Jesus' Final Words: "I am sending you out as sheep among wolves."

Love Stands
God is observant of those who, with self-assured hubris, act like they can handle what life slings at them. Rather, be on the alert, the enemy of love prowls like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Note: the enemy is as a roaring lion -- in TRUTH the enemy is a powerful yet futile foe. As...

Jesus' Law of Love
Jesus knows all about you and me. He has had His eyes on each of us from our inception and His posture toward us is loving. Not the love we learned as kids, reinforced on tv and in movies, the smarmy heads in the sand puppy love that sets up soon-to-be discarded marriage vows. Jesus sought out...

Acceptance of the Way Things Are
Drop a tennis ball and it falls to the ground. It’s called “gravity.” When the ball hits the ground it bounces. That’s called “kinetic energy.” We don’t fight these two things - it’s simply the way things work. In this session, we’re going to look at “acceptance” of the way things work in a…

Gratitude
God uses all things for good for those who know and follow Him. Romans 8:28 BLT Jesus shows us what gratitude really looks like. In John 8 we find the story of a woman (and a man) caught in adultery. The religious leaders following the rules of the Old Covenant demanded she be stoned. Jesus, the...

Discouragement Overcome
History shows us hard times breed discouragement. 75,000 of our spiritual ancestors found themselves in hard times in the book of Nehemiah.

It's Not Too Late
We often think there comes a point where it’s too late. We've learned from fathers, mothers, friends, co-workers, and neighbors that, yes -- it’s too late. You’re overdrawn. We think that since people treat us this way, that’s the way God works, too. That’s not the way things work with infinite…

No Regrets
When we admit to God we’ve wandered away in thought, deed, and lifestyle, He forgives the offense -- and more! He pursues us to clean us up over time and make us holy. 1 John 1:9 BLT [1] At one time I referred to this verse as the “get out of jail free” card from the board game Monopoly. And in a...

Whisper vs. Thunder
"…my soul gives credit to God alone, for God is the source of my anchored optimism." Psalm 35:9 BLT [Bud Lamb Translation] I often underestimate what Jesus faced in the wilderness of Luke chapter 4.
