How to Trust Jesus When You Need to be Filled

I’m sitting here staring at an idle keyboard and blank screen. I want to pour out encouragement and inspiration but I’m carrying around this heaviness and it’s hard to pour from a cup that needs to be filled. Life can be like that sometimes, can’t it? In Mark 6, Jesus and His disciples had just…

When You are Hopeless You Can Trust Jesus

Do you feel hopeless? Maybe you’re disappointed and discouraged by the state of the world. Maybe your hopelessness is much more personal. I want you to know you can trust Jesus when you feel hopeless. He is able to heal you. No, I can’t promise that He will heal you physically although I know He…

Important Things You Need to Do to Listen to Jesus

Listening is defined as the way the brain actively processes what the ear hears. But I’ll admit, that when I was teaching a class of kindergartners or talking to my children, anytime I said, “would you please LISTEN to me!” I was looking for more than simply filtering sounds into words. I wanted them to…

The Most Important Thing to Know About Being a Good Disciple

What do you think it means to be a good disciple? I was taught that to be a good disciple you needed to be a good student. Although, learning what Jesus taught and studying God’s Word are an important part of discipleship, I believe there’s another simple definition that better explains what it means to…

Trust Jesus to Have What You Need to Be Healed

You can feel the electric anticipation in the overflowing room. Jesus is speaking God’s Word in ways that you’ve never heard it spoken before. You’re fully focused on the teacher when bits of debris begin falling on you and those around you. In this account in Mark 2, four men carried their paralyzed friend to…

Why You Need to Pray First

Why You Need to Pray First

Mark was probably the first Gospel written. It was penned by John Mark, who was not one of the 12 Disciples but was a follower of Jesus and a companion of Paul and Barnabas on their mission journeys to “go and make disciples.” The 1st Chapter skips over everything prior to the start of Jesus’…

You Need to Know the Best Promise Ever

He is risen! It’s a statement of faith we proclaim on Easter but can you imagine the difference it could make in our lives if it is the first things we declared every morning and our last thought every night. You and I trust the Son of God, the Alpha and Omega . . ….

How to Pray When You Feel Abandoned by God

Have you ever felt abandoned by God? Have you experienced times when you’ve taken your needs to God and it feels like He’s not listening? You’re still sick. Your heart is still broken. You still don’t have a job and your need is still unmet. Yesterday, we looked at Jesus prayer… “My Father! If it…

How to Surrender in Faith When Life is Hard

The hardest words and the ones for which I am most thankful are found in Matthew 26… My Father, if it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet, I want your will to be done, not mine.” Matthew 26:39 Your will be done, not mine! They are so hard…

This is What You Need to Do to Be Ready for Jesus

Yesterday we looked at what Jesus said about being prepared for His return. Today, in Matthew 25, Jesus went on to tell His followers about the importance of having faith and the importance of showing others their faith by demonstrating His love. The first parable today, tells the story of 10 bridesmaids who were waiting…

The Best Way to Be Prepared for Jesus

So much has been written about the end times . . . even people who deny Jesus talk about the world coming to an end. I love that Jesus didn’t want His followers to be uninformed; so this week leading up to His suffering, death, and resurrection, He paused to talk about near future and…

How to Cure the Hypocrisy You See in Your Life

Matthew 23 is another chapter that makes me squirm . . . and I’d like to tell you why. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with…
