In the Life of Christ There is something unforgettable about walking into Levi’s house with Jesus. I can almost hear the conversations, the laughter, and the curiosity filling the room. Tax collectors sat beside tradesmen, neighbors mingled with those society preferred to avoid, and at the center of it all sat Jesus. To the religiousContinue reading “The Guest List That Changed the World”

Walking in the Light of God’s Character
The Bible in a Year One of the greatest blessings of reading through the Bible in a year is discovering not only what God has done but who God is. Every page gradually reveals His character, and Psalm 84:11 gathers that revelation into one remarkable promise: “For the Lord God is a sun and shield;Continue reading “Walking in the Light of God’s Character”
Walking in the One Who Is Truth
DID YOU KNOW Did You Know? Truth is not merely something you learn—it is Someone you follow. When the apostle John wrote to the “elect lady,” one word echoed throughout his short letter: truth. His concern was not simply that believers possess accurate information, but that they remain deeply connected to Jesus Christ. In JohnContinue reading “Walking in the One Who Is Truth”
The Voice That Leads Me Home
In the Life of Christ One of the most comforting images Jesus ever gave His followers is that of the shepherd and his sheep. In John 10:1–18, 27–28, Jesus does not merely describe Himself as a shepherd among many; He declares that He is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep personally, calls them byContinue reading “The Voice That Leads Me Home”
The Long Road of Faithful Obedience
The Bible in a Year “The woman arose and did after the saying of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.” (2 Kings 8:2) As we journey through the Scriptures, we often encounter heroes of faith whose names are not celebrated asContinue reading “The Long Road of Faithful Obedience”
The Work That Begins with Trust
In the Life of Christ Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29 As I walk with the crowd in John 6, I can almost hear the urgency in their question: “What must we do to perform the works of God?” They had seen JesusContinue reading “The Work That Begins with Trust”
WHEN FAITH BREAKS THROUGH THE ROOF
In the Life of Christ There is something deeply moving about the moment Jesus looked upward through a broken roof and saw desperate men lowering their friend into the room. Mark 2:5 says, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” I often pauseContinue reading “WHEN FAITH BREAKS THROUGH THE ROOF”
WHO IS YOUR EXAMPLE?
As the Day Begins The Quiet Witness That Still Changes the World “Be thou an example…in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” — 1 Timothy 4:12 There is something deeply revealing about the people we choose to imitate. In every generation, culture places certain individuals on elevated platforms andContinue reading “WHO IS YOUR EXAMPLE?”
Carrying the Cross Before Breakfast
As the Day Begins “The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.” — Matthew 10:24 When we come to Christ, we often celebrate His promises of forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. Yet Jesus never hid the reality that following Him would also mean sharing in His rejection. The Christian lifeContinue reading “Carrying the Cross Before Breakfast”
When Sin Takes More Than It Gives
The Bible in a Year “Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusionContinue reading “When Sin Takes More Than It Gives”
