Let Them - Ruth 1-2

Ruth gave up everything she had to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi and a God she barely knew. She had to let others judge her, let a new land become her home and let God become her spiritual Father amidst the fearful unknown, in order for her life to be transformed by God's lovingkindness. What is God asking you to give up? Like Ruth, let us "let them."

Equipped - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Just like with sports, careers, parenting or anything else that requires training and preparation, we are all at different stages in our journey. Whatever stage we are in, we need to commit to doing the things that prepare us to be God's image bearers so others may come to know Him.

Power To Deliver - Acts 12:1-18

Peter's prison breakout was nothing less than miraculous! While being chained and heavily guarded, the church was earnestly praying for his freedom. God sent an angel to the rescue. Even when we don't believe the answer to our own prayers, we can know with certainty, that God is more powerful than any earthly king and His kingdom is greater than any earthly kingdom. He will always accomplish His plan.

The Missionary Church In Antioch - Acts 11:19-30

This chapter describes the growth of the church in Antioch, the first place believers are called Christians. Barnabas (the son of encouragement) was sent by the Jerusalem church to Antioch to oversee this new growth and brings Saul with him. They were a powerful team that God used to bring the Word and encourage the believers to remain faithful in spreading the Gospel. May we be just as faithful and committed to sharing the Gospel.

From Death To Life - Acts 20:7-12

The importance of recognizing the dangers of falling asleep spiritually, which can eventually lead to spiritual death. And the importance of knowing that God can and wants to resurrect us. He desires to bring us back into a life of vibrancy and purpose that is only found in our relationship with Him.

Staying Out Of God's Way - Acts 11:1-18

The Apostle Peter has learned that God does not show favoritism, that grace cannot coexist with prejudice.  The Gospel is for everyone. We are to see one another as God sees us, with eyes of grace.

The Man On The Middle Cross - Luke 24:1-8, John 20:19-20

The Resurrection was not just a historical event that happened centuries ago. It is an ongoing reality and an everlasting truth that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, death has been defeated, hope has risen and love has triumphed forever.

The Suffering and Crucifixion of Jesus

It's hard to comprehend all that Jesus endured on the cross. We cannot begin to fathom the torture and suffering He went through. We should forever appreciate and never lose sight of what Jesus was willing to do on behalf of all humankind. He became the ultimate sacrifice, so that we could live forever. "It Is Finished!"

The King Is Here - Mark 11:1-11

The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, is a pivotal event which fulfills an Old Testament prophecy spoken by the prophet Zechariah. His prophecy foretells of a coming King, riding on a donkey, marking Jesus' final days before His crucifixion. Jesus riding into Jerusalem shows us that the King of Glory humbled Himself and became a servant King so that we might live with Him forever.

God Shows Favor Not Favoritism - Acts 10:23-48

In this portion of Acts 10 the walls of prejudice have started to come down between Jews and Gentiles. We see Peter entering the house of Cornelius bringing the message of Jesus to him and his family.  It's a beautiful picture of God's grace that reveals He is no respecter of persons. His love and mercy is toward all humankind.
