A HEART FOR SINNERS As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call…

TRUST HIM! He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” —Matthew 8:26 You of little “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). This little faith is lack of confidence in who God is, what He has said and that His plan is perfect. This little faith lacks assurance in what we do not see. This lack of faith brings doubt, fear, depression and so many other negative outlooks. The above verse in context is when Jesus was in the boat with His disciples when a fierce storm swept in on them. Waves were sweeping over the boat. In…

THE LAMB PROVIDED “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” —Genesis 22:8 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death. —Hebrews 11:19 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. —John 3:16 Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! —John 1:29 God did indeed provided the lamb to be offered as a sacrifice instead of Isaac and Abraham name the place “The Lord Will Provide.” And…

HE WILL DO IT! Is anything too hard for the Lord? —Genesis 18:14 But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. —Genesis 19:14 God can do anything He desires. He is the Almighty and nothing is “too hard for the Lord! Abraham would be 100 years old and Sarah 90 years old when Sarah would bear a son, Isaac, to Abraham. God did it. Truly there is nothing “too hard for the Lord! Also, when God says He is going to do something He will do it. Lot’s sons-in-law didn’t take Him serious when Lot told them the Lord would destroy Sodom. They “thought he was joking.” But the Lord did…

RIGHTEOUSNESS! Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. —Genesis 15:6 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. —Romans 3:22 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. —Romans 4:5 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. —Romans 4:23-25 But God…

SHINE You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5:14-16 Fellow follower of Jesus, YOU ARE the light of the world. Jesus the Light of the world made you a light to the world. Is your light shining? Are you hiding it under a bowl or basket? Or, are you…

CITIES Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” —Genesis 11:4 Mankind as a whole is disobedient to God. It was true in Babel when they gathered in opposition to God and sought to build a city, a tower and a name for themselves as mentioned in the above verse. It is true today as well. Men seek to gather and build cities and come up with their own religious systems to try to reach Heaven. They want to…

THE SOLUTION FOR AN EVIL HEART …every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood… —Genesis 8:21 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? —Jeremiah 17:9 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. —Ecclesiastes 10:2 The pride of your heart has deceived you… —Obadiah 1:3 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. —Ezekiel 36:26 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and…

FLEE TO HIM! When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. —Genesis 3:6 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. —Genesis 4:7 What God says not to do men sin saying it is good, it is pleasing, it is desirable and I…
