The Sabbath reveals a deeper heart issue: legalism. While we often rely on rules, Jesus shows that grace—unearned and freely given—is what truly heals. When He restored a man lame for 38 years on the Sabbath, He demonstrated that God’s grace transcends our limitations and rules.

What does the Bible say about eternal life? Today, we’ll look at John 3 and 4 to see how Jesus navigates this conversation with two different people: Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman. We’ll explore how each of them engages with the topic and responds to the idea of eternal life.

In John 2, Jesus encounters a problem at a wedding: the wine has run out, causing potential embarrassment for the hosts. Rather than simply solving the issue in a conventional way, He transforms water into wine, revealing His power to bring about profound change. By choosing to address the problem through this miracle, Jesus shows His compassion and reveals His divine glory, inviting His followers to see Him as the source of true provision and transformation.

Today, we look at the first steps of following Jesus. When He began His ministry, He called His disciples in various ways. Some followed after John the Baptist proclaimed, "Behold the Lamb of God." Others, like Philip, were called directly by Jesus. Still, others came through friends sharing the good news, drawn as God met them where they were.

Humility means seeing ourselves as we truly are—nothing more, nothing less—and stepping aside to allow God to work through us. John the Baptist modeled this by stepping back so Jesus could be exalted, showing that true humility makes space for God’s greater purpose.

Who is Jesus? He is the perfect and complete revelation of God, showing us who God truly is. He longs to dwell with us, not from a distance but close, sharing in our lives. Jesus invites each of us to become children of God, embracing us into His family and transforming our lives forever.

Matthew 9 talks about how the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.  Today we look at what it looks like to live on mission with the Biblical truths we have in hand.

Every life, both inside and outside the womb, is a precious reflection of God's handiwork, endowed with intrinsic worth and dignity. We are each uniquely created by God, with a purpose and value that cannot be diminished. When we trust in God's grace and follow His will, we align ourselves with His perfect plan—a plan that will never harm us but will lead us to the abundant life He desires for us.

We all have a worldview—a lens through which we see and interpret everything around us. But not all worldviews are the same. As followers of Christ, we're called to have a biblical worldview, grounded in Scripture. Colossians 2:8 warns us, "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." No matter how we feel or what the world says, we need a biblical framework to think through the issues we face, aligning our thoughts and actions with God's truth.

Psalm 34 calls us to our role as worship leaders. It teaches that we don't need countless reasons to worship God; one reason is enough to worship Him repeatedly.

Psalm 121 is a comforting song of trust in God's protection. It begins by affirming that our help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.

In life, we often look to ourselves and others for guidance, seeking stability and direction from fallible sources. Psalm 125 teaches us to look to Jesus as our ultimate guide. His steadfast love and protection offer unshakeable security, reminding us to place our trust in Him for true guidance and unwavering support in all of life's questions and circumstances.

Psalm 61 is a heartfelt prayer where David, feeling overwhelmed, cries out to God for refuge and strength. He remembers God's past faithfulness as his protector and strong tower, seeking His continued love and presence. In response, David commits to praising God and fulfilling his vows daily, grateful for His ongoing protection and provision.

Psalm 23 depicts God as a caring shepherd who guides and protects us. He leads us to peace and safety, desiring us to experience His provision and comfort. Our role, like sheep, is to stay close to the Shepherd. Through this Psalm, we are assured of God's constant presence and His intention for us to dwell in His goodness and mercy forever.

Psalm 103, attributed to King David, is a hymn of praise urging us to "Bless the Lord" and remember His countless benefits. It highlights God's mercy, grace, and steadfast love while acknowledging human frailty. The psalm reminds us of God's forgiveness, healing, and compassion, emphasizing our need to continually praise and remember His blessings.

James 5:12-20 encourages Christians to live with integrity and support one another. We are called to pray for each other, praise God in all circumstances, and pursue those who have strayed from the faith.

Today, we explore a crucial topic: the dangers of slander and gossip versus the transformative power of grace and truth.
