Christ follower desiring others to find Him in their own lives. What unity there would be if we all would live out His love.
I hope you are ready to wrestle some more. You could say this blog is Part Two from last Tuesday’s blog. We discovered that there is purpose in the waiting. God places us in times of wondering so we will look up and as we do we become familiar with who He is. We seek … More In The Waiting, Part 2
Read today’s scripture, John 4:1-42. We will study the conversation between Jesus and a woman. In verse 4, it says, “He had to go through…” Jesus chose that route so He can have opportunities to reach outcasts, those who felt despised. Hmmm, do you feel this way? If Jesus sought out misfits in His day, … More Thirst No More
Psalm 27:14 says, “Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.” I have a feeling I don’t have to ask you if you find waiting to be difficult. It is more than difficult, it is excruciating! Amidst the waiting, God leads us. He promises us that He hears … More Wrestling In The Waiting
Today we are going to see the beauty of Christ. Read John 3:22-36. Jesus and His disciples left Jerusalem and went to the Judean countryside and were baptizing people. At the same time, John the Baptist was baptizing people at another location. We see two groups of believers overlapping one another; Old Testament believers and … More The Beauty of Christ
Living by our five senses can hinder our walk with God. The very things that God created within us can be barriers to walking with Him. Our sight get focused, our hearing tuned in, we touch, smell and taste things that tantalize us. We are made for God and we are to live where He … More Be The One
We are going to see how Jesus interacts with man. How he talks with Nicodemus back in the day is the same way He interacts with us today. Go ahead and read John 3:1:21. Be encouraged with this. Pay attention to how Jesus treats him. You could say they are sharing an espresso together while … More Coffee Time With Jesus
God loves His people to the point of risking Himself. Ponder this. With what you know about God and His love, does this makes sense? Whether you know little or much, understanding the risk that God took will be a game changer in your faith! In a few weeks, we will be going into the … More A Risky Love
Today’s lesson is John 2:13-25. I am going to have you read it out of order. It will help to make sense of the context. Go ahead and read verses 23-25 first. We will look at these three verses first, then go back to verses 13-22. We see how Jesus prepares His disciples for what … More It’s Trash Day!
Last week in Bible study we attended a wedding. When Jesus is in the midst, great things happen! He revealed His first miracle, changing very dirty water into wine. To take what is unusable and turn it into something beneficial and fruitful. Isn’t He like that, to reveal how His love is transforming. Jesus chose … More One Size Fits All
We are going to a wedding today! This is a special wedding. You come as you are. There is no need to adorn yourself with pretty clothes, make-up and bouffant hair. This wedding is a ceremony where you come dirty, disheveled, messed up, insecure, scared, broken YET you leave clean, content, secure and whole. You … More I Am Transformed!
