The world places self-love as the most important. The world says that "I" am the most important and what "I" want is all that matters. Jesus teaches a different Gospel.

Luke 12:13-34. Jesus called the man who became rich in this life but not rich towards God a fool.

Mary and Martha were sisters, but were very different people. Mary recognized that Jesus would only be with them for a brief time, and so she chose to place all of her attention upon Jesus by sitting at His feet. Jesus gently rebuked Martha that she had let the worries and anxieties of life become distractions. May we never be so distracted that we fail to see that Jesus is right in our midst, wanting to spend time with us. That is the better choice.

Mark 7:24-37 The Syrophoenician mother had a desperate faith. Her faith would not let go of Jesus. She had heard of and possibly seen His great miracles. She could not and would not believe that a power that great and that loving would be limited to one people group. The faith of the Syrophoenician woman caught the attention of Jesus. She wasn't the only woman in the New Testament to amaze Jesus with such faith. Clearly, Jesus values our faith. Don't give up. Without faith, it's impossible to please God.

Life may not look how we plan or think it should, but as we put our faith and hope in Jesus, He is working all things for good.

Matthew 20:1-16. Jesus gave many parables that teach us what the kingdom of God is like.

Matthew 18:21-35. Jesus told a parable that illustrates what it means to forgive. We sometimes think that we have a right to hold onto unforgiveness when we are wronged, but when we become Christians, we become a part of the Kingdom of God, and forgiveness is the currency of the Kingdom of God. God commands that we forgive others because we have been so graciously forgiven. Who are we to make others repay for their sins against us when we have been released of the debt that we could never repay? This parable speaks of a serious truth for those who choose not to forgive. Unforgiveness blocks our relationship with God our Father, and we cannot move forward as followers of Jesus if we hold unforgiveness in our hearts. The Holy Spirit is able to help us to do this, not in our own strength, but by His power in us, can we forgive others when we are hurt and wronged.

Mark 10:13-31. Jesus calls us to surrender our whole lives to follow Him. Are there things you might be putting your faith in other than Jesus? Are there people you are placing as more important than Jesus? If Jesus asked you to choose Him first, would you be able to? The rich young man in the story was not able to give away all he had to follow Jesus. He loved his money too much. Anything that becomes more important than Jesus is an idol, a false god. God commands that we worship Him and Him alone. Are there possible idols in your heart that could be keeping you from fully surrendering to Jesus today? Let Him have everything, and in return He promises eternal life, hope, joy, peace and so much more. What Jesus has to offer is better than anything this world can offer.

Vineyards were grown everywhere in Israel during the time of Jesus. When He said, "I am the vine," His followers would have understand what a vine is and does. As the vine, Jesus gives us life.

He produces the fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. As we remain in Him as the vine, He causes us to grow and look more like Him.

Jesus told many parables, and many of those parables were about the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus wanted us to understand deep and spiritual truths about the Kingdom of God. He gave us many pictures and illustrations of what i means to be children of the Kingdom. We see in part now, but one day, we …

Jesus told many parables to his disciples and followers to help them understand deep truth and to keep truth hidden from those who were enemies and unable to receive what Jesus came to offer. As we walk through different parables that Jesus told, may our ears be ever listening and our eyes ever seeing as …

John 10:1-10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to …

When we realize how much we’ve been forgiven, we will be able to forgive much.

Jesus said, “I am the Light of the World.” Only by Jesus, can we see what truth is. He is reality, and He illuminates all truth.

Mark 5:21-43. Jesus came as the Prince of Healers, but He also came as the Prince of Hope. He is the greatest happily ever after we will ever know. He longs that all should know the hope to which He has brought us. Release your discouragement today, and allow His hope to flood your heart.

Luke 7. God is not so far removed from us that He does not know what we walk through. Immanuel, God with us, has come, and He is near to the brokenhearted. He sees our pain and our suffering and He is willing. Allow the Holy Spirit to come near today. Don’t let the pain …

Jesus had the power to forgive sins because He is God, and only God can forgive sins and wash us clean. The Pharisees could not see or believe that Jesus was God, so they considered this blasphemy. They were more concerned with being perfect than having a relationship with God.

All authority from God had been given to Jesus. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, He revealed what the Kingdom of God looks like. He also revealed that He is WILLING. Do you feel far from Jesus today? He is willing to come near.

Jesus gave us seven “I AM” statements in the book of John. Jesus echoes the covenant revelation of God as “I Am that I Am.” In His I AM statements, Jesus lets us know who He is and what He is like. The first statement we look at in today’s episode is His statement, “I …

Luke 4 and Isaiah 61. Jesus went to His hometown of Nazareth to reveal to them that He was the promised Messiah that Isaiah had prophesied about in Isaiah 61. They could not believe it. They would not believe it, and because of their lack of faith, Jesus left Nazareth. What is our response to …

Mark 1, Matthew 4, Luke 5. Peter, Andrew, James and John did not have to think twice about whether or not they would follow Jesus. The Bible says, “immediately” they left everything and followed Him. It makes me wonder, does Jesus have my “immediately”? How often to I put Him off, delay my “yes” because …

Matthew 4. Jesus overcame the temptations of Satan by quoting Scripture. The power of the truth is something the enemy couldn’t do anything about. Eventually he gave up and left Jesus alone. All we need is the truth. We need it deep down in our spirit so that when the enemy comes in like a …

The Wise and Foolish Builders 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation …

Luke 2. When we are introduced to Jesus, we must make a decision. Jesus revealed at the age of 12 that His Father was God. He recognized who He was at age 12. He knew He must be about His Father’s business. More revelation would come as He got older, but this causes us to …

Psalm 18:1-19 I love you, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;     my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,     my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,     and I have been saved from my enemies. 4 The cords of death entangled me;     the torrents of destruction …

After Jesus was born, Joseph was warned in a dream to take his family to Egypt. Jesus’ entrance into this world was not easy. The same enemy of Jesus, is the same enemy that comes against us today. But God has given us His Holy Spirit to remind us of the truth and fight against …

The gift that Jesus came to give is for all, not just the poor. All men and women, rich, poor, young, and old are offered the gift of salvation, for we all are in need of a Savior! Both the wise men and the shepherds came to bow and worship before Jesus, the Messiah. So, …

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has …

Luke 1-2. Matthew 1 Jesus, God with us, was born in a manger. He grew as a man and knew what it was like to experience what we experience. No other false god in history could boast such an accomplishment. To come as a man, to live and dwell among us, make Him the most …

Gabriel’s Message to Mary Luke 1 They had waited hundreds of years. They were looking for a man, for a king, for a Messiah. Did they know God had decided to send HIMSELF? No, they didn’t. They simply could not fathom that God’s plan was to send Himself. It was the most miraculous message ever …

Luke 1. God’s plan was beginning to unfold. It began with an angel named Gabriel, sent to tell Zechariah that he would have a son, and his son was to be named John. John would be the messenger to prepare the way for the Lord.

God is not slow in keeping His promises!

God spoke to His prophets long before Jesus appeared on earth. God had a plan from before the world began. Jesus was and is the Lamb who was slain at the foundation of the world. God gave glimpses of His plan to His people hundreds of years before Jesus came. There was no possible reason …

Jesus said, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life….” He also said that He would send the “Spirit of Truth” which is the Holy Spirit. The world would try to tell us that we can create our own truth, but God has already declared what truth is. He IS truth. He defines truth, …

The only explanation that Job’s friends could find for why Job was suffering was to think it was because he had done something wicked. Their theology only left room for the wicked to suffer. Yet, we learn from the story of Job, that the righteous will face suffering and persecution as well. God is good …

Job 1-2 We must get a right theology of God for when we face suffering. We will suffer in this life, and that does not mean that God is bad. The first thing Satan wants us to do is curse God when we are in pain because He knows that will bring separation between us …

God promises us that if we rely on Him, we will be like a tree that is planted by streams of living waters, flourishing and prospering with roots that go deep. The one who trusts in himself will be like a bush in the desert…dead and lifeless. God’s Word is truth, and His promises are …

Nehemiah 12-13. Nehemiah understood the importance of order in worship. He reminded the people of the God’s command to tithe and keep the Sabbath. Both of these practices are safeguards to make sure worship is a regular part of our lives. When we give back to God what He has given to us, we are …

Nehemiah 8-9. Upon hearing the Word of the Lord read aloud, the people’s hearts were stirred. They fell on their faces in worship before the Lord. They repented of their sins and renewed their covenant with Yahweh. God’s Word is alive and active and will always accomplish its desired purposes in the lives of people. …

Nehemiah 4-6. God had called Nehemiah to a specific task, but it would not be without opposition. There will always be enemies of God, but that does not mean we should give up. Nehemiah faced fierce opposition, but rather than fight it in his own strength, he looked to the Lord to be his defender!

Nehemiah 3-4. Nehemiah saw a need, and he stepped out in faith to be a solution. God partners with us, His people, to step out in faith. He places burdens on our hearts for specific people and needs, and He then asks us to step out and trust that He will provide what we need …

Nehemiah 1-2. Nehemiah was a man of prayer and faith. He knew His God would be faithful.

Ezra 7-9. Ezra was a man of the Word. He had diligently studied the Word of the Lord, and because of his faithfulness to know and study God’s Word, the hand of the Lord was upon Him. The same is true for us today!

Esther 5-9. God moves and works in ways we cannot see. He is always at work. We must trust that when we cannot see what He is up to, that He works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! Esther put her faith in God, …

Esther 2-4. The book of Esther reveals the sovereignty of God. He is all powerful and thus, always in control. God’s sovereignty is not diminished by our free will. Rather, the mystery of God’s sovereignty is that He allows us free will. He allows us the opportunity to partner with Him for “such a time …

ש Sin and Shin 161 Rulers persecute me without cause,    but my heart trembles at your word.162 I rejoice in your promise    like one who finds great spoil.163 I hate and detest falsehood    but I love your law.164 Seven times a day I praise you    for your righteous laws.165 Great peace have those who love your law,    and nothing can make them stumble.166 I wait for your salvation, Lord,    and I follow your …

Esther 1-2. God’s favor was upon Esther, just as His favor had been upon Joseph and Daniel in a foreign land. God’s favor is never an end unto itself. God places favor on the lives of His people for the calling He has placed on their lives. God calls you and I to live out …

Haggai 1-2. God spoke to Haggai in order to stir the hearts of the people to not give up on the rebuilding of the temple. What they thought looked like ruins, was just the beginning of God’s work of restoration. God had a plan beyond their wildest dreams. This plan would involve the healing and …

 Qoph 145 I call with all my heart; answer me, Lord,    and I will obey your decrees.146 I call out to you; save me    and I will keep your statutes.147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;    I have put my hope in your word.148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,    that I may meditate on your promises.149 Hear my voice in accordance …

Ezra 3-4 The Israelites faced much opposition upon their return to the Promised Land. The enemies in the land began accusing the Israelites and setting up obstacles to their continuing the rebuilding of the temple. Satan is called the accuser of the brethren. Day and night, he never stops accusing. The only way to drown …

Ezra 1. God is never late. He is working even when we cannot see Him. His timing is not our timing. Don’t give up on God, friends. He has not given up on you. Even in the waiting, He has a plan, and He is always working all things together for our good!

פ Pe 129 Your statutes are wonderful;    therefore I obey them.130 The unfolding of your words gives light;    it gives understanding to the simple.131 I open my mouth and pant,    longing for your commands.132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,    as you always do to those who love your name.133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;    let no sin rule over me.134 Redeem me from human …

Daniel 6. Daniel was a man of integrity and character. When his enemies tried to find fault with him, they came up empty. Daniel lived his life in public just as he lived it in private, so when a law was made that forbid him to pray to his God, Daniel could not obey. He …

Daniel 5. God sets kings on their thrones, and God removes kings from their thrones. Lest we not forget, God is sovereign, and He is Lord over all. In the end, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Let us not be found wanting like King Belshazzar!

ס Samekh 113 I hate double-minded people,    but I love your law.114 You are my refuge and my shield;    I have put my hope in your word.115 Away from me, you evildoers,    that I may keep the commands of my God!116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;    do not let my hopes be dashed.117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;    I will always …

Daniel 4. It is God who sets up rulers and removes them. King Nebuchadnezzar allowed his pride to be his downfall. He was one of the greatest and most powerful rules of his day, until the Lord humbled him. Yahweh is King of kings and Lord of lords. No amount of earthly power or rule …

Daniel 3. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would obey and follow Yahweh, even if it cost their lives. They were willing to be thrown into the fiery furnace rather than bow to a golden image. They trusted God, no matter the cost, and God rescued them in the fire.

מ Mem 97 Oh, how I love your law!    I meditate on it all day long.98 Your commands are always with me    and make me wiser than my enemies.99 I have more insight than all my teachers,    for I meditate on your statutes.100 I have more understanding than the elders,    for I obey your precepts.101 I have kept my feet from every evil path    so that I might …

כ Kaph 81 I deeply long for you to save me.    I have put my hope in your word.82 My eyes grow tired looking for what you have promised.    I say, “When will you comfort me?”83 I’m as useless as a wineskin that smoke has dried up.    But I don’t forget to follow your orders.84 How long do I have to wait?    When …

Even though the Babylonians had invaded Jerusalem, God would not give up on His people. He gave them a beautiful promise through His prophet, Jeremiah that said, “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares …

Jeremiah had followed Yahweh from the time he was a young man and heard His calling. Even though it had led him to a muddy pit, Jeremiah could still say, “Great is your faithfulness, O God.”

The Lord had placed His Words inside of Jeremiah, and even if he tried to walk away from his calling, he couldn’t. There was a fire inside his bones, the fire of the Word of God, that would not stay silent. God had given Jeremiah words to speak, and even though it caused him persecution, …

ט Teth 65 Do good to your servant    according to your word, Lord.66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,    for I trust your commands.67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,    but now I obey your word.68 You are good, and what you do is good;    teach me your decrees.69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,    I keep your precepts with all my heart.70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,    but …

A new episode

God had called Jeremiah out of hiddenness, into the life of a prophet. God was placing His words into Jeremiah’s mouth. It would not be easy, in fact, it would be so hard, Jeremiah came to be known as the weeping prophet. God’s call is not to ease, but to obedience. A life with God …

ז Zayin 49 Remember your word to your servant,    for you have given me hope.50 My comfort in my suffering is this:    Your promise preserves my life.51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully,    but I do not turn from your law.52 I remember, Lord, your ancient laws,    and I find comfort in them.53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,    who have forsaken your law.54 Your decrees are the theme of my …

The Word of the Lord is alive and active. It cuts through to the very heart of our motives and thoughts. This is why the enemy tries to get us to do anything but read God’s Word, for he knows that when we do, we will be like Josiah and the Israelites, convicted and repenting, …

2 Kings 21 and Isaiah 51. King Manasseh will be remembered as one of the most wicked kings who reigned over Judah. Because of Manasseh’s sin, Judah would be exiled from the Promised Land. BUT, God had a plan….

2 Kings 20. God sees our tears, and He hears our prayers.

The new king of Assyria had turned his sights towards Jerusalem. Sennacherib dared to threaten the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He soon found that Yahweh is no mere false god made of wood or stone. The Holy One of Israel would not let His name be blasphemed. All who are proud will be …

ג Gimel 17 Be good to your servant while I live,    that I may obey your word.18 Open my eyes that I may see    wonderful things in your law.19 I am a stranger on earth;    do not hide your commands from me.20 My soul is consumed with longing    for your laws at all times.21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,    those who stray from your commands.22 Remove from me their …

2 Kings 17. The end of the northern kingdom of Israel is one of the saddest stories in the Bible. It’s a story of what happens when people choose to follow their own self-made gods rather than the One True and Living God. God had called Israel, His chosen people, to be a light to …

2 Chronicles 29. A highly important, yet very overlooked woman of the Bible is Abijah. While married to an evil and wicked king, she faithfully raised her son to follow in the ways of the Lord. Talk about the power of a mother! Abijah’s faithfulness to raise her son in the ways of the Lord …

א Aleph 1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,    who walk according to the law of the Lord.2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes    and seek him with all their heart—3 they do no wrong    but follow his ways.4 You have laid down precepts    that are to be fully obeyed.5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast    in obeying your decrees!6 Then I would not be put to shame    when …

2 Chronicles 28 and Isaiah 7. God is the God of second chances. He will be faithful to His covenant promises, not because of anything we do, but because He is faithful. God gave King Ahaz the chance to return to Him and look to Him for help, but Ahaz refused, and in the end, …

Isaiah 6. In this episode, we begin our journey into learning about the prophets and their role in God’s plan for Israel during the exile. God had warned the people that if they did not turn back to Him, they would lose the land. They did lose the land, but not all was without hope. …

Jonah 1-2. We are familiar with the story of Jonah, but not as familiar with Jonah’s prayer. In Jonah 2, we read one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible. Jonah would have been very familiar with King David and his Psalms. Jonah would have grown up singing the Psalms. In the belly of …

2 Chronicles 26. King Uzziah learned from his father. While he did many good things, sadly, he let his pride get the best of him. God will always deserve our allegiance and honor. He is a holy God, and made a way for us to be in His presence through the sacrifice of His Son, …

2 Kings 4 and 6. God performed many miracles through Elisha’s ministry, but it was not because of anything Elisha did, it was because Elisha was obedient.

John 6:35-40 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive …

2 Kings 2. Elijah’s time had come. Elisha now asked for a “double portion” of the Spirit of God that rested upon Elijah. Elisha knew that he could not face the culture of his day without God’s power and presence. So, it is true of us as well. In a culture filled with confusion, we …

1 Kings 22. Micaiah was the only prophet, out of 400, that was brave enough to speak the truth to King Ahab. The truth of God’s Word will always reveal things to us that are good for us, even if it might be hard to hear at times. That’s why it’s so important to read …

1 Kings 18. Elijah challenged Baal to the ultimate test. Two altars, two sacrifices, two prayers. The God who answered, would be the true and living God. The prophets of Baal cried out for hours, cutting themselves and dancing to a god who would never answer, who could never answer. As soon as Elijah prayed …

1 Kings 17 God called Elijah to go to Sidon, the very region from which Queen Jezebel had brought Baal worship. It was a pagan and ungodly land. Baal was the king of their gods. They worshiped Baal as the god of rain and dew. He was the god who “rode on the clouds.” But …

1 Kings 16. King Ahab was, up until this point in Israelite history, the most evil and wicked of all the things. Not only did he allow Baal worship, he married a woman who had an agenda to completely wipe out Yahweh worship from the land of Israel. Jezebel was from Sidon. She was a …

Psalm 19:1-11 The heavens declare the glory of God;     the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech;     night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech, they use no words;     no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,     their words to the ends …

1 Kings 14-15 and 2 Chronicles 11-15. When words or phrases in the Bible are repeated, it’s important to take note. There’s a message the author is trying to get home.

1 Kings 12:25-22; 13:1-6, 2 Chronicles 11:13-17 Jeroboam and the northern kingdom abandoned the worship of the Lord as revealed in His Word and covenant and instead replaced it with idolatry.

Psalm 16:1-2; 5-11 “Keep me safe, O God for in you I take refuge. I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’ Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in …

1 Kings 11. King Solomon made alliances with foreign nations through marriage. The wives of Solomon brought their false gods and idolatry with them.

For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) What is the answer? JESUS.

2 Samuel 9. We all at times feel a bit crippled of soul. The fall of Adam and Eve left us all crippled by sin. Just as David showed kindness to Mephibosheth out of his loyalty to his covenant with David, so God shows us lovingkindness by sending his Son, Jesus to heal us and …

2 Samuel 1-6.

Matthew 6:5-13.
