The message in the book of Revelation is relevant to far more than the seven churches in Asia. Though written for that time, the message is relevant all the time. The letters focused on trials, failures, and shortcomings, but they ultimately are messages of encouragement. To each church, God says, "I Know." He knows their situation. He knows their …

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He did this with us in mind. At creation, He made sure that He created everything we would need. He did this before we were formed in our mother's womb. God has a plan for each of us and made provision for each and every one of us to fulfill that plan. God provided for Adam and Eve in the gar…

How we see God influences and shapes how we see everything else. If our problems seem too big, it is because we do not see how big our God is. The Bible recounts 37 miracles. Each speaks a specific message and conveys the power of the almighty God to those who observed them first-hand and to generations to come. These 37 miracles address every situ…

Put bluntly, there are things in life that we must get over. Something said or done many years ago is not worth carrying forward and fretting over now. We cannot dwell in the past at the expense of our future. It is said that time heals all wounds. That is sometimes true, but often, the wound does not heal because we keep picking at it. Consider, t…

We find a word of encouragement in today's text. His word picks us up when we do not have the strength to stand on our own. No matter how weak we may be, God wants us to succeed. No matter our circumstances, God wants to lift us up to help us stand. Our weakness does not disqualify us from God's love and blessing. He will walk with us and carry us …

God created the heavens and the earth. He created it to work together, and much of it functions independently. The food cycle, the water cycle, and the circle of life all work without any intervention from humanity. However, some things require our work. The Bible says God created man in His own image. When He did this, he gave man the job of maint…

We talk a lot about spiritual warfare. We have songs that declare our weapons are not guns but prayer. We also talk about God fighting our battles. If God is going to fight our battles, why do we need weapons? Is the fight ours, or is it God's? God has it decided, but we still have to walk through it sometimes. Our praise is NOT a weapon. It is som…

We must both be filled with the spirit and led by it. Acts 1 and 2 describe the initial infilling of the spirit, but the bible is clear that being filled with the spirit is more than a one-time event. Those observing the believers in the upper room that day supposed them to be drunk because of how they acted. Like being drunk, being filled with the…

In the story of the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise wins the race because he just kept going. Progress is progress, no matter how slow. People who run know the importance of pacing themselves to keep from expending all their energy and having nothing left to continue on—every step we take counts. God notices and honors every step. The people ar…

Today's text was written by a man struggling with contradictions he observed in life. On the one hand, he had learned of the goodness and love of God, but he also saw the wicked prospering while he struggled. He wondered if living for God was worth it when he said, "I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocency." This reflective…

The word full means to contain as much as possible, not lacking anything. It can also mean overflowing and overwhelming. Full can describe satisfaction or being uncomfortable. When Naomi left Bethlehem, she was full of expectation and promise. When she returned, she was empty of hope and future. The truth is that she was still full, but now she was…

Historians believe Rebecca was barren for almost 20 years before God answered her and Issac's prayer for children. She was undoubtedly excited about the news of the baby, but as the pregnancy went on, she began to sense something was wrong. The Bible describes her as feeling like a war was going on inside her. Soon, the joyfulness of her pregnancy …

We've all experienced difficult times. These times of struggle can feel like we are lost in the wilderness. We feel as if we are wandering in circles and being pulled away from our dreams. There are no shortcuts through the wilderness. God takes us on these journeys to teach or prepare us for something; we must go through them to learn the lesson. …

Some of us are incomplete works. Perhaps it is our own doing, or possibly God is not done with us. Men may drift into something without knowing the outcome, but God never does. Man acts on a whim, but God always has a purpose. He does not begin a work he does not intend to finish. However, often, His hand is interrupted by our choices and decisions…

In the beginning, the earth was dark, void, and without form. That all changed when the spirit of God moved. When the wind began to blow, things began to change. Spiritually, we can be void and without form. We need the spirit of God to move. We must allow God's wind to blow in our lives.By Tyler Stevison

Sometimes, we put deadlines on things, and when they don't happen, we are disappointed. Martha and Mary sent for Jesus because their brother was so sick. Faith was not their problem. They know where to turn in their time of need. However, Jesus did not move when they wanted Him to, and it was delayed until after Lazarus died. For some, that delay w…

Our text tells about Josiah destroying idols. An idol is not always a little statue that we worship. An idol is anything that replaces God's position. It is not the object that is the problem. The problem is in our heart. Anything that sets itself in place of God is an idol and must be destroyed. It is not enough to remove them; they must be destro…

We have all had things we did not know how to overcome. It is easy, while in the midst of difficult situations, to not be able to see an end. Those living during the 1920s thought the tough times would not end, but eventually, they did, and our nation saw prosperity like no one in the 20s could have imagined. Those present things become former thin…

Our text comes from Jesus' answer to a question about the end times. It is a truth that can deliver us from any torment that might come into our life. Understanding this will calm most any situation.
