In Matthew 16:20, Jesus instructs the disciples not to tell anyone that he is the Messiah. This seems contradictory because we are called to share our faith with others. However, in this specific instance, Jesus had a set number of tasks to accomplish, including fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. If too many people knew too much too quickly, it would have been difficult for Jesus to complete his mission. After his resurrection, Jesus gave the Great Commission to the disciples, instructing them...

The passage for today is Matthew 16:18. It says, "I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." This verse tells us that Jesus Christ has established his church, and the forces of evil will not be able to overcome it. We are called to take part in Jesus' work of taking back His creation from the forces of evil. We can do this by serving others, praying for people, and making a difference in the lives of those aro...

The passage for today is Matthew 16:16. It says, "Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the son of the living God.'" This passage tells us that Peter clearly stated his belief about Jesus. He said that Jesus is the Messiah, the son of the living God. We are called to do the same. We should be able to clearly state our belief about Jesus to others. This doesn't mean that we have to give a long or complicated answer. It simply means that we should be able to say who Jesus is and why we belie...

In today's passage, Matthew 14:30, Peter is walking on water with Jesus. When he sees the wind, he focuses on his circumstances and begins to sink. He cries out, "Lord, save me!" This short prayer is a reminder that we can pray to Jesus in any situation, no matter how desperate it may seem. Little prayers matter. When we follow Jesus, what we say and do matters. Prayer is a dialogue between us and Jesus, and we can pray all the time. We are called to be ministers in the marketplace, serving othe...

The passage for today is Matthew 14:28. It says, "Lord, if it is you, Peter answered him, command me to come to you on the water." In this passage, Peter is asking Jesus to command him to come to Him on the water. This is a prayer, even though it doesn't look like one at first glance. Prayer is simply talking to God. It can be formal or informal, long or short. The important thing is that we are communicating with God and seeking His will for our lives. Peter's prayer is a good example of how we...

In John 5:25, Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live." This means that Jesus brings life to those who believe in Him. We can help others come to know Jesus by living our lives differently, because we follow Him. We can pray for people, appreciate them, be prepared to answer questions about our faith, and serve others. When we do these things, people may notice and ask us why we a...

In this video, we explore the concept of giving life in the context of following Jesus. We delve into John 5:21, where Jesus declares his authority to grant life to whomever he chooses, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life. We reflect on the idea that people who do not follow Jesus are not necessarily "lost" or "dead" in a negative sense, but rather separated from true life and separated from Jesus, who is the source of life. We emphasize the significance of helping others disc...

In the Gospel of John, we encounter a compelling dialogue between Jesus and his disciples. As they navigate the tumultuous journey of ministry, Jesus proposes a seemingly audacious plan - to return to Judea, where just days before, the Jewish authorities had attempted to stone him. The disciples, understandably apprehensive, question his decision, prompting Jesus' profound response. This exchange offers a valuable lesson for us as followers of Christ. When Jesus presents us with challenging or s...

The passage for today is John 6:47, which says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life." This verse tells us that eternal life is not something that we get in the future, but something that we have now. We can experience eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ. When we live our lives for Jesus, we are living in eternal life. We are not afraid to take risks or do things that are difficult, because we know that we have nothing to lose. We are free to love others and serve...

In today's passage, John 6:35, Jesus says, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." This means that Jesus is the source of all that we need to sustain us, both physically and spiritually. We often think of Jesus as the answer to our spiritual needs, but He is also the answer to our physical needs. He can provide us with food, water, and shelter. He can also give us the strength and courage to face whatever challenges we...

The passage for today is Acts 5:42. It says, "And every day in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ." This verse tells us that the apostles were committed to sharing their faith with others. They did this by teaching and preaching about Jesus, both in the temple and from house to house. We can follow the example of the apostles by being intentional about sharing our faith with others. We can do this by talking to our friends, family, a...

In Acts 5:40, the apostles Peter and John were flogged and ordered not to speak in the name of Jesus after being released from jail. Despite this unfair treatment, they rejoiced and continued to preach the gospel. As followers of Christ, we may also face unfair treatment and challenging circumstances. It's important to be prepared for these situations and to trust God to make things right. We should not whine or complain, but instead, we should ask God to use our circumstances for His glory. We ...

The main idea of this podcast episode is that fearing the Lord is the most important thing in life. This means living our lives in a way that reflects his character and doing what he says. When we fear the Lord, we are a blessing to others and we will be praised by him. The passage for today is Proverbs 31:30, which says, "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." The author of Proverbs is challenging us to remember that we are not God and that we s...

In Proverbs 30:8-9, the author prays for enough provision to live, neither poverty nor riches, lest he be tempted to deny God or steal and profane His name. This verse teaches us to be content with what we have and to trust God to provide for our needs. It's important to have ambition, but our ambition should be centered on Christ, not on stuff, rewards, or accolades. We should aim to follow Jesus and do His will, rather than pursuing our own selfish desires. When we aim too high, we are tempted...

The passage for today is Proverbs 29:11. It says, "A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back." This verse teaches us that it is important to control our anger. When we lose our temper, we are acting like a fool. But when we are able to hold back our anger, we are acting like a wise person. There are many reasons why it is important to control our anger. First, when we lose our temper, we say and do things that we later regret. We may hurt the feelings of others, or we may even...

The passage for today is Proverbs 28:1. It says, "The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion." This verse tells us that the wicked are afraid even when there is no danger, while the righteous are confident and secure. This is because the wicked know that they are deserving of punishment, while the righteous know that they are forgiven by God. We can be righteous by trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation. When we do this, we are forgiven for our sins and we beco...

The passage for today is Proverbs 27:12. It says, "A sensible person sees danger and takes cover. The inexperienced keep going and are punished." This verse teaches us that it is important to be aware of the dangers around us and to take steps to protect ourselves from them. If we are not careful, we can easily get into trouble. As Christians, we should be especially careful to avoid the dangers that can lead us away from God. These dangers include things like temptation, sin, and worldliness. I...

The passage for today is Proverbs 26:12. It says, "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." This verse tells us that it is dangerous to think that we know everything. When we think we know it all, we stop learning and growing. We also become arrogant and prideful, which are both sins. Humility is the opposite of arrogance. It is being honest with ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses. It is also being open to learning new things and growin...
