There is a spiritual battle in your life. Satan wants to destroy what you are doing for the Lord. He continues to use the same tactics today as he did in the Bible. He wants to blind people to prevent the advancement of the Gospel. Satan doesn’t want yo

The early church can model so many great principals to us today. The church in Antioch met in homes not in church buildings. This opens up the possibilities for people who resist going to church. They had an establish system of mentorship to develop leade

How do we discern between a test from God and a hindrance from the enemy? Paul had to figure out if the enemy was stopping them from preaching the Word or if it was God changing their plans. Paul does everything he can to further the Gospel.

Paul wants to revisit the churches that were planted on his first mission trip. Unfortunately, he and Barnabas get into a heated argument over John Mark and go their separate ways. How should Christians disagree? What does Paul have to tell us in this sto

Have you ever faced a challenge and thought to yourself, “there’s no way I can do this?” Most of us have. When God gives us a task to accomplish it is often bigger than we can handle on our own. In doing this, God teaches us to rely on Him to get it

When things are going well for us, we can forget to whom the glory belongs. We like to think our success is something that we alone have done. It is something that we have created, however, without God none of our success would be possible. Everything we

How do we tell if changes are just outward actions or a true change of the heart? Institutions that focus on religious rules instead of the spiritual tend to judge actions instead the heart. We might not always be able to tell, but God knows. It is the ma

We all mess up at times and we may try to look better from the outside than we are on the inside. Jesus used the fig tree and the clearing of the temple as lessons on how important it is to have authentic faith lived out. Our actions should match our hear

God can use our struggles to help us trust Him more. Our struggles train and prepare us for bigger tasks that God has for us. Just because we agree to something God asks us to do, doesn’t ensure that will be problem free. Mary agreed to God's request to

Did Mary fully realize the consequences of what she was saying yes to? Just because we say yes to God doesn’t mean that it is easy. Doubts and fears are common when God asks you to leave your comfort zone. God will ask you to do hard things in your life

Some may come to Christ ashamed with zero confidence. We are all unworthy of His grace, yet, He offers it anyway. Christ will accept anyone who asks for Him. Peter didn't deserve Christ's blessing after denying Him three times. Even so, Jesus rose from th

God had reached His limit with Belshazzar’s attitude and actions. Even with this, God worked through Daniel to speak to the king and the nation. God can work even when people reject Him.

There will be spiritual battles during the time of “already but not yet” and God has given us tools to use.

Jesus tells how the kingdom has already come but will also come again. He appears to be speaking in riddles at the time. It is only in hindsight that the disciples understand what He means. We are essentially hanging out at the intersection of heaven and

Jesus quotes the prophecies of Isaiah to demonstrate his mission on earth. This did not match the type of Messiah the people were looking for.
Nov 6, 2016 8:26 AM America/Chicago
Messiah is predicted, but theologians of the time do not realize that Messiah will come twice. They assume that God will work in a straight forward way and that Messiah will end “this present evil age” and usher in the “age to come.” They also bel
