How religious performance can hide cruelty, and what God says real devotion looks like in everyday life, Isaiah 58.

Why God hardened Pharaoh's heart, and whether that makes him a cruel dictator who plays favorites, Romans 9.

Throughout the Old Testament, God made covenant promises. He made a promise to Adam and Eve, to Noah and his sons, to Abraham, to the nation of Israel under Moses, and to David. Through the prophets, he promised to make a "new covenant" when the Messiah came. These "big promises" show how the Bible is one unfolding message about Jesus Christ. They also help us understand why some of God's laws have changed, while others are permanent.

How you can read your Bible daily, fast, and pray, and still have a religion God rejects, Isaiah 58.

Why so many of God's own people rejected Jesus, and whether that means his promises can still be trusted, Romans 9.

Why the thing you most need can't be earned, bought, or added to your list of New Year goals, Isaiah 55.
