Our God is generous, and He gives good gifts to His children. His commands to ancient Israel to give generously also extend to those of us who follow Him today. Loving God and loving others means giving generously back to Him and giving to those around us who are in need.

God's people were instructed to love Him with all their heart, soul and might. Jesus added that believers are to love their neighbors as themselves. But what does it look like to love God and love other people? We do not have to guess, because God spells it out for us in His Word.

"God has a plan for your life." Though this statement is true, we need to look deeper into the Word to discover what that plan entails. As we find His purpose for us, we see clearly that the empty cross and empty tomb offer a life that is full.

God set up cities of refuge for His people ... safe holding places for people who were accused of taking another human life either by murder or by accident. This law points to the truth that salvation comes only through the person of Jesus Christ.

What are the characteristics of a true leader? We see examples throughout Scripture, but they all point to the only one we are to follow: Jesus Christ.

It's not easy for us to trust in someone. In fact, it's not easy for us to even trust in the Lord. But when we remember who God is and what He has done, and when we truly hear His voice, we are able to walk by faith and trust Him along the way.

When we allow fear to be our focus, we move closer to disobeying God. Choosing faith in the Lord over fear brings us into God's will and gives us the confidence to take the next step in our walk with Him.

Numbers 6 contains a blessing given by God to Aaron and his sons so that this blessing could be spoken over the people of Israel. In Jesus, we see this blessing fulfilled not just for Israel, but for all of us. And through Jesus, God gives us peace.

Jesus has called us to bear fruit in our lives, and to do that we must remain connected to him. Paul Bock walks through our Savior's teaching about the vine and the branches to help us see how our lives can reflect God's glory.
