It’s back-to-school season, and we’re heading back into Bible study with a fresh perspective—one that will deepen your personal reading without adding more to your plate. This week we're exploring the rich literary genres of Scripture, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been learning (and geeking out about!) with you!

From his closest followers to Roman officials and outsiders, Jesus lived, taught, healed, and died in a way that stunned everyone around him. Today, as we reflect on his interaction with Pilate and the centurion at the cross, may we not lose our own sense of awe at who Jesus is and what he came to do—for everyone.

How do you handle disruptions—when life doesn’t go as planned, or when you become the disruption by standing for truth or setting boundaries? Today, we’re looking at a moment when Jesus completely disrupted expectations in his own hometown, and the crowd went from amazed to enraged. As we read Luke 4, let’s consider: how open are we to letting Jesus disrupt our lives with truth, grace, and purpose?

You know how some family resemblances are so strong, you can spot them a mile away? Scripture tells us that Jesus is the exact image of God—His heart, His power, and His presence made visible. Today, we’re looking at how Jesus amazed people not just by what He did, but by who He revealed—the God who heals, teaches, and loves fully.

Jesus amazed people—not just with what He did, but with who He is. In stories like calming the storm in Matthew 8 and walking on water in Matthew 14, we see His unmatched authority over nature itself, reminding us that even the chaos listens to Him. Today, we’re exploring how Jesus’s sovereignty invites us not just to trust Him in the storm, but to worship Him as the one who reigns above it all.

A couple of weeks ago, we explored moments where Jesus was amazed—but today, we’re flipping the script to look at how Jesus amazed others. In a world expecting a militant messiah, Jesus redefined authority through radical love, deep wisdom, and a vision for a Kingdom that turned culture on its head. Let’s dive into the end of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7 and rediscover how Jesus continues to astonish us today.

As we wrap up the New Christian Toolkit week, here’s the truth I’ve learned the hard way: following Jesus isn’t about pressure to perform or serve out of obligation—it’s about learning to live from His love. Real faith expresses itself through love, not duty, and when love leads, our service becomes joyful, genuine, and sustainable.
