Acknowledging who Jesus is isn’t enough, you must also accept why He came and adopt His mission for your life.

To make a real difference for God’s Kingdom, deepen your love for Him first.

The good news that Christ bore our judgment on the cross should cause us to take sin seriously, turn from it, and trust that Jesus absorbed the wrath we deserve and gives us His righteousness.

In a world flooded with dangerous and deceptive teaching, we must continue maturing in our faith or risk being swept away by error.

We must reject the temptation to demand more signs from God and place our confidence in the ultimate sign He has already provided in the death and resurrection of Christ.

Let Christ’s global compassion drive your gospel engagement.

Jesus’ compassion toward the Gentiles reminds us that our mission is to call all people, even those we define as unreachable, to glorify the God of Israel.

Knowing that kindness is a byproduct of our faith should cause us to carefully define biblical kindness so we can commit to practicing it daily.

However firm Jesus’ message may seem to us, we must willingly humble ourselves, recognizing that He is gracious and ready to accept us on His terms.

Because God sees beyond external behavioral modification, we must go beyond surface-level change and trust the purifying work of Christ to cleanse us from the inside out.

If you want to live a holy life, you can’t rely on outward performance or human traditions; instead, you must rely on God to transform you from the inside out.

Being unworthy recipients of Christ’s compassion should cause us to get serious about extending compassion to others by bringing them to Jesus!

Recognizing the extent of Jesus’ divine authority should embolden us to exhibit great courage in every circumstance while prompting us to worship Him as the great I AM!

Trust in Christ's supreme authority, knowing He graciously extends His compassionate care – from your deepest spiritual needs to your daily provisions.

Standing firm against worldly opposition may cost us greatly in this life, but as Christ’s representatives, we are expected to boldly call people to repentance, regardless of the consequences.

Reminding ourselves of God’s immense patience toward us should counteract any impulse to be impatient toward God or others.

Jesus is returning in a vastly different manner than He did the first time, and this reality should compel us to acquaint ourselves with the identity of the coming King of Kings.
