    Worthy of the Gospel

    Paul (including Timothy) wrote to the saints (holy ones) in Jesus Christ who were in Philippi. He thanked the Lord for their partnership (fellowship, participation) in the gospel of Christ, and he spoke words of encouragement to them. And then he spoke to them about his own persecutions for the...

    Give Me Courage, Lord

    I believe that one of Satan’s greatest weapons against us is his lies and deceptions. And I am speaking here of those of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ to do his will, who have died to sin, and who are living to God. Through the use of lies and deceptions, Satan’s objective is...

    Do Not Fear Them!

    “Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant...

    We are More Than Conquerors

    “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn...

    Courageous!

    Jesus Christ, God the Son, came to earth, took on human flesh, suffered as we suffer, and was tempted as we are tempted, yet without sin. He was despised and rejected of humankind, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. He was crucified on a cross, although he had done no wrong. Yet, he...

    Stand Strong in the Face of Rejection

    I am reading in John 18:1-27. It is a long passage so I am going to summarize much of it. So, please read it for yourselves. Judas Iscariot, who was one of Jesus’ 12 disciples, who had traveled with him in ministry for 3-3 ½ years, had just betrayed Jesus to the authorities. So he went to where...

    How to build up our faith

    So I was thinking of ways to encourage my brothers and sisters in their walk with God, and this will be one such feeble attempt to do so. Luke 17:5 (BSB) The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” How many times have I asked the Lord to increase my faith when I felt like I was...

    But Now Take Courage

    Keep Following Jesus Christ

    The priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees were annoyed that Peter and John were teaching about Jesus Christ and so they arrested them. The next day they brought the apostles before their rulers, elders, and scribes, along with their high priest, etc., and they examined them...

    That Christ will be Honored in my Body

    Philippians 1:12-14 ESV “I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident...

    Keep on Speaking the Truth

    Acts 4:13 ESV “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” I love how this states that the religious rulers and elders in the temple of God recognized that Peter...

    The children of Israel, God’s chosen people of old, were in captivity in Egypt. God sent his servant Moses to rescue them from their captivity, which he did. Then they wandered in the desert for 40 years under Moses’ leadership because of their rebellion against the Lord, although not all...

    Speaking the Words of Life

    Acts 5 ESV The early church lived in community with one another, caring for one another’s needs, so there was never a needy person among them. Those of greater wealth than others sold some of their properties and gave the money to the apostles who then distributed to those as they had need. But...
