This is great stuff!
The story of the feeding of the 5k is a treasure mine for analysis. It is the only miracle besides the resurrection of Jesus that is found in all 4 Gospels. This story allows us to read it across each account and check for corroborative or contradictory details, that would allow

Pastor - God is not impressed by the numbers. The size. The success. We value those those things. We brag about or are dismayed over them. But God has different things he is looking for. Psalm 147:10–11 He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; he does not value the

Psalm 142:3 Although my spirit is weak within me, you know my way. No matter how weak you are, what crisis you face, what unknown you fear - God knows where you are going. Nothing surprises him. You may not see it, but he does, you may not see it, but you can see him.

Need comfort today? Think on this: What is thy only comfort in life and death? That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me

This is happening in your life: Good desires you have, giving it all your best efforts, trying over and over again. But, coming up short. Why? One reason we often ignore: 1 Thessalonians 2:17–18 But as for us, brothers and sisters, after we were forced to leave you for a

Starting is easy. Enduring is hard. Endurance is not a matter of self-talk, accountability, productivity hacks, energy drinks, or whatever other chosen tool. We need the Holy Spirit. 2 Timothy 1:7 God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

My aim is to start every day's work by praying over my list of things to do. I want God's wisdom, God's heart, God's power, God's involvement.

John Piper says, “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.” But it's more and better than that. Each of those 10,000 things is being done because he loves you. He works ALL things for your good. He is always playing love chess.

“With its clarion call to declare God’s power, our utter insufficiency, Satan’s relentless attacks, Christ’s total victory, and the confession ‘his kingdom is forever,’ this hymn is theology applied.” For Reformation Day, Stephen Nichols unpacks the power of Martin Luther’s

With theology thick as castle walls and comfort rooted deep in the triune God, Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress” is a battle anthem for besieged saints.

We don't thank God because: 1. We are blind to the good he has given. 2. We are blind to his involvement in giving the good we do see, believing we did it alone. - Ask God to open your eyes today.
