​Ephesians 2:19-22 After reading today's passage my mind spoke one word, unity. Unity not in the sense of we are equal or one love as Bob Marley would sing, but one nation. Israel was God's chosen nation, but they rejected Jesus as their Savior, the promised one, and thus suffered the consequences. In this short passage, we see the unity of believe...

Ephesians 2:14-18 In verses 14-18 Paul compares the Jews with the Gentiles. Both of these nations are completely different. Paul describes these two groups as alienated, complete strangers. Not only were they strangers to one another, but they were strangers to gospel. But Christ! Both the Jews and the Gentiles were brought near to God through the ...

Ephesians 2:8-13 I love how much this passage talks about the grace of God. Yesterday, Paul focused on who we were before Christ entered our lives.

When God moves for His people the earth trembles and rocks give water when needed. Applicat...

John 12:44-50 ESV "I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness." (John 12:46) Jesus came to save the lost and to heal the blind. As a child, your mom might have told you that your actions have consequences. She may have also reminded you not to act foolishly or even quoted James 4:17, "so...

John 12:27-43 English Standard Version (ESV) What is the writer saying ? As I read this passage I realized that Jesus makes so many powerful and important statements in His exchanges with the crowd. "Walk in the light while you have the light...believe in the light, so you may be sons of light." There are two responses: Believing God's truth opens ...
