God’s Sovereignty isn’t Limited to Those Who Know Him
John 19:33-37, ESV But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” And again another Scripture say
The Personal Touch of Jesus
Luke 4:40, ESV Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. Jesus laid hands on every one of them. Wow. What a beautiful picture of the God we serve. Jesus didn’t just speak healing over the crowd and send them away—which He very well could have done—He met each person individually. He touched each person individually. He spoke to each person ind
Our Fruit in Our Season
Our Fruit in Our Season Psalm 1:2-3, ESV but his [the blessed man] delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. When we delight in God—and in the Word of God—then we will produce fruit. Our fruit—in our season. One of the biggest ways to thwart our own fruit production is by wishing we we
Your Patmos is Producing Revelation
Revelation 1:9-10, ESV I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet Patmos. Desolate, small, and uninhabited—except for guards and other prisoners. It was hard. It was hot. It was lonely. And John was there through no fault of his o
Satan is a Liar
John 8:44b, ESV …[the devil] does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. I just felt like someone needed to be reminded of this today. Maybe you’re in a mental battle against our unseen foe and need to be reminded of this truth—Satan is a liar. It’s a truth of scripture just as true as everything else in God’s Word. Much of our battle as Christians is won or lost in
What We Lean on Might Come as a Surprise
Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Sometimes we don’t know what we’re leaning on until it’s kicked out from under us. Our understanding. A person. Money. Comfortability. Health. Position. And on and on and on. And sometimes we don’t know what we’re leaning on until God asks us to give it up—like the rich young man we talked about last week. So,
