A Changed Life
Titus 2:13-14 “our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” Have you ever wished you could change someone? Are there people that really irritate you sometimes, or maybe all the time? And maybe…

Look!
Isaiah 45:22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth.” Recently I heard an account of how Charles Spurgeon became a Christian. Charles Spurgeon, who lived in the late 1800’s, was one of the greatest preachers of the gospel that the world has ever known. As a young man, Charles heard…

What’s your view of the cross?
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” What’s your view of the cross? Is it a nice symbol to you that marks a Christian church, or perhaps it’s a pretty symbol to wear…

The Coming Disaster
Jeremiah 6:9 “Hear, O earth; behold, I am bringing disaster upon this people . . . because they have not paid attention to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.” So, are you worried about something right now? Is something eating at you? Something coming in the next hour, day, week,…

Have you seen the glory?
Isaiah 6:3 “The whole earth is full of his glory.” What is glory? One definition I’ve heard that has helped me to understand the term is that “glory” is “a manifestation of the greatness of God.” The Seraphim that Isaiah saw and spoke of in Isaiah 6 said that the whole earth is full of…

He could have called 10,000 angels
Matthew 27:42 “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.” In these mocking words from those who crucified Christ, God saw fit to reveal a glorious truth. As Peter drew his sword to defend Jesus from…

The Easter “holiday”
I Corinthians 15:3-11 “I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to…
