Every disciple of Jesus should be an example worth imitating.

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s Word is about Jesus. While this is the case, and has always been the case, it takes help for us to see this.

The author of Hebrews tells us to remember those who are imprisoned for Jesus as though we are imprisoned with them. We are to remember those who are suffering for the sake of Jesus as though we are suffering with them. Today I want to give us three reasons why we remember the persecuted.

We must choose wisdom to be wise.

The God who loves us and chose us will never give up on us.

True happiness is found in daily, eager obedience to God’s wisdom.

A strong church is not built on human effort but on Christ-centered transformation.

Spiritual darkness is no match for the light of Jesus.

God’s wisdom is public, precious, and personal — calling us to listen, love, and live by His truth.

We must explicitly proclaim the Gospel.

Lamenting turns us to God when sorrow would turn us from God.

Jesus liberates His disciples from slavery to sin.

What is the fear of the Lord and how does it impact our lives?

We should expect to experience God's power when we receive and proclaim the Gospel

Obedience to God’s Word is the only safety against the destruction of seduction.

Gospel people have vision, faith, and courage.

Every time you sin, you are doing something God hates. Every time I sin, I am doing something God hates. It is important to understand God hates sin impartially.

Sanctification is necessary and possible.

Tonight, I want to walk through a five-step prayer we can pray when we sit down to study God’s Word. The five steps are built on an acronym for FEAST. I found this acronym in an article I read a few weeks ago and wanted to share it. F — Focus my mind. E — Enlighten my eyes. A — Address my sin. S — Satisfy my soul. T — Train my hands.

God's mercies toward us inspire complete consecration from us.
