Joshua 1:1-9
Love not the world
1 John 2:15-17
Transformed by Jesus
Luke 19:1-10 How has Jesus changed your life? In today’s passage, we meet Zacchaeus, a man who has his life radically transformed by Jesus. Like Zacchaeus, when we receive from Jesus what he is offering to us, our lives will also be transformed.
Conversations with Jesus
John 5:1-16 God pursues the hopeless and helpless. By believing in Jesus are made new for all eternity.
The goal of our instruction
1 Timothy 1:1-17 The centrality of love and the necessity of the gospel for preserving love.
The Rich Ruler
Luke 18:22-25 Our culture conditions us to value and promote independence and, for many of us, our situation in life means we are easily fooled into thinking we can live independent of God. But the gospel is all about dependence. The one who comes to Jesus in complete and utter dependence is the one who will be saved, and the life of following Jesus continues in complete dependence on him for all things.
Start off 2021 on the right foot
Matthew 22:37-40 Colossians 3:1-4 Joshua 24:15
Desperate Faith
Luke 8:40-56 The story of Jesus raising Jairus’ daughter from the dead and healing the sick woman teaches us that Jesus has authority over sickness and death. It calls us to reflect on our own weakness and mortality and to come to Jesus with desperate faith. We believe that Jesus has power to heal in this life, and even more importantly, that he has the power to give us eternal life.
