reference to a culture or upbringing that has shaped a person’s life and experience. However, the only real Christians are those who have been miraculously transformed by a work of the Holy Spir...

The first time Jesus came, He arrived in obscurity in a small town, born in a manger. The next time He comes, the sky will split like a scroll and He will be revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. He is no longer a carpenter but King. Are you ready to meet Him? All will face Him as Judge or Savior. LUKE 2:1-7 LUKE 2:8-16 ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE: REVELATION 19:11-15 REVELATION 1:...

At the cross, Jesus uttered His final declaration when He said, “It is finished.” When He died, He finished the wrath of God for all who will believe. He finished the separation between God and man created by sin. He finished the power of death and furnished evidence of the resurrection to come by raising dead saints to life at the time of His death and resurrection. All people will respond to his...
