2 Chronicles 26, Isaiah 42:5-8 / Jun 16, 2016-Jun 17, 2016, Jun 20, 2016 If the human race were suddenly struck blind, the sun would continue to shine by day and the moon by night. If we were suddenly struck deaf, birds would continue to sing and brooks to babble. And if we were suddenly struck with the “disease” of atheism, God would continue to exist in His resplendent glory.

1 Corinthians 15:58, 16:13-14 / Jun 13, 2016-Jun 15, 2016 No effort we make to achieve something great for God is promised perpetual success. Why?

2 Peter 1:1-11 / Jun 8, 2016-Jun 10, 2016 We've been thinking about growing toward spiritual maturity for quite some time. The series has taken us through the stages all of us must pass (infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood) as we mature in our walk with Christ. Even though we can never say that we have “arrived,” there are some checkpoints by which we are able to measure our maturity. We want to focus our attention on them as we wrap up the series. They are set forth in the first major section of Peter's second letter. Spend a few minutes reading them. From the Series: Growing Up in God's Family read more

Psalm 26 / Jun 3, 2016, Jun 6, 2016-Jun 7, 2016 Out of the rich book of Psalms, we find an ancient hymn—a prayer, a passionate petition—in which David makes a series of requests and statements that reveal a level of maturity admired by all. For a few moments, read over and meditate on Psalm 26. Observe the composer's major theme as well as his unguarded admissions. See if you can discover for yourself the relevance of this melodic revelation. You may be surprised at David's ability to address subjects that are just as up-to-date as today's newspaper.

2 Samuel 24:10-25 / Jun 1, 2016-Jun 2, 2016 Among the numerous Old Testament narratives, there are magnificent stories of ecstasy and triumph as well as agony and tragedy. All are preserved for our benefit. From each we can find both analogies and lessons to live by. One such story appears in Scripture toward the end of David's life. Although most of the stories revolving around David's experiences are fairly familiar to us today, this one may not be. From the Series: Growing Up in God's Family read more

Matthew 16:18, Romans 12:4-13 / May 27, 2016, May 30, 2016-May 31, 2016 As we enter adulthood in our faith, one of the most significant realizations to dawn upon us is a healthy understanding of and appreciation for the church. Most go through real battles in coming to this conclusion. The church, during our growing up years, suffers the brunt of our criticism and the bulk of our complaints. We go through periods where we ignore the church and resent the church on one hand, then on the other hand, we go to the extreme of virtually worshipping the church.

Hebrews 2:1-3, 3:12-13, 4:1-2, 5:11-14 / May 24, 2016-May 26, 2016 Tough though it may be to admit it, most of us resist growing up. We say all the things that suggest otherwise, but in reality, we resist launching out into the ocean of adulthood. We much prefer the security of the shoreline—being able to touch bottom, not having to hassle with the swells, currents, and windstorms of the vast sea with all its demands. Give us the safety of the harbour any day! But God would have us brave the elements, to risk, to become models of maturity…to grow up. From the Series: Growing Up in God's Family read more

Genesis 22:1-7 / May 19, 2016-May 20, 2016, May 23, 2016 If we are not careful we could easily get the impression that adolescence is a disease with headaches and heartaches, pressure and pain as its only symptoms. Not so! Adjustments and struggles may be present, but not to the exclusion of tremendous growth and remarkable achievements. These can be some of the most exciting years of one's spiritual pilgrimage. All adolescents are not horizontally irresponsible and vertically insensitive. As we shall soon discover, there are cases on record in Scripture where people this age lived exemplary lives in spite of the odds against them. From the Series: Growing Up in God's Family read more
