Matthew 24:1-14 (Faithfulness in the End)
Jesus gives a clarion call to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom, a Kingdom without end, to the whole world, as a testimony of Jesus to every nation. And so, the return of the King awaits nothing more than the preaching of the gospel to the ends of the earth. Peter concludes that any perceived delay in the Messiah’s returns happens only for the sake of the redeemed, that…
Sanctified to Love and Unity (John 17:17-26)
Our sanctification, or set apartness, comes in alignment to the truth, not mere statements of truth, but to Jesus, who is himself the word and the truth. This word that existed with God in the beginning, sanctified, or consecrated himself, verse 19, to God on the cross, that those who would follow him might also be sanctified. Jesus needed not to grow in holiness, but…
The Gospel Fruit of Pure, Sincere, Brotherly Love (1 Peter 1:22-2:3)
Having been born again though obedience (acknowledging the Truth and repenting unto salvation) to the good news of Jesus brings a new purpose to a human life. When we enter in to the salvation life of God, we become people who ought to “love one another earnestly from a pure heart… for…
When God’s Love Meets His Enemies (Romans 5:6-11, Good Friday)
God’s love for his enemies led him to the cross. It is where, as Paul says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” When one sees the marvelous works of the Lord, telling the glory of those works is the response. If you see, tell. The…
The One Who Showed Mercy (Luke 10:25-37)
In this so-called parable of the “Good Samaritan”, Jesus drives a knife into our sense of self-righteousness. Ultimately, Jesus shows us that we are not “good” people and that we all are in need of mercy. Only then are we truly able to begin to fulfill the law of love, to be a neighbor to anyone in need, even our enemies.
The Forgiven Debtor (Luke 7:36-50)
The one who has been forgiven much will love Jesus much. The one who does not know their need of forgiveness will not love Jesus or others. If your heart doesn’t incline itself to honor Jesus in reverence and delight, you don’t understand the debt that Jesus covered on the cross.
The Mark of a Righteous and Faithful Servant (1 Kings 18:2-16)
In this message, we see Obadiah, a faithful and righteous servant of God, who also happened to be the head of Ahab’s household, the most wicked king Israel had seen. Rather than resign his position, Obadiah shows us what faithful and righteous service to God looks like. In the midst of a…
