From Dry Bones to Living Hope
(Ezekiel 37) When we let Jesus lead, He will change people’s lives around us forever - through us. Nothing matters more than eternity forever with Jesus and Jesus made a way for that to be possible. That’s exciting, and that’s worth sharing.
-
2 King 18: Standing Strong in a Shaking World
This chapter reveals the core issues Judah faced, primarily - lack of radical faith in Jehovah God. Would Judah trust in Yahweh, themselves, or their allies? In response to this threat, and in great humility, they urgently ran to the Lord for help and direction - which we will see further in the...

Grace in the Rubble
(2 Chronicles 36) Today, the Lord is looking for dedicated, distinctive people willing to stand firm in Him - no matter what. We are to be living sacrifices for the Lord and His will.

2 Kings 15: Hope Beyond Broken Leaders
Uzziah the soldier was defeated by his pride. Uzziah the builder destroyed his own ministry and testimony. Uzziah the farmer reaped the painful consequences of what he had sown. He is a warning to all who try to pursue unholy ambitions that deviate from what God’s will and plan is for our lives…

2 Kings 14: The Fatal Flaw of Partial Obedience
The truly humble person sees things as God sees them and doesn’t live in illusions. Pride blinds the mind, distorts the vision, and inflates the ego. A prideful person can’t tell the truth from fiction.
-
2 Kings 13: The Tragedy of Half-Hearted Faith
The Lord promises to wake up the things that are dead. He is the One with the power to raise up dry bones. As a Christ follower, we have this same resurrection power inside of us. Jesus came to bring life to all who will surrender and receive it. Today, we are called to live bursting with the…

From Ruins to Restoration
(Jeremiah 31) We don’t have to do anything to earn His love or His salvation other than repent from sin and selfishness and surrender our hearts and lives to Jesus.

2 Kings 11: Preserved by Promise
God is preparing us for what lies ahead. We need to be intentional and rest in Him. Don’t force His perfect timing or try to get ahead of God and His will. It’s hard, but it is absolutely worth it. We need to know and trust that God is at work in the hiddenness of these seasons. As we wait, we…

2 Kings 10: Passion without Surrender
The only way to find the freedom in life that Jesus wants us to experience is to allow Jesus to be Lord of every part of our lives. That means we give Him everything. Our time on earth is so short. It’s a blink compared to eternity. It’s up to us to give it all to the Lord. There is nothing on…

2 Kings 9: The Fast Lane to God's Purpose
Jesus came to set us completely free from the bondages of all sin. He wants us to surrender our whole lives to Him and receive all He has and intends for our lives. When we hang onto pockets of sin, we miss out on the complete freedom Jesus wants us to experience in Him. We miss out on His...

Trusting God in a Broken World
(Jeremiah 1, 17, & 31) Jesus wants everyone to have the option to experience Him now and forever. That’s why He came and died and rose again and commissioned us to speak His Word - His truth - to the world around us while we are here. Like Jeremiah, who thought he was too young, we tend to make...
-
2 Kings 8: Nothing Can Stop What God Has Planned
The battle between good and evil continues on - as it does today. The battle between godly leadership vs evil leadership also continues on - as it does today. The kings who chose to walk in obedience to the Lord were few and far between. Those who refused to walk obediently continued to damage...
-
2 Kings 7: Four Lepers and a Faithful God
Jesus has commissioned us to share His message, His truth, with the world around us. There is a soul war going on every day and He is raising His soldiers up to move forth in His mission so His Kingdom will be full. He truly doesn’t want to lose a single soul. Nothing matters more.

Run from the Fire to the One Who Saves

-
2 Kings 5: Healing Beyond Expectations
There are many times in life that we need to swallow our pride, walk in humility, and simply obey what the Lord says. We need to humble ourselves before the Lord and just do it. Whatever we feel the Lord asking us to do, we can and should choose to walk it out in faith. He doesn’t ask us to be…
more -
2 Kings 4: Empty Vessels, Big Miracles
During his years in the wilderness as an exile, David depended on God’s provision. The Israelites depended on the daily manna from heaven for nourishment. We need to turn to Jesus daily and go to Him for every need. Out of the riches of His grace, He will meet every need spiritually, physically,...
-
2 Kings 3: When God Fills What Faith Digs
As we abide in Jesus, we are to remain alert at all times. We need to take time to spend with the Lord and read His Word so we can always be ready for whatever comes.

2 Kings 1: Who Will You Turn To?
People may fail God, but God will never fail people. He sent Jesus to die for us, and out of His love for us, He stayed on that cross until it was completely finished.

-
1 Kings Wrap Up: Fractured Kingdom - Faithful God
Responsibility is our response to Yahweh’s ability. God is on the Throne, always and forever. The day will come, sooner today than yesterday, when we will have the privilege and honor of joining the millions of heavenly beings in singing to the Lord: “Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the...

Running from God, Chased by Grace
(Jonah 1-4) Nineveh didn’t have God’s Word. They didn’t know what to do until God provided someone to go and tell them. They couldn’t be saved until someone spoke God’s Word to them. Are we going to share God’s Word with the people around us or run away? That’s the question Jonah leaves us with...
-
1 Kings 22: 400 Voices - 1 Truth
We need to slow down in life and seek God first, and refuse to give in or compromise with evil. We can expect opposition. We need to be intentional about standing firm and remain confident in the Lord and His Word. We have the absolute truth of God’s Word and our job is to hold firm to His truth,...
-
1 Kings 21: The Vineyard and the Verdict
God is a God of justice and compassion. We receive salvation as a gift. We don’t earn it. Jesus died on the cross for us to have His life, now and for all eternity. He died so we could have life. If we truly have the heart of Jesus and are pursuing Him passionately, we should care about life…
more -
1 Kings 20: God Wins the Impossible Battles
Obedience doesn't save us. Obedience follows as a result of our salvation. The more we fall head over heels in love with Jesus the more we want to obey Him and His will. The more we love Jesus, the less desirable sin looks. God wants us to draw near to Him and to trust Him - always - no matter…
more -
1 Kings 19: The Cave, The Call, and The Comback
At every moment in life, we need to realize that God involves us in His mission not because He needs us, but because He loves us more than we can humanly comprehend, and He wants us. We are not necessary for God, we are wanted by God. God’s will makes a great Name for Himself regardless of us…
more -
1 Kings 18: The Rumble at Mount Carmel
We need to listen to God’s Word and obey it. We need to live it and speak it. The risk will be great, but the reward will be worth it. God delights in beating the odds, so we don’t have to be afraid to ask God to do the impossible. God loves to be at a disadvantage just before He wins. His glory...
-
1 Kings 17: From Empty Jars to Empty Tombs
Jesus is the only way to salvation. He is the only way to Life. He is the only way to a glorious eternity. It all starts with us alone with God. Before God works through us, He works on us. The most important time in our life is the time with the Lord that no one else sees. We are invited into...
-
1 Kings 16: Crowns, Compromise, and Collapse
God is a God of His Word. He loves us and He wants good things for the lives He has given us. He created us for victory. He sent Jesus so we could be saved from the train of evil and destruction we were on. Jesus offers us His rescue. He died so we could have that option.
-
Relentless Love that Won't Let Go
(Hosea 1-14) God’s love for us is unconditional and unchanging, but our enjoyment of His love depends on our faith and obedience to Him. We are created to serve God. God isn’t here to serve us. When we truly understand that, we will really start shaking the gates of hell. When we truly surrender…
more -
1 Kings 15: Wholeheartedness in a Half-Hearted World
What Scripture continually teaches us is that we need to come before the Lord in complete and wholehearted surrender. We need to ask Him to reveal any idols in our lives that we don’t realize have taken His place. And we need to repent quickly of anything revealed and get rid of anything that...
-
1 Kings 14: A Tale of Two Kings
Today, in our time and culture, surveys have revealed that “church” people don’t live much differently than people outside the church buildings. The materialistic and humanistic idols of the world have infiltrated their way into churches and are both tolerated and promoted. People want to be...
-
1 Kings 13: A Prophet, a Lie, and a Lion
Before we react or respond to something someone else says, we need to take some time to ask the Lord to confirm it through His Spirit and His Word. If it is truly of the Lord, it will bring us peace. If it goes against the Lord and His will, He will let us know. The Lord will honor our obedience…
more -
1 Kings 12: Choices Can Change Everything
Because Jeroboam didn’t believe God’s promise given by the prophet Ahijah, he began to walk in unbelief and ended up leading the people into a false religion that could not save them. The religion he invented was comfortable, convenient, and not costly, but it was not authorized by the Lord. The...
-
1 Kings 11: The Consequences of Compromise
To keep walking through the narrow gate, we have to renew our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus every day.

-
1 Kings 10: A Testimony that Crosses Boarders
People traveled from all over to see Jesus and determine if He was legit. The only fault people could find in Jesus was that He healed people, but it wasn’t the right day for that. He committed no sin. He was reputable in every way. Jesus isn’t just a good example, He is our Saving Grace.…

1 Kings 9: The Dangers of Drifting
Solomon gradually became more interested in prices than in values, and in reputation rather than character, and in the splendor of the kingdom rather than the glory of God. He drifted away from the Lord, which led to his downfall as well as the downfall of the nation he was leading.
-
1 Kings 8: God's Presence Changes Everything
God wants us to draw near and enjoy fellowship with Him - our Heavenly Father. He sent Jesus to make it possible and we shouldn’t take it for granted.

-
1 Kings 7: Built for God's Glory
As we rest and focus in God’s presence, we will experience true fullness of joy. We may look to things that sidetrack us in an attempt to find peace, but when it boils down to it, it’s only when we focus our mind and heart on Jesus that we find perfect peace. We need Jesus and we need to be...
-
1 Kings 6: Where Heaven Meets Earth
Sin separated and still separates us from God’s presence. Jesus came into this world - God in human form, and the moment He left the heavens and broke the broken, sinful world we live in - He was swaddled. He was held. He was close to humanity. Jesus wants to draw us close - closer than ever…
more -
1 Kings 5: Building What Lasts
Today, our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God dwells within us. It’s easy to insert personal preferences into what we believe is godly. The question we need to ask is how God wants to be worshiped, not how we want to worship. The Lord has not asked us to fix ourselves up…
more -
1 Kings 4: When Wisdom Reigns
Compromising with the world and the world’s ways is not worth it - ever. The world is full of distractions. We need to stay laser-focused on Jesus. We need to stay on mission. No matter what happens here, the mission hasn’t changed. Spread the Gospel truth of Jesus and the testimony of His power...
-
1 Kings 3: A Heart for More
Jesus did more than solve our problems. He cleanses sin from our lives and changes hearts. As Matthew 12:42 proclaims, Jesus is greater than Solomon. We can ask the Lord for more. We should be asking the Lord for more every day - more of His presence, more of His Wisdom, more of Him. Jesus loves...

Standing Firm When the World Shakes
(2 Kings 18-20; 2 Chronicles 29-32; Isaiah 36-39) The Lord wants us to trust Him for every detail of every outcome of life. He wants us to call to Him, to cry out to Him, and to turn to Him every day. His ears are always open. No matter how big or little the need may be, the Lord cares. If it is...
-
1 Kings 2: The Weight of Leadership
If you watch and read a bunch of information on how to eat healthy, but never do what the information tells us to do. You aren’t any healthier by consuming the information. You become healthier by actually applying the information. The same is true with God’s Word. God’s Word can only become...
-
1 Kings 1: Power, Pride, and Providence
God delights in choosing the unexpected or unqualified. He delights in redeeming sin. God loves to leave us in awe of His greatness - His glory. He loves to blow our hearts and minds out of the waters. God has His best in mind for us. It's up to us to trust Him and receive it.
