Joseph | Hebrews 11:22

Joseph's life was full of struggles, but his faith in God was unshakable. Even as Joseph was dying, he believed God's promises would all come to pass. How do we trust God when our circumstances are overwhelming?
“By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones” (Hebrews 11:22).

He Rebuked Fruitlessness | Mark 11:12–25

God expects His people to bear fruit in keeping with His character, but that’s not what Jesus found during His ministry. Why did Jesus curse a fig tree over it, and how can we abide in Him to bear godly fruit today?
"And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs" (Mark 11:13).

He Welcomed Everyone | Mark 10:13–31

Jesus shared His message with the insignificant and the influential alike, for He said many who are first will be last and last first. How do we receive the kingdom of God like children and also welcome in those around us?
"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.'" (Mark 10:27).

Dust and Ashes | Ash Wednesday 2022

Ash Wednesday starts the Lent season, the forty days leading up to Easter Sunday. To understand the Good News of Jesus Christ, we must remember the bad news about us. How can Ash Wednesday help us fix our eyes on Jesus?
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:3–4).

He Discerned Spiritually | Mark 9:14–28

Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus discerned what was not evident to the natural eyes of human beings. He knew of deeper spiritual realities, and He addressed them. He called His disciples to discern them and address them by prayerful reliance upon God. Can we walk this way in Holy Spirit?
"And Jesus said to him, '"If you can"! All things are possible for one who believes.' Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, 'I believe; help my unbelief!'” (Mark 9:23–14).

He Denied Himself | Mark 8:27–38

Like Peter, we confess Jesus is the Christ and follow Him as disciples. Will a life of discipleship be easy?
