Matthew 18:22 “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Our spiritual journey is an ongoing commitment to growth and change, so too is the act of forgiveness. Just like the limitless mercy of God who endlessly forgives us, our forgiveness for others should know no bounds. Because in God’s eyes, forgiveness… Continue reading June 5th – Matthew 18:22

May 24th – Romans 12:1
Romans 12:1 Paul loved Jesus deeply. And that love compelled the apostle to dedicate his life to serving God. So Paul became a living sacrifice. And he calls us to do the same. But what does that involve? Becoming a living sacrifice means surrendering our entire being, body, mind, and spirit to God. And it… Continue reading May 24th – Romans 12:1
May 23rd – Matthew 9:9
Matthew 9:9 One day as Levi was at His tax booth in the city, a man came up to him and said, “Follow Me!” Without a second thought Levi got up, walked out, and immediately began following the man. In a single moment, Levi chose to leave everything behind. He gave up his wealth, influence,… Continue reading May 23rd – Matthew 9:9
May 4th – Job 42:10
Job 42:10 The phrase, don’t judge a book by its cover doesn’t just apply to people, but also situations. When Job’s friends saw his misfortune they were sure he deserved it. They assumed, incorrectly, that Job was suffering because he had sinned against God. How many times as Christians do we do the same? How… Continue reading May 4th – Job 42:10
April 18th – Acts 2:1-2
Acts 2:1-2 In the current climate, there is more than enough hate to go around. And it’s easy to get caught up in the anger and turmoil of the day. But as the church, as Jesus’ representatives on earth, shouldn’t we strive to do better? To be better? Shouldn’t we want to get back to… Continue reading April 18th – Acts 2:1-2
March 28th – Song Of Solomon 7:10
Song of Solomon 7:10 C.S. Lewis once said, “When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.” Although not much talked about, romantic love is a blessing sent by God. The Lord wants to have a close, personal, relationship with each… Continue reading March 28th – Song Of Solomon 7:10
March 25th – Hebrews 13:16
Hebrews 13:16 Every once in awhile you’ll hear that it’s, “Random Acts of Kindness Day.” And everyone should go out and do something in service of another. But God tells us that everyday should be filled with acts of kindness for others. For the love and blessings He so generously gives to us, we are… Continue reading March 25th – Hebrews 13:16
March 24th – Deuteronomy 4:7
Deuteronomy 4:7 The people of Israel were God’s special possession, His very own. And He wanted with them, like He does with us, a close personal relationship built on love and obedience. As His chosen people, God offered them not only a land filled with milk and honey, but victory over their enemies. Gloriously and… Continue reading March 24th – Deuteronomy 4:7
March 15th – 1 Peter 3:9
1 Peter 3:9 I love the quote, “The best revenge you can give an enemy is by showing them true love.” When someone wrongs us our first instinct is to retaliate. But when we do, we become no better than the one who acted against us. And as satisfying as it may feel to exact… Continue reading March 15th – 1 Peter 3:9
February 28th – Galatians 5:26
Galatians 5:26 Society today glorifies wealth, fame, power, and aggression above all else. This makes it a real challenge for Christians to live by the Spirit rather than the flesh. For temptation is everywhere we turn. And the sins of conceit, provoking others, and envy, are easily given in to. Especially when we ourselves are… Continue reading February 28th – Galatians 5:26
