Fasting isn’t just an ancient practice or a modern health trend. In the eyes of Jesus, it’s a sacred discipline meant to shift our hunger from the physical to the spiritual. In Matthew 6:16-18, Jesus says something subtle but telling: “When you fast…” Not if. When. That single word reveals a foundational truth: Jesus expected […]
Empty For You
We usually don’t associate “empty” with something beautiful. Empty hands. Empty hearts. Empty promises. Yet, there’s one moment in history where empty meant everything—and it changed everything. This moment is captured in Matthew 28:5-6, when an angel told the women at Jesus’ tomb: “Do not be afraid… He is not here, for He has risen, […]
Change The World
There are moments in Scripture that feel like a call to arms, a charge that pierces right through the noise of modern life. One of those is found in Matthew 5:13–16, where Jesus tells us plainly: “You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world.” We’ve heard these verses before. […]
Jesus Is Greater
There’s a moment in Scripture that captures something profound about who Jesus is—and it happens in a synagogue with a man who’s ashamed of his own hand. But before we go there, let’s set the stage: we all face something. Stress, shame, anxiety, fear, sin—our stories differ, but the burdens feel familiar. What if the […]
The Purpose of Jesus
Jesus didn’t come to earth to merely refine old religious traditions—He came to bring something entirely new. He wasn’t looking to put a patch on a worn-out system. Instead, He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice, fulfilling the law and bringing us into a direct relationship with God. Many of us struggle with the idea […]
Desperate for Jesus
What does it take for someone to pursue Jesus with everything they have? Sometimes, it’s not comfort but desperation. When life falls apart, when all other options fail, that’s when many finally turn to Jesus. The story of the royal official in John 4:46-54 is one of desperate faith. His son was dying, and though […]
He Must Increase
There’s someone in your life who needs Jesus. It might be a friend, a coworker, or even a family member. But have you invited them to church? If not, you’re not alone—statistics show that while 82% of unchurched people would attend church if invited, only 2% of Christians actually invite them. It’s time to change […]
Jesus Cleanses
Many people misunderstand the order of salvation. They think they need to get their life together before coming to Jesus. But that’s completely backward. Romans 5:8 tells us, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus doesn’t wait for you to clean up your life before He enters it. He steps in first, […]
Standing Strong
Temptation is a universal experience. No one escapes it—not even Jesus, the sinless Son of God. Matthew 4:8-11 recounts the final temptation Jesus faced during His forty days in the wilderness. Satan offered Him all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for His worship. On the surface, it seems absurd—why would Satan offer something […]
Unlocking The Mystery
In Daniel 9, a captivating scene unfolds as the angel Gabriel brings a prophecy to Daniel—a prophecy that spans centuries and foretells the arrival of the Messiah with uncanny precision. These verses in Daniel 9, often called the “backbone of biblical prophecy,” carry the profound message of God’s unfolding plan. As Gabriel speaks, we gain […]
