Bible Study

Last week we investigated different aspects of spiritual strength.  One of the ways to strengthen your spirit is through reading and studying God’s Word.  You’ve probably heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” This applies to your spirit as well.  The best food for the spirit is the Word of God, ingested in healthy, […]

One of the greatest benefits of practicing gratitude is living in a state of contentment, regardless of our circumstances. An attitude of gratitude and thankfulness turns our focus on God and His boundless blessings, mercies, and grace. When we have the mindset of seeing everything in our lives through the lens of His love, our

God’s unconditional love for us is like no other love. God’s Word describes a faithful, merciful, never-ending love in sweeping terms so that we could comprehend this limitless love. Then Jesus tells us we are to love Him with our whole heart. How can we ever reciprocate an ounce of the enormity of His love? What instruction does the

There are many Bible characters who responded to God’s call with the phrase, “Here I am!” Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, and the disciples were all willing to obey God. Samuel also answered God’s call with these same words, but he didn’t know it was God calling. In fact, Samuel was just a child when God first called out

Matthew, Mark, and John were all eyewitnesses to the spectacular miracle of Jesus and Peter walking on water. Jesus had just performed the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 with the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. He was seeking a time of solitude and prayer with His Father. He sent the disciples

Learning to study the Bible brings us immeasurable benefits. We grow closer and closer to Him and learn to apply His truth to our daily interactions. But feeling under qualified or too busy can leave us overwhelmed. Learning and experimenting with different Bible study methods are wonderful ways to take what you are reading and

Surprisingly, while researching Bible verses about surrender, I found the word “surrender(s)” only occurs 18 times in the entire NIV Bible, and none in the KJV!
