In Mark chapters 1 and 2, we see the calling of the first disciples by Jesus. He simply said “Follow Me” and they left all and followed Him. What keeps us from leaving everything to follow Him?

We can learn some valuable things from a man sick with leprosy. Today, we are looking at Mark 1:40-45, and Jesus’ healing of a leper.

One thing we see throughout the Gospels is that Jesus took time to be alone with the Father in prayer. Jesus spent countless hours ministering to the people in Israel, but He also always took time for prayer. By spending time in prayer, we not only draw close to God, but we have an understanding of…

Mark 1:29-34, we see Jesus entering the house of Simon, and finding our his mother in law is sick in bed. Jesus heals her sickness, and immediately she serves them. Later, all the town brings those that are sick and demon possessed to Jesus for healing. It may be your prayer that brings healing to …

We reflect on Jesus' powerful teaching in Mark chapter one, where His authority astonished the people in Capernaum. What does it mean to be amazed by His doctrine and power? We challenge ourselves to consider how we can bring that same sense of wonder into our church experiences today. What if…

Jesus heals a demon possessed man in Mark 1:23-26, Yet, we can learn more about Jesus through His interaction with the demon possessing this man. Is belief enough? Well, even the devils believe, and look where it got them.

Jesus entered the synagogue and taught as one who had authority is what we read in Mark 1:21-22 and the people were astonished because He taught better than the scribes the people were used to. Why is that? Because Jesus knew the Scriptures and knew the message God had given Him. We need to follow …

The verses we look at in this episode all have one thing in common- your obedience matters. God wants your obedience. God wants you to trust Him.

Could it be that we have our focus on the wrong thing? Jesus calls His first disciples and told them He’d make them fishers of men. Fishing they understood. Jesus didn’t use bait, He simply called people to repentance. Our focus must shift from using “bait” to call people to Christ, and use the Gos…

During trials, actually at all times, we need to keep our focus on Jesus

In today’s episode, we pause with David in the quiet of Psalm 141:1–2, where he pleads, “O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” This is more than a c…

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ final words before His ascension—words that still echo in the hearts of believers today. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to the empowering promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8, we unpack how Christ sends His followers into the world with purpose an…

Culture changes. Life gets loud. But, God’s Word is steady. Join me as we explore how Romans 8 can shape the way we walk in today’s world-without losing our faith.

Shame called. Guilt texted. Condemnation knocked. But guess what? You don’t live there anymore. In this episode, we unpack the freedom bomb dropped in Romans 8:1—“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s not a cute suggestion. It’s a kingdom fact. If you’…

In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Pa…

With all that is going on in our country right now, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Heaven has immigration rules. What are they? Let’s look.

Acts 2:41-47, here we get a glimpse of the early church. We need to be more like this, and less like the church is now.

After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you ca…

God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.

God wants to give you a sound mind. A mind that is at peace with God, a mind that is focused on Him, and not the world. Are you ready to receive that mind today?

Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn’t have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don’t associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.

God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.

2 Timothy 4:7, Paul is teaching that God did not give us fear. Fear paralyzes our faith and renders us useless to God.

We are looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:7 and seeing what God has called us to, and what He has called us to abstain from.
