1 Kings 18:20-19:21 Today, we often find ourselves feeling weak and defeated—far from our potential assoldiers and servants of God.

Acts 4:1-31 I don’t know for sure how much time passes between Acts 2 and Acts 4. It could have been a few days, or a few weeks. But while Acts 2 appears to show a church widely accepted by the community, Acts 4 begins to show the resistance by the ancient Jewish power center. Culminating in the priests, the Sadducees, and…
Matthew 11:16-17; Matthew 12:10-13 What lessons can we learn from how the Jewish people responded to Jesus and John? How should we react to those in need at inopportune times?
Matthew 7:15-27 Who’s responsible for my soul? What’s the context that brings us to Jesus’ famous closing story of the Sermon on the Mount?

In PV 23-24, Solomon records some important advice for his son—30 statements we’ve been reviewing over the last 5 weeks. Today, as we come to the end of these wise statements, we see that Solomon focuses on something new:…
Luke 13:1-9 In Luke 13, the crowd came to Jesus seeking His input on a tragedy: the murder of Galileans by the hand of Pilate. Perhaps they hoped He’d lay the blame at the spilled blood at the feet of Pilate. Perhaps they hoped He’d provide clarity of what sin had made these people deserving of their fate. Either way, they, like…
