    Matthew opens Jesus’ public ministry not with a miracle, not with a sermon, but with a call. A simple shoreline. Ordinary men. An extraordinary King. And in that moment, the Kingdom of God breaks into everyday life.

    The King Revealed: When Jesus Calls, Everything Changes - Matthew 4:18–22 (NLT) Theme: The King Revealed Topic: Jesus Calls His Disciples Introduction: When the King Steps onto the Shore Every call reveals something about the caller.

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 160 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

    True gratitude transforms our lives, drawing us closer to Jesus, deepening our healing, and opening our hearts to God’s ongoing blessing and presence.

    Some of us walked in today with full calendars and thin reserves. Bills on the table, worries in the heart, a sigh that sits a little too close to the surface. We could use a fresh breath of grace. We could use the reminder that God isn’t just good to us; He is near to us. Near on the mountaintop. ...read more

    Satan challenges God asumption that Job is righteous. The open question of Job is, "Can humans serve God for who he is?" Can they have real integrity.

    When I was a child my mom had to promise me she would give me a prize if I was good in the grocery store. I didn’t get that many prizes. But the motivation for my goodness was a prize. As I matured my Mother would ask me to be good in the store out of respect for her and the other shoppers. ...read more

    To experience new life, even in the senior years, means using old knowledge to gain new knowledge; to set aside pride in order to learn; and to be fully open to Christ.

    We had been talking about a mutual friend. We had laughed a little at how rigid he was, how staid. We had commented that he didn’t like change; he could easily be "all shook up" when something didn’t go his way. I asked the other person in this conversation, "How long have you known John?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,922 views

    Jesus turns from silence about His achievements to open speaking about His death. He will not follow the ambition path, the pleasure path, or the easy spirituality path.

    You can admire Jesus, you can think well of Jesus, you can even love Jesus. But you cannot domesticate Him, you cannot tame Him, you cannot make Him sweet and nice and pretty. He is who He is and He says what He says, and sometimes it’s hard to take. In my experience, just about everybody out ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,664 views

    Walking with God means we must be willing to mix discipline with compassion in the right ratios and in the right situations. There is a time to be firm and buckle down and a time to open your heart.

    A Sane Perspective Upon Discipline and Compassion (Proverbs 19:14-15, 17-18) 1. Discipline and compassion are connected. For example, if teachers do not keep a class under control, students cannot learn and that affects their futures. 2. A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a ...read more
