Psalm: 83 Meditation: GenThis passage is the preparation for Jacob to be reunited with Joseph in Egypt. Pharaoh has sent many carts to carry their belongings and descendants.

Psalm: 93 Meditation: RomWhy does Paul differentiate between life in the flesh and life in the spirit? Why did the law fail those that thought they could earn salvation through obedience to the law? Why is the life and sacrifice of Jesus important to Christians? What did Paul mean when he told Christians their bodies …

Psalm: 119:1-24 Meditation: HebHave you pondered our relationship to Jesus Christ and His Father? Here we see Jesus as our redeemer and champion. First He defeats our oppressor, Satan, then functions as our merciful high priest, helping us in our trials. This passage ends with the reminder of Christ's incarnation and sacrifice that purchased the …

Psalm: 1 Meditation: MattHow keenly aware of the Messianic prophecies was Matthew? How about the people of Jerusalem? Here the description of the donkey’s colt and the people’s response to the procession show how important these prophecies were to first century Jews. The symbols and expectations would soon fail them as the desires for conquest …

Psalm: 146 Meditation: ActsHere we see signs of the Gospel going out and being met by acceptance and resistance. What would your response be if you saw a great miracle performed?  Is superstition so ingrained in human beings that you automatically fit what happens into your perception. The people called Paul and Barnabas Gods and …

Psalm: 55 Meditation Hebrews: Much of this block of Hebrews is very technical and somewhat steeped in legalese. The chapter talks of two covenants: Sinai and Calvary. The Old Covenant is “old” because it became obsolete once the New Covenant was established with blood. This is the fulfillment of Abraham’s noble attempt to offer Isaac …

Psalms 22, 95 Meditation Genesis: This is the first portrayal of the act of redemption – one life sacrificed in place of another. Centuries later on Calvary this same scene will be carried out only this time it will be God’s only Son – one perfect life offered for many imperfect ones. “Now I know …

Psalm 146, 147 Meditation: John – Jesus’ audience asks if what he means by “going away” is that he is going to kill himself. The patience Jesus had when speaking is extraordinary.  The number of times that he tells people of his upcoming sacrifice or of his true place in heaven without them understanding would …

Psalms: 20 Meditation 1 Corinthians: Paul’s argument in favor of the resurrection from the dead is quite pointed. If Christ did not rise from the dead, then His sacrifice on the cross was not accepted. Jesus’ resurrection was proof that God was pleased with Jesus’ sacrifice. As early as the time of Samson there was …

Generosity

On May 25, 2020July 24, 2020 By Nathan HallIn Discipleship, GenOneLeave a comment

Grace is any gift that God gives to undeserving sinners. God’s forgiveness is grace. Our spiritual gifts, the special abilities that we have been given by God to strengthen the church, are also grace. But have you ever thought of your generosity to others as God’s grace to you? I didn’t until I came across …
