#1,138: Lay Down Your Worldly Passions

Dec 12 2024 5 mins  
In the book of Galatians, Paul corrects some erroneous teachings and practices among the believers there. These Christians had been deceived and had come to believe they had to keep and obey the Law of Moses to be saved and in right relationship with Christ.Main Points:1. Christ was the fulfillment of the law when he died for us on the cross. Our salvation is not based on law-keepi

#1,137: Creation Reveals the Glory of God

Dec 11 2024 5 mins  
God has given everyone a general revelation of himself by displaying the beauty and power of creation. Though some reject this truth, it is obvious in the heart and mind of man that there is a God.Main Points:1. As we look around at our world, we see the clues God has left. When you stand at the Grand Canyon, you can’t help but be overwhelmed at the mighty power of God to create

#1,136: God Knows Everything About You

Dec 10 2024 5 mins  
Let this truth encourage you today. God knows you. He sees you. On this planet of almost eight billion people, God knows you. He loves you. He has a purpose for you.Main Points:1. While we often limit the extent of what we share with others, there is one who knows it all. God sees and knows all things. God has intimate knowledge about your life.2. I suppose that for some this is a

#1,135: Confidence in God's Power to Heal the Sick

Dec 06 2024 5 mins  
Divine healing is a gift of God’s grace for all. Just as salvation comes to us by God’s grace, healing does as well. We do not deserve it and cannot earn it. In the NT people did not view healing as a right, but as an act of God’s grace. We are in no position to demand God to give us healing.Main Points:1. In the church today there is a lot of false teaching about healing. Wh

#1,134: God Uses our Weakness for His Purpose

Dec 05 2024 5 mins  
God uses our weakness for his purpose. It’s in our weakness that the power of God shines through our lives. It’s in our deficits that we discover God’s strength and power.Main Points:1. We sometimes disqualify ourselves from being used by God because we don’t think we are strong enough, smart enough, or capable enough. Yet, being used by God is not about any of those things

#1,133: Do We Know When Jesus Will Come Back?

Dec 04 2024 5 mins  
As we read the Bible, it is very clear, Jesus is coming back. While many scoff and disbelieve, it doesn’t change the truth of what Jesus has said. We don’t know when He is coming, but we do know He is coming soon. Main Points:1. We live in a world today that scoffs at the idea of Jesus returning. Their cynicism fulfills the prophecy scripture gave concerning the end times. 2. I

#1,132: Are you Walking in Harmony with God?

Dec 03 2024 5 mins  
My heart does not naturally follow after God. It does not naturally seek after Him. With intentionality, I must get back in tune with God. Main Points:1. We can ask, “Are my words out of tune with the Spirit of God? Have my words been negative, critical, crass, or even vulgar? Have my words been filled with complaint, gossip, criticism, or profanity?" We can tune our hearts and o

#1,131: For Those who Feel Hopeless

Dec 02 2024 5 mins  
Remember this: our hope in God isn't just a wish or a dream, but sure confidence that what God says will happen. Every other hope will disappoint. Every other hope will come up short. God is the one who never fails, he never leaves us, and he never forsakes us.Main Points:1. Today, I ask you to let the Word of God penetrate the dark place in your soul. Let the light of God’s trut

#1,130: Where To Go When You Are In a Storm

Nov 29 2024 5 mins  
If storms are inevitable, unpredictable, and impartial, then the issue really becomes “what is my response going to be to the storms that are inevitably going to happen in my life?” Where will you turn? Where will you go? What will you do?Main Points:1. We can turn to Jesus in the midst of our storm. He is there. He is available. He cares. Don’t ride out the rough seas withou

#1,129: The Fear of Man

Nov 28 2024 5 mins  
There is a very common type of fear identified in the Bible that is not talked about much. It is the fear of man. It’s a fear of people and it can include intimidation, peer pressure, social anxiety, isolation, and insecurity. The fear of man can lead us to make choices that aren’t right for us or avoid making decisions at all. Main Points:1. When we are filled with the fear of
