Jesus is establishing the New Covenant whereby people no longer go to a priest to ask for forgiveness of sins, but to the Great High Priest Jesus who died for all of our sins and in our place so that we might go to heaven.  This cup of water mixed with wine...

We are looking at a passage today that is very familiar to us, but as always we need to make sure we don’t think that we know it all, none of us do.  Jesus is down to the last week of His life and He is having supper with Lazarus and the sisters Mary and Martha. ...

Here in this section of Matthew 25 we see Jesus sitting on His throne and judging all the peoples of the earth.  It is not like we grew up hearing (or at least I did) that we will all be standing in line to see if we make it to heaven based on whether we did more...

God gives each of us time, talent, and money that we are to use for the expansion of His Kingdom. In times past some had considerable responsibility and authority as some do today.  Others are not gifted in such a way as to be able to do all the things others do,...

Matthew 24 Verse 42 applies all that Jesus said beginning in verse 32. Jesus' disciples need to remain watchful because the exact time of the His return is unknown even though signs of His coming will point out His approach. Jesus continued instructing His...

David knew he needed divine guidance and instruction to be able to walk in righteousness before the Lord, but needed help in knowing exactly what to do.  Every day is a new day and opportunity to walk worthy of the calling of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Do we seek His...

The loaves of showbread were laid in the tabernacle in God’s presence for 7 days.  They were changed out every 7 days and were not laid there as a sacrifice to God for Him to eat as idolatrous people did for their so called gods. This represented several things: ...

Every day we miss the mark on the greatest commandment to Love God like He deserves. He deserves first place in all we do and the way we do it should be pleasing to Him.  The second, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" is quoted from Leviticus 19:18 and is...

Who or what is your God?  A god is anything we sacrifice to or for.  We can sacrifice all our time, money, and energy for a job, a hobby, family, or any number of things. These can be good things if put in the proper priority. We need to make sure that God is the...
