Bad Karma, Matthew 5:45 My cry to the Lord, “Why?” shows an obsession for comfort and happiness, believing God will bless me and protect me and my own from pain and suffering.

Additional Passages: Psalm 121; Matthew 5:45; John 9:2; Luke 13:1-5; Romans 8:20-23, 28, 35-39; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:13ff; 1 ...

Paul acknowledges that when he wants to do good, evil is right there with him. Problems, struggles, sin dogs us along the way. Where does help come from, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s All Good, Acts 16:16ff One of the wrong things Christians believe is that following God’s will always leads to things end as we desire, bringing personal happiness.

The Undeserving Recipient, Matthew 27:15-26 In a world that is fair Barabbas would have gone to the cross and Jesus would have gone free. But in a grace-filled world, all those like Barabbas are shown God’s mercy and love. Additional Passages: Proverbs 10:16; Luke 23:34; John 18:40; Romans 1:18; 3:23; 5:10; 6:23; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 1:8

A skeptical Thomas saw Jesus resurrected and believed. Blessed are those who do not see but believe. Jesus invites you to take that leap of faith and be eternally blessed. Additional Passages: Deuteronomy 31:6; Matthew 16:18; 26:23; 28:20; Mark 14:17; 16; Luke 11:21-27, 32; 24:38, 39; John 11:16; 14:5, 16:7; 18; 19:30; Romans 8:37-39; 1 John 4:18

Our Happiness is God’s Priority, 2 Cor 12:8-9 Where is happiness found? The worldview is that it comes from circumstances. Yet, circumstances are not in our control. No happiness comes from the Lord who created all and is in control of all things. Additional Passages: Exodus 31:12, 17; Isaiah 11:10; Matthew 5:3-10, 33; 11:28-29; Luke 6:1-11; 9:23, 24-25; John 11:16; 13:17; Acts 5:40-41; 21:13; ...

In our misconception of God, do we live as we choose, expecting the Lord to look the other way, and not judge us? Living for Christ is to seek His will in our lives and yearn to please Him. Additional Passages: Genesis 1:1; Numbers 14:31-33; Psalm 1:1; Matthew 5:27-28; John 8:7-11; Romans 1:32; 8:1; 2 Corinthians 4:2; Ephesians 4:17-18; Galatians 1:6-9; 6:7-8; Hebrews 11:25;12:5-8, 28; James 1:...

What we know about God is limited by what He has shared, and our limited ability to comprehend. Our misunderstanding that “He is like us” mis-shapes our perception of our salvation.

The Power of God’s Word, John 4:46-53 As we trust in the Lord our “Crisis of Faith” turns into a “Confidence of Faith” and then a “Confirmed Faith.” Ultimately, as we recognize that God is faithful and His promises are sure, our faith becomes “Contagious Faith.” Additional Passages: Psalm 119:49; 121:7, 8; Isaiah 58:11, Matthew 6:8; 7:7-11; 9:27; Mark 5:43; Luke 11:9; John 4:29, 39-45, Acts 16:...

Investing God’s Gifts, Matthew 25:14-30 God’s will for us has been enhanced by how He has gifted us for service.
