Celebrate the Seasons – Titus 2

Read Luke 10 Eternal life is received, not achieved—yet those who receive Christ’s mercy are called to extend His mercy and love to every neighbor. Jesus’ well-known story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) was told in response to a lawyer’s question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” By probing the man’s ability…

Read John 9, 10 Jesus has already made His identity unmistakably clear—both His words and His works testify that He is God, calling every listener to respond in faith and belong to His flock. Standing in the temple during Hanukkah, Jesus was pressed to say “plainly” whether He was the Messiah. He replied that He…

Read John 7,8 Real freedom is only found in Jesus Christ, the unchanging source and standard of all truth. Jesus’ exchange with the Jews in John 8 revolves around one word—“truth.” Seven times He uses it, culminating in the promise, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Pastor Gary showed…

Read Matthew 18 Skip addresses one of the hardest parts of discipleship: forgiving people who wound us repeatedly. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18 and the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, he showed that forgiveness is not an elective for believers—it is required. Jesus frames unforgiveness as hypocrisy in light of the staggering mercy…

Read Matthew 17, Mark 9 Pastor Gary places the Transfiguration (a literal “mountaintop” moment) beside the desperate scene of a demon-tormented boy in the valley. These back-to-back stories mirror the extremes of our own lives: rare highs of glory and many lows of struggle. We were reminded that Jesus is found in both places. Life…

Read Matthew 16, Mark 8 Skip traced five clear steps Jesus gives for anyone who would be His disciple. First comes desire: the inner craving that drives us to Christ. Desire must be followed by denial, disowning the self-life. That leads to death—taking up the cross in willingness to lose everything. Only then can we…

Read Matthew 15, Mark 7 God looks past every outward rule and sees what really shapes us—the desires, motives, and worship rising from the heart. Heart Check https://youtu.be/CAgd7wRDCVY?is=9-5PQlFRhDr_-IgM https://biblenote.ai/shared/64ed02fbd4ad479bb2ecf641c3dcd4fb

Read John 6 John places this well-known miracle on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee during Passover season. A hungry crowd, a questioning Philip, an observant Andrew, and one boy’s small lunch become the setting for an astounding multiplication that leaves twelve baskets of leftovers. Allister walks us through the scene, then asks…

Read Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9 In God’s upside-down kingdom the path to true greatness, strength, wisdom, provision, and life always runs through apparent loss or weakness. After telling His disciples that the Son of Man would be betrayed, Jesus overheard them arguing about which of them was the greatest. He responded by placing…

Read Matthew 10 This is so good!!! Whoever follows Jesus will encounter persecution, but need not be afraid: God knows every detail, the truth will prevail, and whoever openly confesses Christ will be confessed by Him before the Father. Jesus prepares his apostles—and all future followers—for resistance. A disciple is not above his Master; what…
