The Ocean - God's Reminder to Us
Standing by the sea, its easy to call to mind what David said - "When I consider the works of your hands, what is man that You are mindful of him?" The ocean reminds us of a few things, though. Vast as God's creation is, David also said "How precious are Your thoughts toward me, how great are the...

Jacob and the Crossroads at Bethel
In Genesis 28, we find Jacob, the son of Isaac on the run from his brother, Esau. Finding a rock to rest his head in a place called Luz, an ancient Israelite crossroad, he has a dream of a heavenly ladder and the Lord at the top. The Lord confirms the Abrahamic covenant with Jacob. When he wakes...

A Greater Realm of God's Glory
The same year that the king Uzziah died, Isaiah saw a life-changing vision. Uzziah means the Yahweh is strength, but 2nd Chronicles 26 tells us he was lifted up not in the strength of Yahweh, but in his own pride and strength. He ended up dying alone as a leper. In the year that pride and…

The Atmosphere For Growth
John 15:1-6 discusses an atmosphere for growth and fruit production. The best and only place we can hope to bear fruit is in Christ, abiding in Him as the vine and us as the branches. Him abiding in us is no problem, He is faithful. Do we abide in Him? Is it in Him that we live, move, and have…

A Testimony From the Gallbladder
I recently had gallbladder surgery. The science is fascinating but in the middle of it came a message. The gallbladder is one member of a larger body. When that member stops functioning, it loses its purpose, starts producing hardened stones, and starts working against the rest of the body. This…

Repent and Believe
David writes about the awesome wisdom of God's creation in Psalms 19, which then takes an interesting turn. He then starts talking about how the Word of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul and also "cleanse me from secret fault," "keep your servant back from presumptuous sin." Jesus' first...

Water That Truly Quenches Thirst
In John 4, a woman heaves a heavy waterpot to and fro at unusual times to avoid the crowd . A woman who has been rejected and divorced by many husbands. She comes across Jesus who offers her living water. Once she accepts who He is, she leaves the heaviness behind and runs to the people she used…

Resurrection Sunday 2026
Christ was crucified. The disciples were in hiding. The women were mourning. The sun was rising. The mystery was beginning. The resurrection is not a day we celebrate...its a reality we live in. Despite being slain, He took the keys of death and hell back, took away death's sting and the grave's...
-
Palm Sunday 2026
Jesus enters into Jerusalem to the fanfare of people rife with Messianic fervor. The Pharisees are plotting, but everyone is trying to catch a glimpse of the Messiah, whom recently resurrected His friend Lazarus from the dead. Tension between Jesus, the politics of Herod and Rome, and the…

The Resurrection and the Life
Long time friend of Jesus, Lazarus, is dead. Mary, Martha, and others mourn while Jesus shows up four days late with a promise that Lazarus will live again because Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. What follows next sets Jesus into the final climactic week of Jesus' earthly ministry. Stay...

Restored in the Restoring: Salvation to Your House
Zaccheus was hoping to catch a glimpse of Jesus as He came through Jericho one final time. As Zaccheus, overcome with conviction in the presence of Jesus, vowed to restore those from whom he had stolen, Jesus stated that Zaccheus would also be restored. Restored with what? Salvation. As in Psalms...
-
Faith in the Storm
Jesus usually taught, and then performed a miracle or miracles. After teaching that the Word of God must be received in good ground, He and the disciples set sail into a storm that threatened to sink the boat. Learn how the parable of the sower in Mark 4 is related to the lesson Jesus was…

"Lord, Teach Us To Pray."
Have you ever said "I dont know how to pray." Get nervous about being able to pray in front of people? In this episode, we learn what prayer is and also what it is not. Jesus taught that motives means a lot more than the words we speak. We do it humbly, not for show. He gave us a model, a manner,...
-
Your Invitation
Exodus 10:1, according to Jewish commentaries isn't usually translated in English correctly. Rather than saying "Go to Pharaoh," God says "Come to Pharaoh," they argue. "Go" is a command, a directive. "Come," is an invitation. God may be inviting you to step out for Him, or to fulfill a calling…

The Swords of Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha
Elijah is told to anoint three men - Hazael as king of Syria, Jehu as king of Israel, and Elisha as prophet. Whomever escapes from one would not from the other. These three people represent needs we have in our lives. Physical needs like sustenance, physical health, finances, etc. The next...
-
New Year 2026
Exodus...an unlikely New Years book of the Bible. Yet, it is a new year for Israel as they are delivered from Pharaoh. The birth pangs of 2025 have set the stage for spiritual birthing God wants to bring forth in 2026. God wants to take the travail of last year and bring forth new life this year…

The Christmas Prophecies - The Mystery of Bethlehem
Bethlehem got the proclamation "on earth, peace, and good will toward men." But Bethlehem saw hard times. Rachel dying, the captives of Judah departing into Babylon, the land of confusion. It saw the slaughter of innocent children, boys 2 years and under. The peace proclaimed at Bethlehem is not...
-
The Christmas Prophecies - The Child
We have entered the Christmas season. The lights are beautiful, the food is good, the family time is important, the presents are exciting. But beyond all of that, it is recognition of a birth. A Child born, a Son given. To recognize the manifestation of God's Son in the flesh and celebrate what…

Jesus - The Only Way Part 2
Part 2 of answering the question, "Why is Jesus the only way?" Jesus is the only one who did what was required by God for salvation. Sin seperated us from God, and only a sinless, spotless sacrifice could make the difference. Now our sins are cast away from us as far as the east is from the west,...
-
Jesus - The Only Way Part 1
Christians say that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Why? Is it because of some kind of dogmatic rhetoric? Simply, because the Bible says. Can the Bible be trusted? Can it be true? Is the Word really infallible? In Part 1, I explore the Bible claims that Jesus is the only Name given under Heaven…
more -
A Farewell to Condemnation
Even though you may be saved, do you still feel condemned? God has removed our sin as far as the east is from the west, but does it feel like you are next door neighbors with your past? Jesus was not sent into this world to condemn it but through Him it would be saved. There is no condemnation…
more -
The Unearned, Unpurchased, Freely Given Grace of God
How many works do I have to do to be saved? Is there a checklist? Do I need to give to charity, drop more money in the offering plate, be perfect in the commandments of the Bible? No. None of that saves you. We are justified by faith, and eternal life is a gift given that doesnt have to be earned...
-
The Sparrow, Not Forgotten
Psalms 102 says that this is the prayer of one who is afflicted and overwhelmed. If thats you, this is your message. In the psalm, the author feels like a lonely sparrow on a housetop. Sparrows were sold cheeply (get it?) back then. When man doesnt value you or see your worth, not one sparrow is...
-
Marked by His Presence
The Song of Solomon describes His Name as flowing oil, and He kisses us with the kisses of His mouth. Moses' face shown with the glory of God, but it was veiled because of the people. An angel went through the city in Ezekiel 9 and marked those whose hearts were for the Father in their foreheads....
-
Why Israel?
Israel, at least biblically speaking is a reference to a people, not a political government, necessarily. With the frightfully growing tendencies of antisemitism cropping up in the nation, not even 100 years out from the Holocaust, how should Christians respond? Maybe some wonder what the big…
more -
Family and Covenant Relationships
Colossians 3:18-25 and 4:1 outline roles and responsibilities of covenantal relationships as well as hardships we experience - sometimes we may not feel like upholding our end of the covenant because we feel like the other person isn't honoring theirs. But in all covenants, we do as if doing unto...
-
Pentecostal Power
Today on the Hebrew calendar marks the Day of Pentecost. On this day in Moses' day, Israel received the Torah, part of the Word of God. In Acts 2 on this sameqaday, the Church received the Promise, the Power, the Parakletos, the Comforter, the Teacher, the essence of God Himself - the Holy…
more -
The Lost is Found
A son decided to go off on his own, away from his father's provision. It may be a parable but Jesus based it on a true story - you and me. But there comes a time that we return to the Father. He has a way of interrupting how unworthy we are, how bad we've been, and He welcomes us with open arms,...
-
"What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Have you ever asked yourself this question? What does it mean to be saved? It doesnt matter how small we feel our sin is compared to others, none of us can measure up to God's holy standards. Thank God that it is by grace we are saved through faith. Perhaps God has been dealing with you about...
-
Activated Seeds
The Book of Revelation describes the powerful voice of Jesus as the sound of many waters. God has planted seeds through words, dreams, godly desires, and scripture. These seeds may have went through a dry season, but when the voice of many waters speaks activation to the seed of greatness inside…
more -
Water From the Rock
In Numbers 20:1-13, God told Moses to speak to the rock in the wilderness so water would come forth and give the rebellious nation of Israel, who were only after fruit and results, water to drink . Moses struck the rock twice, water still flowed but Moses missed out on the Promised Land. Many are...
-
Not-So-Silent Saturday - The Keys Have Changed Hands
Silent Saturday. Beneath the surface of the grave, Jesus the Bible says, has descended to the lower parts of the earth to preach to those that were former disobedient. In that, He led captivity captive and took back the keys of death and hell. Even in death, Jesus is victorious and will lead out…

Good Friday - The Crucifixion
Good Friday. Full of sham trials, blasphemies, choices, and a long bloody trail from gabbatha to Golgotha. The Lamb of God is sentenced to death by Rome at the cheers of Pharaseic onlookers. His disciples are scattered, one betrayed Him, one denied even knowing Him, Jesus is dying on the cross…
more -
Maundy Thursday - the Last Supper
Jesus greatly desired to have the Passover seder with His disciples. He released so much wisdom and so much knowledge about the Kingdom. In the Passover seder, He reveals that all of these things were concerning Him, He is the Passover lamb. He instituted the Lord's Supper from the unleavened…
more -
Spy Wednesday
Judas entered into a covenant relationship with the Pharisees to betray Jesus. People who become disillusioned with God will trade one covenant for another. He left the covenant of Christ and entered a covenant with Satan. Thirty pieces of half-shekel silver back then went for about $12.5 a coin....
-
Fig Tuesday
Jesus cursed the fig tree that had no fruit on it. We know there are spiritual fruits. In Matthew's account, He says not only can we do this, but we can speak to this mountain to be removed and cast into the sea if we have faith and believe when we pray. I think it's interesting He started…
more -
Holy Monday - Cleansing the Temple
After His arrival in Jerusalem, Jesus cleanses the Temple. It is called a House of Prayer, but religion and pursuit of money, financial gain, and greed turned it into a den of thieves. The zeal for the House has eaten Jesus up and we find Him overturning tables and driving out those who sold...
-
Palm Sunday 2025
Jesus rode from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem to the cheering of crowds as they laid their garments and palm branches along His path with great cries of "Hosanna!" I love the message this sends to us. Garments represent status or even labels that the devil, others, or that we give ourselves....
-
When He Sends You to the Harvest
In Luke 10:1-3, Jesus commissions 70 disciples to go before Him into cities He would soon visit. Before Heaven starts a move, a messenger will usually show up. We say we are waiting on God but really He is waiting on us. Will you be one of the few laborers that will agree to go into His harvest?
-
Going Over Religion's Head
In Luke 5:17-26, a group of four people go over the religious leaders' heads and get a paralyzed man to Jesus. He saw their faith and forgave the man, and healed him. Jesus attracts both religious spirited zealots and broken people alike. Pharisees love the commandments and do it out of…

Flood Advisory
The scripture comes from Psalms 18:16-19 and 18:28-33. When the enemy comes in like a flood, God rescues us because He delights in us. Sometimes He draws us out of many waters instanteously, but more often than not, He becomes our support, gives us strength to fight the enemy, illuminates the...
-
In His Strength
In our own strength, our heart and flesh fails. When we abide in Him, however, we become strong at our weakest. The Kingdom of God turns carnal thinking on its head. It is where the last becomes first and first becomes last. The mightiest becomes the servant. The mourners are blessed. The...

New Years 2025- 50th Episode
Beyond New Years resolutions and goals, what is the vision for 2025? What is God's vision for you, your family, your church? As we already of a mind to accept the freshness of a new time and season, it is also a good time to seek Him for what He wants us to accomplish this year and in every day…

Immanuel - God Is With Us - Christmas 2024
God proved that He will always be with us by sending His Son and His Holy Spirit. To confirm this, He gave Isaiah a prophecy that a virgin would conceive and this son of hers would bear the title "Immanuel," or God with us. As we observe Christmas time, we focus on the advent of Jesus, the Word…

On Earth Peace and Goodwill - Christmas 2024
After Malachi and the return of Israel from Babylon, Heaven fell silent. There was 400 years of seeming silence for the most part. A whispered forthtelling of a birth to an aging priest and a young maiden from Nazareth, but still, silence. Then a darkness-shattering wail of a newborn's cry in...

Darkness, Light, and Oil: The Christian Message of Hanukkah
Most Christians don't give Hanukkah a second thought, and while there is no custom or obligation to celebrate it as a Christian, the events surrounding this holiday are prophetic whispers in between the testaments that points to the arrival of the Light of the World. John 10:22 bears witness that...

Disappointment Amidst Faith Part 4 - Is God Silent?
In part 4 with disappointment amidst faith, I want to look at the last question people typically ask - is God silent? Students of His Word will say of course not, that's what His Word is for. We find however, He doesn't just speak through His Word but through His people. As God is in us through…

Disappointment Amidst Faith Part 3 - Is God Hidden?
Following questions asked in Philip Yancey's book on disappointment amidst faith, we look at the second question, is God hidden? Why does God feel distant during fiery trials or during heart-wrenching moments of grief? Let's discover what the Bible says about it together. Resources: Romans…

Disappointment Amidst Faith Part 2 - Is God Unfair?
In part two in talking about disappointment as related to faith, I discuss a question Philip Yancey asks, and perhaps many of us when things go wrong even if we are trying our best to live right...is God unfair? Seems straight forward, but for those suffering under crushing life circumstances, it...
