God the giver (Lk. 11:1–13)
Does God hear my prayers? How do I know? When it comes to prayer, our confidence doesn’t come from our ability to pray, but from the person who teaches us how.
The good portion (Lk. 10:38–42)
Seek first the kingdom of God, which is an upside-down kingdom and shows itself in ways we don’t expect, and he will provide everything we need to love him and serve one another.
Knowing God (Co. 1:1–14)
We have all felt the difference between knowing something and really knowing something. How can we know God better so that he is not just an acquaintance, but our closest friend?
Called to follow (Lk. 9:51–62)
We generally have our priorities ordered. When Jesus says, “Follow me,” he is asking to be the top priority. How do we do that?
Now we are free (Ga. 3:23–29)
When we are confined, something else is forcing us to stay where we are. This is what God’s law does. What frees us?
Challenge, products, hope (Ro. 5:1–5)
Paul talks about the Trinity by talking about our daily lives. He explains why the Triune God matters for us.
Healing division (Ep. 1:15–23)
The Christians in Ephesus had their own problems, the main one being division. Sound familiar? Despite our learnings and improvements, we still get tripped up by the same problems.
Stats don’t lie (Jn. 14:23–29)
It’s very easy to lose hope based on what we don’t have as a church. God is reminding us of the precious gift we do have: salvation. Why do we think we need anything else?
Feed my sheep (Jn. 21:1–19)
Jesus forgave Peter and entrusted his flock to him. By his grace, Jesus has forgiven you. By his grace, he is calling you to serve him and his people with the gifts you have been given.
Jesus meets us (Jn. 20:19–31)
In our fear and worry, Jesus offers us his peace. In our questions and scepticism, he shows us himself.
True realisation (Lk. 24:1–12)
When the words of Jesus are spoken, and the bread is taken and broken, the resurrected Jesus is who we remember and see. It’s the entire work of Christ that we praise God for today.
Darkness and light (Jn. 18–19)
We reflect on the events of the first Good Friday in terms of the darkness surrounding Jesus and the light that is to come.
Love one another (Jn. 13:34)
This Easter, base your love for your neighbour on his love. You never know—someone might see Jesus’ love in you and wonder where it came from.
Be like Jesus (Ph. 2:5-11)
Paul is urging the Christians in Philippi to “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” In other words, “Be Like Jesus.” But is that all he is to us—an example?
The place of piety (Jn. 12:1–8)
Whether you think you’re a pious person or not (or whether you think that other person is too pious or not), God still speaks and acts.
The two sons (Lk. 15:1–3,11b–32)
Whether we’re rebellious or whether we’re prideful, God has enough grace to come out and invite us into his kingdom. He comes out to us in our baptism, through his body and blood, and by his Word.
Another chance (Lk. 13:1–9)
A fruit tree that doesn’t bear fruit deserves to be pulled up. Not only does God keep us in the ground for another year – he gives us the most precious gift under heaven: his only Son.
Transforming power (Ph. 3:17—4:1)
Paul points to Christ as the one who is transforming us and bringing all things under his authority. What does that mean for us?
The bread of life (Jn. 6:25–35)
Have you been searching without finding? Look no further. Jesus is here.
Forgive us our sins
As we begin this Lenten journey, we hear Jesus teaching about almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. We focus on prayer by reflecting on the Fifth Petition of the Lord’s Prayer.
