Overcome Evil with Good
September 20, 2026
Colossians 2:13-15 closes the week at the cross, where God found us dead in sin, canceled the record against us, and nailed it to the wood—not to punish us, but to free us. Like a father crouching among the snakes saying “jump on my back,” God took the strike meant for us. Every memory from this week points to this one memorial. If we remember the cross, the only response is to stop navigating the darkness alone and hold on.

What Is That in Your Hand?
September 20, 2026
Exodus 4:2-5 teaches us that God can use what is already in our hands, even when it seems ordinary or unimpressive, for His greater purposes. Instead of focusing on what we lack, we can open our hands, surrender what we have to God, and trust Him to use it in ways we never could on our own.

Words That Stay
September 20, 2026
John 10:27 ties the whole week together: the sheep listen to the shepherd's voice, and the clearest place to hear that voice is the Bible—every time you open it, the good shepherd is speaking. The more you read, the more you know the One who already knows you completely, and it turns into a real friendship. And it never stops at your head; his voice leads your feet, following him through school, home, everywhere. The words you read this week don't disappear—they stay tucked in your heart, speaking long after you close the book.

The Word Of God
Deuteronomy 32:46-47 and Isaiah 40:8 remind us that the Word of God is not just mere words but a life-giving force that endures forever, guiding and transforming us. In a world that constantly changes, Scripture remains a steadfast anchor, offering wisdom, direction, and the power to align our lives with God's eternal plan.

What Is Theology?
Philippians 3:10 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 teach us that theology is not just intellectual study but a transformative pursuit of knowing God deeply, shaping our understanding of His character and influencing every aspect of our lives. As we grow in our knowledge of God, our lives should increasingly reflect His love, grace, and peace.

John 21
John 21:17 shows us that despite Peter's denial, Jesus sought to restore him through love and forgiveness. Jesus’ grace is greater than our failures, and He reassures us that our place in His mission remains secure. Trust in His unchanging love and rely on His strength, not your own, to fulfill your calling.

John 18
John 18:38 and John 8:31-32 remind us that truth is not relative but absolute, as embodied in Jesus Christ. Just as a seatbelt protects us in a crash, the truth of Jesus offers security and freedom in life's challenges. Embrace His teachings, even when they feel restrictive, and find true freedom and stability in His unchanging truth.

John 16, 17
John 17:20-23 teaches that our lives should display God’s love and unity, reflecting Christ to the world. Just as a catalog showcases products, we are to showcase the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and more—so others can see God’s character in us. Live in a way that draws others to the hope found in Jesus.

John 15
John 15:2 reminds us that God's pruning, though sometimes painful, is necessary for spiritual growth. Just as a gardener prunes a plant to encourage more fruit, God removes anything in our lives that hinders our development in Christ-like character. Trust in His process, knowing it leads to greater fruitfulness and a deeper connection with Jesus, the true Vine.

John 12, 13
John 12:32 teaches that true freedom comes from the cross, where Jesus' sacrifice offers eternal life. Like the Statue of Liberty symbolizes freedom, the cross provides lasting hope for all who believe. Turn to Jesus and receive His gift of salvation.
