Joshua marked the crossing of the Jordan River with a stone monument commemorating God’s gracious deliverance. As we celebrate 175 years, we see God’s hand of blessing with us.
Jesus calls us salt and light. As we let our lights shine, God is praised and others might learn about his grace and mercy.
Just as God called his disciples to be fishers of people, God uses us and grants his blessings to others through us.
We are redeemed children of God, bought with the blood of Christ. God calls us by name. We belong to him. We know our identity in Jesus.
Christ’s life on earth assures us that God’s wrath against sin has been fully satisfied, and we are children of God.
We have a powerful tool to stand out in this world. We have love--God’s love for us and our love for others. That covers a multitude of sins.
Our world craves peace and an end to conflict and strife. Jesus provides a peace that is out of this world--peace with God through the forgiveness of our sins.
Anger can result from a sense that we are more righteous than another person. God reminds us that righteousness only comes through Jesus.
Rest and sleep are valuable commodities in a hustle and hurry world. Jesus provides an even more important rest—rest for our souls.
Could it be that our anger toward others comes when we lose sight of the greater debt of sin that God has wiped out for us?
God doesn’t just say he loves us. He shows it. Christ died for us even though we were still sinners.
One of the quickest ways to drop our anger or frustration with others is to remember the forgiveness we have already been granted. God doesn’t count our sins against us!
Gowns and robes by famous designers make headlines. We are clothed with the holiness of our Savior and are robed for eternity.
Christians speak about righteous anger. Certainly, there are things that should rightly upset us. But harbored anger won’t bring about the righteous life God desires.
How would our application for heaven stand up? On our own, we would be rejected. We have the perfect résumé through Jesus our Savior.
We live in an angry world. Road rage, social media comments, and unprovoked attacks are evidence that anger causes trouble. What about our anger? Can we let it go? Do we have good reason to live differently? YES!
Despite Jacob’s sins, Jesus reminds us that God used Jacob for the purpose of delivering all people from sin.
Jacob settled in the promised Land, assured again of God’s promises. Jesus has prepared a place for us in the promised land of heaven.
Jacob and Esau put their problems behind them. Because we are forgiven in Christ, we can make peace in our conflicts.
As he prepared to meet Esau, Jacob wrestled with God. He knew only God could bless him. We hold on to God’s promises to us.
