John 13:14

One of the last acts Jesus performed on the earth was to wash the feet of His disciples. In a display of great love, grace, and humility, the Lord took a basin of water and wiped away their filth. And just like the unmerited favor He showed His followers, Jesus wants us to show each other. We too need to grab our basins and wash the feet of others in that same humility, grace, and love. How? By sharing with them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For the Word of the Lord washes away every sin, leaving us clean and declared righteous.

Words Of Comfort – 1 Thessalonians 4

1 Thessalonians 4

Throughout history there have been failed predictions about the end of the age and the return of Jesus. Dates set which are meant to conjure fear and panic in the heart of Christians everywhere. But when the apostle Paul speaks of death and the Rapture, his words are used for comfort and hope. …

John 10:17

When Jesus died on the Cross, His enemies thought they had won. But instead, the victory is Christ’s alone. For our Savior willingly laid down His life to pay the sin debt we owe and to offer us the gift of eternal life. Fully God and fully man, the Lord had all power and authority at His command. Yet in His awesome love for both us and the Father, Jesus died and remained in the grave for three days before His glorious resurrection! Now the sting of death is gone, scripture is fulfilled, and Jesus is once again at His rightful place at he right hand of God as our great Intercessor!

God forgives And Forgets – Hebrews 7-8

Hebrews 7-8

At its very heart, the message of the gospel is forgiveness. We are all born into sin and enemies of God. Yet because of His unequaled love for us, from the beginning the Lord provided the way to forgiveness. First with the old covenant of blood sacrifices, to the most wonderful new covenant with the sacrifice of Jesus. …

John 14:21

One of the most wonderful qualities of God is love. And it was out of this great devotion that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to offer us eternal life. Now that in itself is an indescribable gift of love. But the great God we serve offers even more. For to those who receive Jesus as their Savior, God presents the opportunity to enjoy with Him an intimate, loving, personal relationship. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and our obedience to His commands, the Lord reveals Himself in intimate ways that an unbelieving world could never experience!

John 21:25

I love reading biographies and learning about people’s lives. And the greatest biography there is, is the life of Jesus Christ. Although Jesus only walked the earth for three years, the things He accomplished, the words He said, and the wonders He performed, are vast. So it’s no wonder John says it’s impossible to contain all the majesty, splendor, and love of Jesus and His works in just four books of the Bible. Yet in His love and grace, God made sure that what is written about Christ is just enough, “so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)

John 10:10

Jesus is our good Shepherd.  And as such, He cares, protects, and defends His flock from all who seek to destroy it. And one of the greatest dangers we face is from false teachers. These workers of Satan seek to take the Word of God and twist it to fit their diabolical meaning. They love nothing better than to see Jesus’ flock confused, scattered, and vulnerable. But when we cling to Christ, not only are we safe from the wolves, our great Shepherd gives us life abundant. A life filled with joy, peace and love, and one greater than we could ever imagine!

April 1st – John 3:16

John 3:16

Once we were dead in our sins and eternally separated from God. But our Father in heaven, in His great love, wanted to be reconciled to His children. And so He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to become our perfect sin sacrifice. Now, through the blood of our Lord, we can once again be welcomed back into God’s open and loving arms. Never again will we be apart from His love, mercy, and blessings. And greatest of all, when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we are promised an eternity spend by His side!

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit of a fashionista. I love looking through magazines and seeing the latest styles. Although each of us has our own personal tastes, I think we can all agree that we want to look good. And what we wear can also impact how we feel. Whether it be a comfy pair of sweatpants or a brand new outfit, when we love what we’re wearing it shows. And in this chapter of Colossians Paul becomes our personal stylist, providing us with the perfect Christian clothes. …

Galatians 5:13-26

In the world we live today, wealth is celebrated above all else. Our televisions, magazines, and internet are all inundated with images and stories of the rich and famous. It’s no wonder that when we see their seemingly perfect lives posted all over social media, we feel the twinge of jealousy, wanting what they have.  …
