  • The Eucharist According to Matthew

    The Eucharist According to Matthew

    It is the eve of Christ’s betrayal into the hands of Israel’s chief priests and elders. From the beginning of His public preaching ministry, Jesus has been teaching that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus declares that the kingdom is here. Since Matthew is the most Jewish…

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    God kept the manna from appearing on the sabbath day. Even though they had enough, some Israelites go out to gather more on the sabbath day despite God’s instruction for them to rest. Before the Law is even given, the people refuse to keep God’s instructions. God has given the people the sabbath and provided…

  • All Eyes on Me

    All Eyes on Me

    After He predicted the destruction of the Temple, Jesus taught about the kingdom of heaven as a kingdom that the master had left in the charge of his servants during his absence. Jesus then began to prepare His disciples for His own absence and the establishment of His kingdom, which is at hand during Jesus’s…

  • The Call to Holy Living

    The Call to Holy Living

    God has made a one-sided covenant with Abram. It depends only on Him. We even saw Him remain faithful to Abram’s descendants even when Abram and Sarai were impatient and schemed to produce an heir without God. God will accomplish His plan and even carries His promise over to Hagar’s descendants even though He is…

  • The Ten Virgins

    The Ten Virgins

    Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 25 is a continuation of Matthew 24. Jesus’s disciples have asked Him when the Temple will be destroyed and what the signs will be of His judgment against Jerusalem. Jesus has been answering their question, and we are now able to look at the historical record and see that Jesus was…

    UFOs Reported Over Jerusalem

    Jesus has called Jerusalem desolate and lamented over the city. The disciples pointed out the buildings, and Jesus predicted that not one stone would be left upon another. In response, His disciples asked when the end of Jerusalem would be and what would be the signs that Christ was coming in judgment, so as to…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 2:11-25

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 2:11-25

    Moses kills an Egyptian in defense of a Hebrew slave. The story tells us that Moses recognized the Hebrew as his own people, which means he identified as a Hebrew even though he was raised an Egyptian. When Pharaoh discovers what Moses has done, he tries to kill Moses, forcing Moses to flee Egypt. Moses…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 5:11-21

    The calling on the life of the Christian is to form the world positively. We are instructed not to participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness—what Paul has already called immoral, impure, and covetous. Unfruitfulness is evil. Before we take this too far and become workaholics, we do recognize that rest to the proper degree…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:25-32

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:25-32

    Therefore, since we put on a new self in Christ and reject our natural entitled and self-absorbed ways, we lay aside falsehood and speak the truth to one another. The practice of falsehood is a selfish practice. We lie because we don’t want to be found out. We pretend to be righteous because we want…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:17-24

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:17-24

    God provides His Spirit and gifts each believer. Each believer is trained for ministry in the context of a local church. So, we no longer walk like the Gentiles, or like unbelievers. Unbelievers walk in the futility of their minds, being darkened in their understanding, and are excluded from the life of God because of…
