“Hard Works, Pays Off”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 29-30 These guys were exhausted! They had spent the last two hours in the hot sun wearing all their football gear soaked in sweat, and maybe even a little blood, from the cleat to the arm. They could barely even make it to the water hose as they soaked up every ounce they could to stay hydrated. …
“How would you react?”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 26-28 Have you ever felt as though you deserved something? Maybe it was a spot on the team, a promotion or a raise, only to have someone else come and just take it away from you. It just doesn’t seem fair to have someone come and take what you feel rightfully belongs to you. It isn’t right to be overlooked for something that you feel that you deserve. I…
“Praying for our Relationships”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 24-25 Several years ago, a co-worker of mine introduced me to “echo”. “Echo” is a prayer app for your phone that allows you to insert various things you need to pray about. At random times during the day you might hear a simple bleep or buzz to remind you to take just a moment to pray…
“Timing is Everything”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 20-23 How many times have we heard the expression “timing is everything”? If the quarterback had thrown the pass a split-second sooner, it would have been a touchdown. If I had not looked up when I did, I would have caused a major accident. Over and over we are continually reminded that seconds matter, timing…
“Learning from Sarah’s Mistake”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 12-16 What was Sarah thinking? How could she have possibly thought that it was a good idea for her husband to sleep with her handmaid and bear a child? In hindsight we can see that she quickly discovered that was a poor decision on her part, yet in the moment she felt that was…
“The True Meaning of the Rainbow”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 8-11 In recent years, the rainbow has become a symbol of acceptance and tolerance. However, when it was originally created, its intended meaning was anything but acceptance and tolerance. God’s implementation of the rainbow was done at the conclusion of the flood to make a covenant that God would never destroy the earth again by water. The rainbow was…
“The Brevity of Life”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 4-7 The life span of an average human being in 2019 is seventy-one years old. To a four-year-old child that could seem like an eternity, but to a 68-year-old man it seems like the blink of an eye. I guess it is all relative depending on whose point of view you are looking at. However, 969…
“It Is All for You!”
BIBLE READING: Genesis 1-3 As we look back and reflect on the Creation story, it is easy for us to get caught up in the unknowns, “Why did God do this? How did God do that? Where does God come from?” We can be so carried away with what we don’t know that we overlook what we do know. …
“Victory”
Throughout the book of Revelation, God has encouraged struggling believers to remain steadfast because ultimate victory would be found in Jesus Christ. Even though the present section is the most debated chapter in Revelation it contains the clearest…
“The fall of Babylon”
“’Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!’” (Revelation 18:2). Babylon is symbolic of a great enemy of God. In this symbolism God revealed that all who stood in opposition to Him would taste total defeat. The world’s allurements…
“The Revealing of God’s Vengeance”
Moses was a unique man who had been blessed by God with many wonderful talents. He had the unique opportunity to be born a Hebrew, but raised as an Egyptian, enabling him to be the perfect choice for God to be the man to lead His people out of Egypt. He was an exceptional shepherd and amazing leader and the Bible is…
“The Good News”
When we first read Revelation 12 and the story of the woman giving birth and a dragon seeking to devour the child, the imagery can…
