What God Says When We Repent | Haggai 1:9–15

August 2, 2026 • 26 mins
Have you ever been through a season when nothing seemed to work? The car and the water heater die in the same month. You finally get a little ahead financially, and an unexpected bill shows up. You work harder than ever and somehow end up further behind. Most of the time we can't say for certain why hard seasons happen — but in Haggai 1:9–15, God tells His people exactly what He says when we repent, and what was really ...

Do Not Despise the Day of Small Things: God Takes Pleasure in Faithful Work

July 26, 2026 • 24 mins
One of the most fitting verses for our homes is one you will almost never see on a plaque or wall hanging: Zechariah 4:10, which warns us not to despise the day of small things. Most of our days are filled with small, ordinary tasks, and we are tempted to look right past them. Yet this is exactly the trap the returning Jews fell into while rebuilding the temple—until God sent the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to tell the...

Put God First: Stop Delaying Obedience | Haggai 1:1–8

July 17, 2026 • 28 mins
Last time, I gave you an overview of the Book of Ezra so we'd have a foundation for understanding Haggai. You might remember we read Ezra 4:24, which says the work on the house of God stopped for sixteen years — and then, in the very next verse, Ezra 5:1 says Haggai and Zechariah began prophesying, and the people got back to work. I told you then that you were probably wondering what Haggai actually said to get people working...

Overview of the Book of Ezra: We Never Plan to Stop for Long

July 5, 2026 • 28 mins
The Book of Ezra records one of the most remarkable moments in Israel's history: the return of the Jews from seventy years of exile in Babylon. This overview of the Book of Ezra will give you the framework you need to understand the post-exilic period — the three returns from exile, the rebuilding of the temple, and why the prophet Haggai had to preach to a people who had stopped working on God's house. But more than history,...

The Ascension of Jesus: He Lifted His Hands and Blessed Them (Luke 24:50–53)

June 29, 2026 • 26 mins
Ask almost any Christian to tell you the Easter story, and they can: the cross on Friday, the grave on Saturday, the stone rolled away on Sunday, the empty tomb, the folded grave clothes, the risen Lord, and the disciples who could hardly believe their eyes. We have built an entire season of the year around that account. But ask what happened next — the ascension of Jesus — and many believers are not sure what...

Proclaiming the Gospel to All Nations: Witnesses Empowered by the Holy Spirit | Luke 24:47-49

June 22, 2026 • 28 mins
Proclaiming the gospel to all nations is not an optional assignment for especially gifted Christians. It is part of Christ’s final instructions to His people. In Luke 24:47–49, Jesus tells His disciples that “repentance for the forgiveness of sins” must be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Then He calls them witnesses and promises them power from on high. https://youtu.be/S...

Repentance for the Forgiveness of Sins: Not Penance but Christ

June 15, 2026 • 52 mins
Repentance for the forgiveness of sins is the message Jesus gave His disciples after His resurrection. He did not tell them to preach: penance for the forgiveness of sins religious works for the forgiveness of sins or self-punishment for the forgiveness of sins He told them that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name. One of the most important questions anyone can ask is, “How...

The Word of the Lord Fulfilled in Christ (Isaiah 55:10-11 and Hebrews 4:12-13)

June 8, 2026 • 24 mins
The Word of the Lord fulfilled in Christ is one of the great themes running through all of Scripture. From the opening words of Genesis to the risen Christ explaining the Old Testament in Luke 24, the Bible reveals one unified story: God speaks, God promises, God sends His Word, and that Word is ultimately Jesus Christ. https://youtu.be/zg74q5OenbU Table of contentsThe Word of the Lord Created All ThingsThe Word of the Lord...

God’s Compassion for Sinners in Luke 15:20-21

June 4, 2026 • 26 mins
One of the most beautiful truths in Scripture is God’s compassion for sinners. Many people imagine God the Father as harsh, distant, angry, and reluctant to forgive, while they see Jesus as merciful, gentle, and willing to receive sinners. But the Bible never presents the Father and Son as divided in heart, will, or purpose. The Father is not trying to destroy sinners while the Son holds Him back. Rather, the Father Himself p...

Proof of the Resurrection: How Jesus Handled Doubt in Luke 24:36–43

June 1, 2026 • 25 mins
The proof of the resurrection in Luke 24:37–43 is not vague, symbolic, or merely emotional. Jesus did not ask His disciples to believe in a resurrection without evidence. He stood before them, showed them His hands and feet, invited them to touch Him, and even ate in front of them. The risen Christ graciously helped troubled, doubting disciples believe what was gloriously true. For the last few weeks, we have been walking ...

Jesus’ First Words After the Resurrection: “Peace to You” (Luke 24:36)

There are moments in life when the next few words out of someone’s mouth mean everything. Jesus’ first words after the resurrection were one of those moments. After His disciples had abandoned Him, denied Him, doubted Him, and failed Him, the risen Christ stood among them and said, “Peace to you” (Luke 24:36). https://youtu.be/4qKxuCTXvRA Table of contentsWhen First Words MatterJesus Began His Minist...

When Jesus Opens Our Eyes and Sets Our Hearts on Fire (Luke 24:28–35)

May 20, 2026 • 60 mins
Have you ever read the Bible, heard the truth, and still felt like you could not see Christ as clearly as you should? Luke 24:28–35 reminds us that Jesus opens our eyes in His timing, warms our hearts through His Word, and gives us urgency to tell others that He is risen. For the last two weeks, we have been walking with two disciples along the road to Emmaus. Jesus drew near to them as a stranger, listened to their grief,...

Jesus Is Our Sabbath Rest

May 14, 2026 • 54 mins
Jesus is our Sabbath rest, which means Christians no longer look to one day, one land, or one law for the rest God provides. The Sabbath was good, but it pointed beyond itself to something greater. Under the New Covenant, believers find true rest in Christ—rest from striving to earn salvation, rest from the crushing burden of law-keeping, and rest in the finished work of our Savior. That does not mean Christians become laz...

How the Old Testament Points to Jesus in Luke 24:22–27

May 11, 2026 • 52 mins
One of the most important lessons in Luke 24:22–27 is how the Old Testament points to Jesus. On the road to Emmaus, two discouraged disciples had the evidence of the resurrection, but they still lacked understanding. They knew the tomb was empty. They knew the women had reported that angels said Jesus was alive. They knew others had gone to the tomb and confirmed the women’s report. Yet they still did not believe. h...

Why Jesus’ Disciples Were Discouraged on the Road to Emmaus

May 4, 2026 • 56 mins
The road to Emmaus account in Luke 24 shows us two disciples who saw the physical facts clearly but missed the spiritual reality entirely. They knew Jesus had been crucified. They had heard reports about the empty tomb. They even knew it was the third day. But despite having the facts, they did not understand what God was doing through Christ's death and resurrection. These two disciples were not enemies of Jesus. They were not ...

How Young Men Overcome the Evil One: Strength, Self-Control, and God’s Word

Young men overcome the evil one not by willpower alone, but by spiritual strength, self-control, and the Word of God abiding in them. That is exactly what John teaches in 1 John 2:13–14, and it is a message young men desperately need in a culture that seems designed to weaken, distract, and tempt them.

Spiritual Blindness and Spiritual Sight: How Jesus Opens Our Eyes (Mark 8:22-26 and John 9:11-41)

April 20, 2026 • 48 mins
Spiritual blindness and spiritual sight are at the heart of Mark 8 and John 9. In these passages, Jesus shows that people can have functioning physical eyes yet remain blind to spiritual truth. One blind man sees dimly before seeing clearly, while another grows step by step in his understanding of Christ until he finally worships Him. At the same time, the Pharisees reveal the danger of self-righteousness, because though they claim...

Why Do Christians Worship on Sunday? Resurrection, the Lord’s Day, and Sabbath Rest

April 19, 2026 • 60 mins
Why do Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? In Part 1, we saw that the seventh-day Sabbath belonged to the Old Covenant mediated by Moses and given to Israel. In Part 2, we move from the covenantal foundation to the New Testament evidence. The resurrection of Jesus on the first day of the week, the worship pattern of the early church, and the fulfillment of the Sabbath in Christ all help explain why Christians gather o...

Remember His Words — Responding to the Resurrection (Luke 24:7–12)

April 13, 2026 • 47 mins
Responding to the resurrection is not merely about celebrating Easter once a year. It is about how we interpret the empty tomb, how we respond to Christ’s promises, and how we live in light of Jesus' resurrection. In Luke 24:7–12, we see that the resurrection calls for more than admiration. It calls for remembrance, faith, witness, and wonder. One of the great comforts in the Christian life is knowing that our faith ...
