  • Thank God for the Gospel of John

    John 1:16-18, CEB From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace;      as the Law was given through Moses,     so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God.     God the only Son,         who is at the Father’s side,         has made God known.…

  • The Light Has Come…so what?

    John 1:9-10, CEB The true light that shines on all people    was coming into the world.  The light was in the world,    and the world came into being through the light,        but the world didn’t recognize the light. Genesis 1:3-5, CEB God said, “Let there be light.” And so light appeared. God saw how good the light was. God separated…

  • In the Beginning, Jesus

    John 1:1-5, CEB In the beginning was the Word     and the Word was with God     and the Word was God. Genesis 1:1-2, NIV In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God…

  • The Path of Blessing

    Malachi 3:5-12 “Yes, I’m on my way to visit you with Judgment. I’ll present compelling evidence against sorcerers, adulterers, liars, those who exploit workers, those who take advantage of widows and orphans, those who are inhospitable to the homeless—anyone and everyone who doesn’t honor me.” A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies. “I am God—yes, I Am. I…

  • Joel’s Prophecy Was About You

    “Then, after doing all those things,     I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy.     Your old men will dream dreams,     and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit     even on servants—men and women alike. And I…

  • How Can Both Be True?

    Ezekiel 18:19-22 “‘What?’ you ask. ‘Doesn’t the child pay for the parent’s sins?’ No! For if the child does what is just and right and keeps my decrees, that child will surely live.  The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the…
