Do you know what the first thing recorded in the New Testament is? It’s the family tree of Jesus. Before the details about the first Christmas we have a record of the human ancestry of Jesus. Yet, in this family tree, from which came the Savior of humanity, there is something unexpected—four women: Tamar, Rahab, […]
If you’re a Christian, born-again by the spirit of God (John 3:7-8), then the minute you came to know Christ as your Savior and Lord, God “began a good work in you” (Philippians 1:6a). What work did God begin when you trusted in him? The work of salvation. In the New Testament, salvation is actually […]
Mary and Martha are the names of two women in the New Testament. They were sisters of Lazarus (the one whom Jesus brought back from the dead), and they were friends of Jesus. There was this time that Jesus went to visit their home… Luke 10:38–42 – Now it happened as they went that He entered […]

Social media is an amazing thing. It instantly connects you with other people anywhere in the world. Your news feed is full of videos, photos, quotes, and updates from friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances. It can be a great tool to keep in touch. But, it also has a darker side. It can fuel a […]
Ephesians 5:17–18 says, “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
