What is Purgatory? Well, it is a place in the afterlife where people are believed to go while they wait for people to pray them into heaven. Think of it like a transportation center. An airport, train station, bus stop, et cetera. Basically, purgatory is thought to be a place where you're waiting to see if you qualify to get into heaven. If you don…

Jesus is God. If that statement is true, why did it take Him 3 days to rise from the dead? He is God and could have risen immediately. Or he could have survived the crucifixion. That would have been amazing and unheard of. It definitely would have gone down in history. There are a few reasons why Jesus allowed His earthly body to remain dead for th…

Last week you learned more about many of the different terms that the Bible uses to discuss Hell. It is a real place and a state of being that you never want to experience. It may surprise you to learn that the place we traditionally think of as Hell, the final place of eternal torment, is actually empty. Hell was made as a final prison for Satan, …

How do you know what term is Hell and what may be something else? And what is Hell? You need to understand that it is a real plac…

God wants you to do good in secret. This is a powerful message that we should all take to heart. It's easy to get caught up in the desire for recognition and praise, but true goodness comes from doing good deeds without seeking any reward or acknowledgment. Think about it - when you do something kind for someone else, are you doing it because you g…

Jesus taught us how to pray on many occasions. Unfortunately, we often fail to apply His teachings to our lives. One method of prayer we need to apply is called the Gethsemane prayer. This type of praying is a format for us to follow. Jesus provided it for us on the night He was betrayed. He was going through a very tough time and He was in great a…

WWJD is a popular acronym that many people know. The idea behind it is that anytime you encounter a situation, you are to ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? Then, that is what you are supposed to do. Although this seems like a very simple concept, it is incredibly difficult. Remembering to think WWJD in the heat of the moment can be tough. In addit…

As you start this new year it is important to remember who you are and who God made you to be. You need to be your own person.

Everyone else is taken. God ma…

Today you will learn more about Judas Iscariot. You've probably heard of him and recognize him to be the disciple that betrayed Jesus. However, there is more to his story.

Simon the Zealot is another apostle with a title. His title of being a Zealot is used to differentiate him from all of the other Simons in the Bible. In addition, it could also be part of his identity. As a traditional Zealot, he would have been a devout follower of Jewish law. He would have hated tax collectors, sinners, and the Roman rule. He wou…

Judas Thaddaeus is not to be confused with Judas Iscariot. In fact, he is also known as Jude or Thaddaeus to help distinguish him. Jude was a disciple who had in mind the things of the world.

In addition, he was most likely educated and there i…

Matthew, also known as Levi, was a tax collector. Although this may not be a big deal in today's society, back then it was a problem. Tax collectors were hated. They were notorious for receiving other people's money and lending it out at high-interest rates to make a profit for themselves. Kind of like credit card companies. Jesus called Matthew. A…

You've probably heard of Thomas before. Probably due to the saying "Doubting Thomas." It's unfortunate that Thomas is known as the doubter. However, it can serve to teach us a valuable lesson today. Thomas was someone who needed to see something in order to believe it. He needed all the facts and evidence. He was a skeptic by nature. Still, he was …

Despite what people choose to believe, humans can only focus on one thing. We cannot multi-task or have loyalty to two places. Whether it's work, friends, events, et cetera. No matter what it is, we always end up with one taking priority over the other. God knows this, which is why we are commanded to only have one master. That master needs to be G…

Who do you serve? You may think you serve God. However, you must make an active choice. You are either with or against God. There is no "on the fence". What does that mean?

You need to forgive to be forgiven. Wait a minute, last week we talked about how God has already forgiven you. Now, you need to forgive in order to be forgiven. That sounds contradictory. God has forgiven you. Jesus paid the price for your sins. You need to be willing to receive that. In addition, you need to forgive others as Christ forgave you. Y…
