Psalm 79:9 "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for your name's sake." When Asaph cried out to God for forgiveness, he knew God would respond. Why? For His name’s sake. Meaning God’s character and reputation are all deeply connected with His… Continue reading June 30th – Psalm 79:9

February 8th – 1 Peter 4:8
1 Peter 4:8 The one thing Peter wanted Christians to know above all else, was the importance of loving one another. Not because loving others earns God’s forgiveness.

Hebrews 2:9 John 3:16 tells us that God loves us so much, He sent His only Son to pay the sin debt we owe. A love perfectly exampled through the humility of that sent Son, Jesus Christ.

Going From Glory To Glory – (2 Corinthians 3)
2 Corinthians 3 One of my heroes in the Bible has always been Paul. He is the perfect example of how no one is beyond God’s reach. Previously known as Saul of Tarsus, he was a respected and highly educated Pharisee, who not believing Jesus to be God, saw Christians as blasphemers deserving of persecution… Continue reading Going From Glory To Glory – (2 Corinthians 3)
December 17th – John 1:14
John 1:14 Could you imagine being John? The disciple fellowshipped, lived, worked, and worshipped with our Lord. John watched how every step Jesus made, and every word He said was an example of God’s truth, grace, and glory. The evidence was clear that Christ wasn’t just His Teacher and Friend, but truly God’s only begotten… Continue reading December 17th – John 1:14
