Monday May 22, 2023
Monday May 22, 2023
Do you truly understand what it means to be a disciple of Christ? Many have not counted the true cost or considered the dedication discipleship requires. Being a disciple of Jesus is not a passive activity. Jesus reminds us that discipleship is a life of sacrifice, dedication, and focus.

Reacting to Rejection: Do What Jesus Did | Luke 9:51-56
Monday May 15, 2023
Monday May 15, 2023
Christians who live out their faith will encounter rejection from those in the world. While we cannot control the actions of others, we are responsible for how we react to rejection. Jesus' disciples responded by wanting to punish those who reject God. Jesus, however, demonstrated the proper way his followers should react when rejected.

Christian Elitism: Dealing with a Holier-Than-Thou Attitude | Luke 9:46-50
Monday May 08, 2023
Monday May 08, 2023
Elitism, self-righteousness, or a "holier-than-thou" attitude is something that we all have encountered, and it's something that—if we're honest—we all have struggled with in ourselves. We've all looked down upon or thought less of someone because they were different or weren't part of the right group. Jesus confronts this sinful narcissism and elitism in his disciples, and we must confront it in ourselves and in our churches.

The Beloved Will Become the Betrayed | Luke 9:37-45

In sports, a fair-weather fan will support a team when they are doing well, but when the team doesn't meet the fan's expectations, that fan turns against them. Many churchgoers are fair-weather Christians: loving Jesus when things are going well, but rejecting him when he doesn't live up to the follower's expectations.

The Glory of Christ Displayed | Luke 9:28-36

Monday Apr 24, 2023
The Transfiguration of Jesus has many connections with the Old Testament, especially the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles (i.e., Feast of Booths) and the Hebrew exodus out of Egypt. During the glorious event, God the Father instructed Jesus' disciples then and now that we must learn from Jesus.

The Reason Jesus Came | Easter | Luke 9:21-22
Monday Apr 10, 2023
Monday Apr 10, 2023
God promised to send the Messiah, but many believed that the Messiah was to be a political leader and social reformer. Jesus the Messiah came for a different purpose, however: to suffer, be rejected, killed, and raised from the dead in order to save his people from sin and death.

Jesus’ Identity Proclaimed | Luke 9:18-20
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Jesus asked his disciples who the world says he is and who they say he is. Their answers differed, and only one was and is correct. Many today debate the identity of Jesus, and many professing Christians deny the truth about Jesus' identity. Peter's answer, however, is the true identity of Jesus.

Trusting God to Provide
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Many Christians depend on themselves or other individuals to provide the resources needed for life and ministry. Jesus, however, performs a mighty miracle--feeding upwards of 15,000 people using just a few fish and loaves of bread--to teach us to trust God to provide all we need to obey and follow him.

Seeking the Identity of Jesus | Luke 9:7-9
Monday Mar 20, 2023
Monday Mar 20, 2023
After hearing about Jesus' ministry, King Herod asked a question that people have been asking for centuries: "who is this Jesus?" There are many opinions about the identity of Jesus. Christians must refute the false identities of Jesus and proclaim the true identity of Jesus. This requires that Christians take seriously the study of sound, biblical theology so as to avoid heresy and false teaching.
