Jesus Christ:
The Ultimate Man
Part 2: Prophet Jesus
This is not the title I normally use of Jesus. Perhaps I've developed an allergy to the title after hearing many say, "Jesus was a good teacher, a prophet, but not God." I reject that. He is God who became flesh to dwell among us (John 1:14). Still, he is the greatest prophet who ever walked the earth. (6 Minutes/1400 Words)

When Work Goes Sideways
(Genesis 11:4)
Before sin entered the world, before the fall, work was a way mankind glorified God. God created us to work, and the garden needed cultivating. And now, under the curse brought on by sin, we are still called to a life of work. (1 Minute/300 Words)

This Is Who You Are
Romans 6:11 is a verse I preach to myself every single day. I have to remember constantly that when I placed my faith in Jesus, He let me die to my old self and raised me to new life in Him. This is the new reality! Praying that you can live into that truth today as well.

Part 3
(1 John 1:5-22)
At times, it will be the confession you make to others which will help you really overcome. But that confession has more to do with what we already talked about, walking in the light. We can't, though, merely tell others about our sins. We must also **confess our sins** to the Lord. (9 Minutes/2000 Words)

Part 1
(1 John 1:5-22)
We read John's purpose statement, his heart for his readers, a group of Christians in a circuit surrounding Ephesus, where he'd pastored. He loved this group and, fearing the false teaching which sniped them off one by one, he lovingly rose up to communicate the truth to his beloved, his little children. He would proclaim the True Vine, the real Jesus Christ, to them. He aimed to bring them into fellowship with the apostolic group and the truth they were licensed to preach. (7 Minutes/1700 Words)

When sin entered the world, the relationship between men and women was capsized. God created his world. He put man and woman in it to cultivate and subdue it -- together. But when they sinned, death was introduced to the planet. This death was not immediate. It was slow. Nor was it only a physical and future death. It was spiritual, emotional, and relational. Life ceased to work as it was intended. And, as you scan history, this brokenness is often displayed in marriage.
