Acts 6:8-8:3 As the stones hurled towards Stephen’s head and shattered his skull, they did more than end the life of a godly man. These stones were the tools of God to get His church unstuck. What?! The tools of God? Weren’t these stones a cruel act by a vicious and...

Acts 2:1-47 In our day one of the biggest challenges to the church is the fact that the identity of Jesus is becoming much distorted in our general culture. More and more people are becoming “spiritual” and are seeking spiritual truths. Many people are also being open...

John 6:25-70 The title of this devotional could have also been “Thinning out the Crowd,” or, “Scaring off the looky-lous.” When Jesus told the people that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood, did He mean that literally? Of course not. There are three reasons...

John 3:1-4:42 When contrasting these two conversations we see the whole point of the gospel in a nutshell. Jesus came to preach the good news that He was the Messiah, the Light of the World, the Living Water, the Son of God, and that through believing in Him all men...
