John 3:1-16 | Christianity is pure miracle from beginning to end. No one enters the kingdom of God on their own merits. Jesus was clear, “You must be born again.” The Bible calls this gift of new life regeneration. Regeneration is an explosion of God’s sovereign grace within, that washes us clean, makes us alive, and turns our eyes to Jesus.

Luke 15:11-32 | In the story of the prodigal son, we see a reflection of our waywardness and God's grace-filled reconciliation. Whichever son best represents our hearts, we must look to God's response to the lost soul - being ready to run to him and see him redeemed. Who has God set in your life to pursue?

1 Peter 1:13-16 | To be holy means to be wholly God’s. The pursuit of holiness goes deeper than merely avoiding that which corrupts our character; it includes pursuing that which most satisfies our hearts. Holiness does not rob us of anything - except the sin which seeks to rob us of everything. To pursue holiness is to pursue joy.

Proverbs 1, 8 | "Take my instruction instead of silver, and my knowledge instead of gold. I am better than jewels, all that you may desire cannot compare to me. I have insight. I have strength. I love those who who love me, and all seek me diligently find me. Whoever finds me, finds life."

Yours in Christ,

(Proverbs 8:10, 11, 14, 35)

Daniel 6:1-28 | On both sides of biblical faith are the ditches of fatalism and presumption. Fatalism says, “What will be, will be.” Presumption says, “What I say, will be.” But true faith says, “I trust God, whatever may be.” Daniel, now an old man in his final years, shows us what it looks like to trust God publicly and prayerfully, even under the shadow of life’s most difficult trials.

Daniel 5:1-31 | Just like Belshazzar, the story of humanity has been one of feasting on the edge of the grave. The writing is on the wall and the divine verdict is in: we have been numbered, weighed on God’s scale and found wanting, and are divided. It is here, at the point of despair, that the gospel breaks in with incredible news about what God has done to balance the scales.
