Ezekiel 16 is an allegory that is, frankly, graphic. And for good reason — God’s showing us in rather stark terms how it was He who blessed us, gave us all good things, and we cheated on him. Worse than that. And yet He continues to pursue….and to what end?

You might also remember that 1 John ended with the line, “keep yourself from idols,” and since idolatry is related to our recent “knowing God” theme, today’s focus question will riff off what we’ll read in Ezekiel as God gets in the business of Israel’s failed leaders — What does it mean to repent?

Eternal life is a "now and not yet" part of human existence -- all humans. Today we talk about that.

Last week in the book of John we talked about his exhortation to “test the spirits.” Today in 1 John we actually get to the place that he wrote that. And our focus question today is going to riff off that again, albeit from a different angle — a problem that we all face in testing the spirits and a deceptively simple solution you can use.

We know that there's sin in the world...but what might we deduce about God and worldviews from that?

What happens when we don't believe what God has said about Himself?

What is "received-delivered" language? And why is it important to us helping others know God?

If someone asks you, "Do you take the Bible literally?", what do you say? Today might help.

The story of Doubting Thomas is a chance to look at a good question: “What if I doubt that what I believe is true?”

A special reflection on our greatest need, fear, calling, and the most significant moment in all of human history.
