It’s easy to assume we’re all headed in the same direction spiritually—show up, sing the songs, nod along, and everything must be good. But Jesus tells a sobering story that forces us to ask a deeper question: Are we truly ready for His return—or just along for the ride? In a world full of distraction, delayed obedience, and quiet spiritual drift, Christ calls us not just to believe about Him, but to live in faithful anticipation for Him—wide awake, steadfast, and burning with lasting devotion.

When comfort calls, will you stay faithful? Jesus has entrusted us with everything—our time, our gifts, our lives. The question isn’t what we have, but what we’ll do with it.

Jesus’ parables expose more than ancient crowds—they expose us. We resist His Word, we quit when it gets hard, we let comfort and distraction choke out our faith. But Jesus calls us to something better: to receive His Word with open hearts and bear fruit that lasts.

We chase money, success, relationships, and pleasure—thinking they’ll satisfy. But all the while, infinite joy is offered to us in God Himself. Only He is big enough to wow you forever, good enough to satisfy you forever, and loving enough to secure you forever. The secret to genuine joy? Making God your joy.

What if the greatest responsibility of your life is one you’ve been missing? A college freshman learns this the hard way—but Paul’s words in Romans 10 remind us that the call to receive the gospel is inseparable from the joy of sharing it. And that call might just change how you spend your whole life.

When we forget the perfection of God’s Word, we start adding to it, subtracting from it, or chasing joy in all the wrong places. But what if the call to be a Bible people is actually a call to deeper joy, revival, and wisdom—through the living words of God himself?

Hold on to hope by trusting God's promises, even in a broken and hurting world. Though sin brings suffering, Genesis 3:15 points to the lasting hope found in Jesus, who defeats evil and offers eternal life. Let this truth shape your perspective and fuel your worship.

What if the struggles you face—whether emotional, relational, or physical—are symptoms of a deeper spiritual issue? Sin, introduced in Genesis 3, fractured our connection with God, others, ourselves, and creation, creating the brokenness we still experience today. But there is hope: through Jesus, healing and restoration are possible, offering peace now and a future free from pain and separation.

Are you trusting God with your sexuality and seeking His design for intimacy? Sex, like fire, can bring beauty or harm depending on its context—God designed it as a good gift for unity within marriage, reflecting deeper emotional and spiritual truths. When rightly understood, it mirrors Christ’s love for the church and points us to the ultimate fulfillment found in Him. No matter your past, the gospel offers healing, hope, and a deeper connection through a relationship with Jesus.

What are you living for—and does it align with why you were created?

We’re made in God’s image, which gives us dignity, purpose, and the responsibility to reflect His glory. When we don’t understand that, life can feel chaotic and confusing. True identity begins with knowing our Creator and living in a way that points back to Him.

How can we live authentically as Christians, especially when faced with difficult circumstances? True Christian living is tested during hardships, requiring steadfast prayer, gratitude, and intentional devotion to God. Like missing key ingredients in a recipe, a lack of prayer can result in a flat and uninspiring faith. Embracing community, seeking God’s guidance, and recognizing our role in sharing Christ's message help us stay grounded and active in our faith.

Are you living out the new life you've been given in Christ? We are called to let go of our old selves and embrace a transformation that reflects Jesus’ love, humility, and patience. By renewing our minds, repenting of sin, and fostering relationships rooted in God’s love, we reflect His image and invite others to experience His grace. This journey is empowered by the Holy Spirit and requires our commitment to honor Christ in all things.

Are you relying on Christ alone for your protection, redemption, and empowerment? Believers can become spiritually captive when they stray from the truth of Christ, falling prey to empty philosophies and human traditions. Jesus is fully sufficient and supreme, offering the ultimate protection, redemption, and power to overcome fear and sin.
