POWER VRS AUTHORITY

DAY 270 Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. We might find it strange that Jesus conferred both power and authority when he sent out the twelve, but that was the only way to ensure they excelled. Think about this:... Continue Reading →

DON’T IGNORE THE STORIES OF MEN

DAY 202 Matthew 12:3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? What use is there in understanding the happenings in the lives of those who have passed on?

From our text today, we get a... Continue Reading →

THE SMALL THINGS

247/365 1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a small amount of yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? The message renders the text above as follows 'Yeast, too, is a “small thing,” but it works its way through a whole batch of bread dough pretty fast' A little... Continue Reading →
