Reading: John 16:21-33, Psalm 22 Bre The Sabbath after the crucifixion of Jesus seemed quiet on the outside. People staying home mourning, grieving and processing what they had just witnessed. Trust is putting faith into a person or thing – many had put their trust in Jesus. Trust is a choice, sometimes it’s easy andContinue reading “SATURDAY – REVEALED IN TRUST”

Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:38-58, Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12, Matthew 27 Jesus didn’t want to die. It is at the same time the most comforting and most unnerving aspect of the Gospel. Jesus was fully God, and he was fully man. On “Good” Friday, He would face the most challenging day of his short life. ThoughContinue reading “FRIDAY – REVEALED IN DEATH”

Reading: Philippians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 10:13, James 5:16, Matthew 11:28-30 When trials come, they always bring with them certain temptations. Whether those trials are finances, communication, illness, aging parents, death and grief, parenting challenges or child behavior, whatever it is – each comes with its own unique but certain temptation. This is a part ofContinue reading “THURSDAY – REVEALED IN TEMPTATION”

Reading: Romans 9:20, Matthew 6:25-34 When we were first given the theme for this devotion it was difficult for us to determine how contempt played a role in revealing anything to us. We both thought we understood the meaning of the word but drew a blank on how to apply it to our lives. AContinue reading “WEDNESDAY – REVEALED IN CONTEMPT”

Reading: Hebrews 4:15-16, Philippians 4:8-9, Romans 8:32-39, Psalm 23 It is hard to imagine the kind of tension and heaviness Jesus must have felt in the days prior to His crucifixion. The tension surrounding Jesus and the High Priests in and around the temple was building and growing until it was felt by everyone inContinue reading “TUESDAY – REVEALED IN TENSION”

Reading: Ephesians 4:29, Philippians 4:6-7 When you marry someone you take vows to love for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. We automatically assume that this applies only to each other. In reality, although we don’t repeat these vows out loud for all to hear, whenever we come into a genuinely investedContinue reading “MONDAY – REVEALED IN THE MOMENT”

The gravity of Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem – I don’t know if it is something that you may ever have had much consideration for. I mean, maybe more the “seeming contradiction” of Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem is more fitting. Let’s be honest, Jesus was about to be betrayed and denied by those closestContinue reading “Triumph – Palm Sunday”

CONTINUED… Hosea’s Personal Context How God used Hosea’s marriage to Gomer as an extended metaphor representing Israel and her relationship to God is nothing less than bizarre. The “nutshell” version is that Israel broke God’s covenant, just as Gomer broke her marriage covenant with Hosea. Israel’s greatest sin is idolatry (other god’s) which comes fromContinue reading “Hosea”

Questions: What do you see in this picture and scripture about the Life of Prayer? 1. What is life like, what are we like before we recognize the true presence of Christ? 2.
