Our only hope for successful ministry is to allow Christ to work within us. Because our assignment is to shine as lights in a very dark world.
Category: Take Note
Every day from 5:00 to 6:00 PM live, we ask you to Take Note of a theme or topic from the word of God. The podcast version is a 10-minute recap.
Not Seen
Faithful disciples of Christ often face persecution. We are capable of enduring when we focus on that which is not seen and avoid fixation on the temporal.
Everlasting Life
A person with questions about life and death, heaven and hell, or their soul and the future cannot find a better place to begin reading than John 3:16-21.
Whosoever Will
Jesus described His upcoming mistreatment, death, and resurrection in this passage. Peter didn't see the bigger picture and received a well-deserved rebuke.
Endure All Things
Thinking of others, not himself, Paul would endure all things for those who have not yet believed. He was an example for Timothy and is an example for us today.
In All Things
Paul asks Timothy to consider his words in 2 Timothy 2:1-7. He uses the experiences of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer to relate to his Christian ministry.
Yet the Youngest
When Samuel was sent to select a king from among Jesse's sons, he was told by God not to look on the outward appearance, for God sees the heart.
Power to the Faint
Life and the curse of sin will weigh upon us, and without God, we can only buckle. When we wait on God, there is no limit to our energy, because He grants it.
An Advocate
Believers should know that we have all the tools we need to be victorious over sin. But it's also important to be reminded that we have an advocate in Christ.
God is Light
Whatever darkness shades any part of our lives, God - when given access to that part - can lift it. Our text in 1 John 1:5-9 makes it clear that God is light!
Courage
Joshua is about to lead Israel into one of the most important periods of their history in Joshua 1:1-10. What can we learn from his command to have courage?
The Beginning of Knowledge
The opening portion of Proverbs has much to say about knowledge. We focus on Proverbs 1:1-9 today and touch on many of the book's recurring themes.
