But Many Who Heard
“But Many Who Heard” Key Texts: Acts 4:1-4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.

From Death to Life
Key Text: 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. The Easter season – those weeks following the great celebration – is a wonderful time to reflect on the gift of eternal life that comes by faith… Continue reading From Death to Life
Week 47 Sunday
Getting to Know God Today’s scripture selection: Acts 17-18 Key Verses: Acts 17:23b “Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.” It was more than an intellectual game; an esoteric pastime. It was more than just a way to show off how much he knew. For the apostle Paul… Continue reading Week 47 Sunday

Meaningless Today’s scripture selection: Ecclesiastes 1-2 Key verse: Ecclesiastes 1:1 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless!

Not money; not sensuality; not worldly wisdom; not fame or power.… Continue reading Week 43 Thursday

The Heart’s Reflection Today’s scripture selection: Proverbs 26-27 Key verse: Proverbs 27:19 “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” It reminds me of those old Kung Fu movies on television – the ones where a wise, sage old master tells his young protégé’ some great secret of life. But it’s not… Continue reading Week 39 Thursday

Not Even Death Today’s scripture selection: John 10-12 Key Verses: John 11:11 Jesus told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” Like so often, Jesus’ followers didn’t understand. They didn’t understand how the events which were unfolding were all part of a great divine plan; they… Continue reading Week 35 Sunday
Week 31 Sunday
Light and Life Today’s scripture selection: John 1-2 Key Verses: John 1:4-5 I love the way the apostle John begins his gospel. While the other gospel writers start right in with the historic details of Jesus’ life – John takes another, much more dramatic, angle. “In the beginning was the Word, and… Continue reading Week 31 Sunday
