In this mini-series, we are going to learn how to study the Bible.
In this first episode, we look at the necessity of experiencing spiritual heartburn.
In Luke 24, the two disciples Jesus met with on the road to Emmaus said, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
This same spiritual heartburn is needed in each of...

Do you seek after the Lord intentionally, purposefully desiring to grow spiritually … or do you live passively, hoping greater growth and intimacy will "just happen"?
For many Christians, we have become passive, lukewarm, and stale in our spiritual lives.
Yet, Biblically, we are called to seek first the Kingdom, to diligently seek after God, or, as Psalm 130 tells us, to long aft...

Life is fleeting … it's like a mist or a vapor.
When we live as if life is forever, we can quickly grow passive, complacent, or frivolous in how we live. Yet when we recognize that life is short, we begin to live each day to its fullest—for the purpose and glory of Jesus Christ.
The biblical truth that life is short is actually good news for it reminds us to live surrendered to Jesus...

Is there a secret to know God more?
Well … yes and no.
There is a "secret" but it's not locked in a box, unavailable to everyone. In fact, it is out in the open, readily available for you to experience.
So what is God's secret to know Him more?
Be still.
It sounds simple, and it is, yet it may be one of the hardest things we ever do. But if we throw off busyness an...

366 times in Scripture we are told "fear not" … but HOW?

The secret is found in Hebrews 13 where God speaks a single promise which should expel every fear and worry in our lives.
If you want to be able to stand strong in difficult seasons, live without worry and fear, then you need to know the promise that God wi...

Psalm 1 tells us that as Christians we are to find our delight in the Word of God and set our minds upon that Word day and night. To do so causes us to be like trees planted by streams of water, impervious to the circumstances which surround us.
The other option is to live in sin and be like chaff that is useless and blows away in the wind.
So where do you find your delight?

Most of us know Psalm 23 quite well – it's that great Psalm of comfort and hope amidst any circumstance.
In the uncertain and rather crazy circumstances we are currently in, we need to be reminded that Jesus is our Good Shepherd and He is actively shepherding our lives. In short, He is giving provision, protection, and direction to us just as a shepherd does with his sheep.
