From Passivity to Passionate Prayer

Luke 18:1-8 — In a parable, Jesus tells of an unjust judge who reluctantly gave justice to a widow only due to her persistent asking. For both Jesus’ disciples and us today, the knowledge that our heavenly Father is nothing like this judge should propel us from passivity to a life of persistent, hope-filled, passionate prayer; seeking His kingdom here on earth with every breath.

From Grumbling To Gratitude

1 Thes 5:16-18; Phil 2:14-16 — In his Epistles, the Apostle Paul repeatedly instructs his readers to give thanks in all circumstances. Far easier said than done, this instruction could not be more relevant to us today: like the world around us, discontentment can easily become our default setting. But as believers, we ought to to be marked by a gratitude unaffected by circumstance, that we might ‘shine as lights in the world’ for Christ.

From Distraction to Devotion

Revelation 2:1-7 — In John’s vision of Christ, Jesus commends the church of Ephesus for its endurance, but calls it to repent for abandoning its ‘first love’. As Christians, we cannot afford to forsake our love for Christ. And in a restless world such as ours, it has never been more important (and challenging!) to put aside distraction that we might live in wholehearted devotion to Him.

The Saving, Sovereign, Sending God

Jonah 4:1-11 — In a surprising and confronting ending, the Lord’s sparing of Nineveh caused Jonah to become so angry that he wished for his own death. Full of twists and turns, Jonah’s account causes us to consider a God whose grace is greater than our failings; whose ways are much higher than ours; and who radically moves our hearts to contend for those around us: The Saving, Sovereign, Sending God.
