Critical Questions: Why Did Jesus Speak in Parables? by Micah Lovell
Read: Matthew 13 One of the most commonly occurring questions from readers of the New Testament is about why Jesus so frequently speaks in parables in the Gospels. Readers are astute to the fact that the parables bring an element of mystery to the overall message Jesus is attempting to preach, but some parables are […]
Extra Mercy, Hold the Sacrifice by Adam Miller
Read: Matthew 12:1-8 One of my favorite phrases in the Gospel of Matthew is actually a rebuke. You wouldn’t notice it at first–it sounds like something you would put into needlework on a pillow–but it is a rebuke all the same: “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.” At face value, it is like a warm […]
NEED WISDOM? ASK, SEEK, KNOCK by Adam Miller
If you were granted one wish, what would it be? Perhaps it would be money, power, or popularity. People have spent their entire lives striving for these treasures and the rest of us are left to admire those who actually achieve them. King Solomon was the most wealthy and powerful figure of his day, but […]
LET JOY AND SADNESS INTERMINGLE THIS MOTHER’S DAY by Courtney Doctor
Mother’s Day. Few holidays can rival it for emotional highs and lows. As a child, I loved Mother’s Day. It was the one day of the year my dad would “cook” breakfast with us (or run to McDonalds to buy pancakes). We would “surprise” my mother with breakfast in bed. One particularly memorable year, my […]
Jesus Has the Authority to Forgive Sins by Adam Miller
Read: Matthew 9:1-17 Throughout this section of Matthew, Chapters 8-10, we have seen Jesus going around the villages of Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and working miracles that demonstrated His power and authority. In this next section, we will see three unique stories that add a greater dimension to Jesus’ power. First, we […]
The Wind and the Sea Obey Him by Adam Miller
Read: Matthew 8:18-34 It is easy to look at the various stories in Matthew 8 as though they are isolated events, individual vignettes without any overarching narrative, but the truth is that they are all leading up to a point. Jesus has healed a leper, saved the life of a Roman centurion’s servant, restored Peter’s […]

Resurrection Sunday | April 4, 2021 The Empty Tomb
When the women went to the tomb following the Sabbath, they expected to find the body of Jesus in a tomb, the entrance covered with a heavy stone. They had no way of knowing how they would get inside, but they went ready to anoint Jesus with the appropriate burial ointments. What they saw when […]
Saturday | April 3, 2021 A Deliberate Denial
Saturday gives us little to read, but much to ponder. Remembering that Jesus said He would rise from the dead after three days, the religious leaders went to Pilate to commission a guard and seal the tomb to make sure that the disciples wouldn’t steal Jesus’ body and perpetuate a story that He had risen […]
Good Friday | April 2, 2021 Forsaken for Our Forgiveness
In the morning after Jesus was betrayed, the religious leaders decided that they didn’t want to be held responsible for killing Jesus, so they brought Him before Pilate. Judas is quickly dispatched as he is overcome by the guilt and shame from betraying Christ. He had counted the pieces of silver, but he had not […]
