Above the Mundane
1 Samuel 10:15-16 “And Saul’s uncle said, ‘Please tell me what Samuel said to you.’ And Saul said to his uncle, ‘He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.’ But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.” As you have opportunity to speak today, what…

A Great Invitation
Matthew 4:19 “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” It is difficult to put into words the glorious calling of God to those who know Him.

The Things NOT Better Left Unsaid
Titus 2:15 “Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.” “Some things are better left unsaid,” is a phrase you’ve probably heard.

What Will People Think?!
2 Corinthians 5:13 “For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.” One of the things that can deter a person from sharing the gospel is the fear of what people might think of them if they do so. We live in a world…

At a Loss for Words
1 Peter 3:15 “In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” Have you ever been at a loss for words? It’s an awkward moment when this happens,…

Be Bold!
2 Corinthians 3:12 “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold.” If you are a Christian, do you share the gospel with others? Is it something you struggle with? Indeed, it is a rare thing if you don’t. Even the apostle Paul struggled with this at times. Thus his request to the Ephesian church…

A High Calling
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 “Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, Who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit.” Do you realize that the highest calling,…
