I know that story! Maybe so, but the Bible is like an onion with many layers. A new tidbit about the wise man’s house built on rock strengthens the lesson.

‘Go the extra mile’ originated with Jesus. It shocked His original audience and demanded a radical attitude adjustment. Could we transform the world with love?

Does Jesus really want us to turn the other cheek and accept abuse? NO!!! Let’s resist retaliation by offering the left cheek.

Have you ever wanted to know (or needed to know) God’s will for your life? Does God reveal His will? How can we know?

Jesus is baptized and immediately thrown into the wilderness for a test. Why? What are the test questions? How does Jesus respond? Why does He want us to know?

Showing is better than telling which makes object lessons more memorable. Jesus brings his disciples to Caesarea Philippi for this lesson and a mid-term exam.

Do you find Bible reading, well… boring? Difficult? Prefer a devotion that spells it out? Me too! Then I joined a study group and caught fire. Here’s why…

Jesus never did miracles just for fun or to draw attention to Himself. They always benefited others. So why turn water to wine?

Before Christmas existed as its own holiday, the church celebrated Epiphany. Jesus’ birth was part of the church feast, but another event was primary. Which event? Why? What does it tell us?

Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, isn’t a day I learned about growing up. The Magi’s visit is displays the inclusiveness of God’s love for humanity.
