A Lesson on Servanthood
(Mark 10:41-45)
On their way to Jerusalem, James and John make an ignorant request to Jesus, asking for the positions of highest honor in Jesus’ kingdom. After hearing of their special request, the ten were angry at James and John (41). They weren't angry at their insensitivity towards Jesus or their misplaced desire for honor. They were angry to have been undercut for the positions they also craved.

The Walk in the Light
(1 John 1:7)
What does this walk in the light look like? We know that it does not mean moral perfection. It does not mean you'll never experience temptation. And it is not some unattainable life only a select few real saints ever achieve.

Faith Goes On Adventures With God
Archival Post
Abraham was the hero of Israel, so his inclusion in the Hebrews 11 chapter on faith was vital to the original Hebrew readers. By the time of Christ, many thought God chose Abraham because he was a righteous man in a godless world. But the Bible affirms time and time again that Abraham was justified by faith (Romans 4:1-3). He evidenced this justification by living by faith, and it was this walk of faith the author of Hebrews sought to hone in on in two distinct episodes of Abraham's life. The first episode had to do with Abraham's calling, while the second happened years later on Mount Moriah.

Walk With A Limp (Genesis 32:31)
Archival Post
My old Christian rap tape rings in my mind: I walked with a limp and carried a brew. You know why? Cause that was cool.
Well, I don't know about that. But Jacob was a man who ended up walking with a limp. For most of his life, he connived and schemed to get his way. He manipulated the people around him to obtain his heart's desires.

The Courage of Christ
(Mark 10:32-34)
At this point in Jesus’ mission, Jesus is on the road to Jerusalem, the place the powers of darkness would converge to crucify him. He knew he had to go. It is a beautiful passage because it shows us Jesus right before his last week near Jerusalem. Death looms, and Jesus rushes towards it. His time has come. He has to engage his mission; this is why he'd come.

Proclaim The True Jesus
(1 John 1:1-2)
For John, it was simple. He wanted everyone to know the real Jesus, even those who got Jesus wrong. John knew about Jesus like no one else still alive in his time. He had been with Jesus when He wept in the Garden of Gethsemane, had watched Jesus raise Lazarus and others, and had stood at the foot of Jesus' cross with Mary. He had leaned on Jesus during the Last Supper, had run to Jesus' empty tomb with Peter, and had eaten with Jesus after his resurrection.
