Jesus loved you with His life
By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. (1 John 3:16) Love is not just a feeling, it is a choice to act. It is a demonstrated desire to put someone else’s needs above your own. Love is an […]

True Salvation (Luke 8:4-15)
The Parable of the Sower and the Soils As a large crowd was gathering, and people were flocking to Him from every town, [Jesus] said in a parable: “A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky […]
Jesus is your guaranteed inheritance
For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. (Hebrews 10:34-35) The world has its values system of what matters and […]

The Father’s Delight (Luke 3:22b)
You are my beloved Son. I take delight in you. (Luke 3:22b) The steadfast, unchanging posture of God the Father toward God the Son is not dutiful acceptance, but glorious delight. The scandalous, unbelievable truth of the Gospel is that for those who are united with Jesus by grace through faith, the position He has […]
Consistent Fruit (Luke 3:8)
Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourself, “We have Abraham as our father,” for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! (Luke 3:8) There’s no point in saying “Jesus changed my life” if your life hasn’t really changed. Anyone can pray […]
Jesus has a crown of righteousness for you
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. (2 Timothy 4:8) Judgment Day is coming. Only God the Father knows the exact hour, but the […]
