📖 In Matthew 4:1–11, we are given a powerful example of spiritual warfare. Grab your bibles, a journal, and a pen! After fasting for forty days and forty nights, Jesus was hungry, physically weak, and yet spiritually prepared. Before beginning His earthly ministry, He was led into the wilderness to be tempted by satan. This moment wasn’t an accident, it was intentional. God ordained. Jesus was teaching us how to stand firm when temptation comes. Notice that Jesus did not arg

I am coming out of 1 Kings 19 where Prophet Elijah just killed all the false prophets and Ahab went home and snitched on him to Jezebel and she threatened to kill him so he ran into the wilderness and fell asleep under a tree. 1 Kings 19: 5-8 (NLT) 5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat! ” 6 He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So

From the very beginning, Jesus was never an afterthought. Genesis does not mention His earthly name, but His presence, promise, and purpose are woven all throughout the book. In Genesis, we see Jesus as the Word through whom creation came to be. When God spoke, life appeared. John 1:1 reminds us, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” We see Jesus in the promised Seed in Genesis 3:15, where God declares that the offspring of the woma

Reading/Study Time: 30 Min- 1Hr 📖 Main Scripture: Ezekiel 18:20–32 In Ezekiel 18:20–32, God reveals something powerful about His heart toward sinners: He is just, but He is also deeply merciful. The passage makes it clear that every person is responsible for their own choices before God. No one is condemned because of another person’s sin, and no one is automatically made righteous because of another person’s relationship with God. The Lord looks at the individual heart. Wha

“The Sabbath Was Made for Restoration, Not Religion” Key Focus: Matthew 12 reveals that Jesus was confronting religious legalism, not the holiness of rest. The Pharisees were more focused on rules than people, while Jesus showed that doing good, healing, teaching, feeding people, and fulfilling God’s will are never sinful. Main Scriptures Matthew 12:1–14, 43-50 Isaiah 42:1–4 Hosea 6:6 Mark 2:27–28 Study Breakdown 1. Jesus and the Disciples Ate on the Sabbath Matthew 12:1–8 Th

To “contend,” according to Merriam-Webster, means to compete for something, to argue or assert that a statement is true. In our case as believers, I believe Jude was telling us to fight for our faith, our belief that Jesus is real and He is the only one true King. Jude was clearly facing opposition, which is why we believe he wrote this letter to motivate us to keep pushing forward, stay alert, and keep the Holy Spirit leading, guiding, and revealing truth to us. Why Study Ju

(Before you start to read, we want to encourage you to grab your Bible, your journal and something to write with.) 📖 Main Scripture: Isaiah 65:24 “I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!” Background: Isaiah 65 is God’s response through the Prophet Isaiah to the cries and prayers found in Isaiah 63:7 through 64:12. The Gentiles believed God had gone silent on them and had finall
