Read: Genesis 3:1-24Philippians 2:1-18Luke 23:33-34 The Choice of How to Live Secure LivesIn Genesis 1 and 2, the biblical authors invite us to see a life-and-death choice that humans have to make. Will we live freely and forever in God’s abundant world (represented by the garden of Eden) by joining his own way of ruling the world according to his wisdom? Or will we try to rule according to our ow...  Read More

Read: Joshua 1:7-9Matthew 6:25-34Philippians 4:19 The Nature of God’s KingdomWhy do we deadbolt our doors at night, or lock our cars, windows, and computers? With threats of injury and loss lurking everywhere, we learn to love personal security above anything else. And Jesus values security too. The New Testament authors do not portray him as reckless or blind to our reality. But when he joins us ...  Read More

Read: John 3:16John 20:24-29Matthew 7:8 Thomas EncounterHas this thought ever crossed your mind? “What if, when I die, it turns out there is no God after all?” As Christians, we’ve been taught to push these doubts aside—to just have faith because our salvation depends on believing:For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have ...  Read More

Read: Matthew 27:22-24John 20:19Revelation 3:20 Behind Locked DoorsHave you ever seen an angry mob?In 2007, Yeshua Ministries held a concert in Kathmandu, where over 30,000 people gathered. A 50-meter barricade had been set up for safety, but the crowd, wanting a closer glimpse of us, grew restless and turned into a mob, breaking through the barriers. In the middle of my second song, the army had ...  Read More

This becomes even more apparent during their encounter on the beach after Jesus’ resurre...  Read More

Read: Luke 24:13-35 Road to EmmausStudying the life and person of Jesus never ceases to amaze me. I love how we can revisit the same stories we’ve heard all our lives and receive new revelations each time.Such as the account of the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). This is one of those stories that brings me new insights every time I reflect on it.Imagine the distress and confusion ...  Read More

Greear as he takes a deeper look at Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew, revealing the ways we should see ourselves in Jesus’s story.Jesus died for us so that he could be alive in us today....  Read More

Read: Matthew 6:13 The Lord’s Prayer ends the way it began: by exalting God. As Jesus teaches us to pray, it is worth noting that the prayer is very God-centered, and not at all self-centered. That does not mean that it’s wrong for us to pray for ourselves. In fact, Peter tells us to cast our cares on Him. But when we pray, there should be no doubt that it ultimately is all about God.Here we are e...  Read More

Read: Matthew 6:13 The Bible teaches us in James 1 that God does not tempt anyone. So this may seem like an odd request that God not “bring us into temptation.” God does not tempt us, but in many instances, He does allow us to face temptation. Job was tempted to curse God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were tempted to commit idolatry. Even Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.While we do not have...  Read More

Read: Matthew 6:12 Forgiveness is a two-way street. We cannot simply receive it; we must also offer it to others. Jesus makes this clear in a couple of places in Scripture. After He finishes the Lord’s Prayer, He says, “For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well. But if you don’t forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing.”Remember a...  Read More

Read: Matthew 6:12 What debt do we owe to God? We owe Him obedience, faithfulness, and worship. Why? Simply because His greatness demands it. He is worthy of our worship, and therefore, we owe it to Him. And we have failed. Each one of us is guilty of falling short (Romans 3:23). Here we fall on the mercy of the cross and resurrection of Christ, and we ask Him to forgive us for our failure.Confess...  Read More
