The freedom we have in Christ – do we believe it? Do we live it? Do we recognize the freedom from guild and daily fears? John 8:31-36 encourages us to be free from these things and enjoy our salvation through Christ our Savior.
The world says not to judge, to have no discernment, to trust their way without questioning it. Yet as we study the Bible, we see that’s not what God has for us. In John 7:24 we note that while we aren’t to judge things by their appearance, we must apply the Word of God to…
Do we have righteous judgment? We must be careful with our prejudice. We must turn our heart to Jesus and reach the world with God’s gospel message. John 7:1-5 is but one of many examples of how Christ himself was judged by the world and how the world judges His followers today – will we…
Praise the Lord that He regenerates us when we’re saved! In John 3:1-22 we see Christ explaining this to Nicodemus on our need to have the very nature of God placed within us.
When God created us, He created us with an innate desire to worship. God’s desire for our worship is not hidden, as it is clearly called out in the Bible. John 4:21-26 reminds us of our need to worship our Creator in Spirit and in Truth in a manner that is according to His Word.

Christ makes it clear in John 15:1-16 – Christians are to bear fruit! There are many different types – love, joy, peace, etc – and winning others to Christ. As we look at the example Christ set for us, how do we measure up? Are we bearing fruit?
Are you abiding in the vine? Friends, fellow Christians, if we’re not connected to the True Vine, we cannot succeed in the Christian life. John 15:1-16 makes it clear that we’re not to go through this life alone, but that we are to be abiding in Christ, so that He can abide in us, all…
