Life and the curse of sin weigh us down. If we try to go it alone, we will only fail. We must instead rely on Christ who gives power to the faint.
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.
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.
They Cried the More
A crowd told two blind men to be silent, but they cried the more and were healed. What can we learn about crowds, needs, and calls for help in this account?
Temptation
Temptation is the trial of man's fidelity, integrity, virtue, constancy - it's an enticement to sin. We look to James 1:12-15 for more information.
Study to Teach
Timothy was to read, come alongside others, and learn sound teaching. He was to embrace the truth and act upon it. This was his concentration in ministry.
Study Means Learning
Scripture does more than just teach; it changes us. Many times it does so by giving us information and insight we can get nowhere else.
Study Means Action
Serious disciples, committed Christians, victorious believers, don't just give the Bible a quick glance. We examine it in the way James 1:22-25 describes.
Study is Transforming
The Bible is a unique book in history. Its truth is used by God every day to penetrate the hearts of men and alter them for eternity.
Study is Important
Among the questions we ask on this edition: why is it important that we study scripture? And what does Jesus say scripture does for us?
