We all have had moments in life we wish we could have back. We have said words to someone we wish we hadn’t, we have treated someone unkindly, and at times, we sense there is something more to life than what we are experiencing. So, what do you do with this? We look to the one who has come to save. We recognize that the reality of the resurrection changes everything. All of us have fallen short, missed the mark, and need rescue, and Easter Sunday reminds us that Jesus saves.

Why did Jesus die? Our sins demand death. On Good Friday, we remember that Jesus, in His great love, died the death we deserved (1 Pet. 2:24), sacrificing Himself once and for all so that all who believe in Him may have life in Him.

Stepping into Palm Sunday, we will look at a moment in Jesus’ life where those around Him are disappointed and disoriented.  Events have not met expectations, and hope has been broken by present pain.  A place we all will experience at some point.  But Jesus speaks to the pain with a promise of resurrection and a promise of life.

We are often told not to judge a book by its cover, and yet we do it all the time. We judge people based off external actions and impressions, and at times allow this to motivate our own actions as well. But here Paul reminds us, we have been bought with a price, we have been set free, and there is nothing we can do, no image we can create, no action that can earn us what we have already been given.

What are the Biblical grounds for divorce? How are we to heal from divorce? What does the Bible say about divorce? In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul gives instructions on how we are to walk through such moments as we follow in the way of Jesus.

Where is your refuge? Is it in your successes, accomplishments, or your ability to overcome an obstacle? Psalm 16 reminds us that our refuge is only found in the Lord, and in Him we can delight.

Those who are single can often feel as though the church has much to say about families, but not much to offer those who are not married or raising kids. As the number of people who are single is on the rise in our country, Paul has much to say to those who are single and the gift that it can be. Whether you are single or not, Paul has something here for all of us to pay

attention to.

Sex in the context of marriage is a good thing. But like most good things, we can distort them and turn them into a bad thing. We can make sex about our own satisfaction and selfishness, a means to an end. Paul has much to say about how we are to approach sex within marriage.
