Can You See Anything?
How did the disciples get beyond their hardened hearts to a place where they could begin seeing clearly? Could Jesus’ healing of a man’s eyes have anything to teach us about that?
He Heals the Deaf
This story of a man being healed of his deafness is a parable of what Jesus does for those who are spiritually deaf- He gives them ears to HEAR, and then a tongue to sing for joy.
Crumbs for a Dog Like Me
The story of this Gentile woman who came to Jesus needing help for her daughter is a reminder that whatever we get from the Lord is more than we deserve.
The Heart of the Matter
Our problems don’t begin with what we, or others, can see at surface level. It all begins deeper, down in the heart.
He Meant to Pass Them By
When Jesus came to the disciples, walking on the sea, why did He intend to “pass by them?”
The Temptation of Prosperity
Lot was tempted by the well-watered valley of the Jordan, and he pitched his tent “as far as Sodom.” Are you tempted by the world and its promises of prosperity?
Giving Your First Fruits
How does the giving of the first fruits in the Old Testament correspond to us?
Sin is Never Satisfied
Sin is always hungry for more. It wants more territory. Repentance cuts it off.
In Over Your Head
The Lord ensures that our growth as His disciples comes by being dependent on Him.
Unbelief
What we see happening here in Nazareth is just a microcosm of what’s happening in our world, and in our communities (and would happen in our own hearts, if sin could have its way).
