I'm here to remind you today that God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called, and you and I are going to hang out with a fugitive, a murderer, a man who wrestled with insecurity like you and I do...Moses.

One of the things I love about David is that he pursued God. The Bible says he was a man after God's own heart, and so I want you to keep your ears tuned for two words today. You will. And when you hear them, I pray that you will make them your own.

Today, you and I are about to meet Joshua, one of the bravest heroes in the Bible. He was Moses' successor... Can you imagine following in his footsteps, walking in his sandals? But God always knows what he's doing. He doesn't call the qualified; so often he qualifies the call. I hope that that encourages your heart today, because without Christ we can do nothing.

Being bold and being filled with faith go together. Faith is defined in the dictionary as complete trust or confidence in something, or in our case Someone. And then being bold is defined as showing an ability to take risks, being confident and courageous. I want to be bold. I want to be full of faith. How about you? What do you say we take a little Masterclass?! Let’s start now!

All this week, you and I are going to be studying the most bold prayers that are prayed in the Bible, and we're going to meet some of the most faith-filled people. So how do you and I become faith-filled people? How do you fill up on faith? Well, I want to encourage you right now because you're doing it. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. So when you open God's Word, you are immediately increasing your faith. L...

You and I have been making decisions all week and have decided to trust God, to believe what he says in His Word. We've decided to obey Him and we've decided to listen with an open heart and with open ears. I hope that you decide to follow Jesus, if you haven't yet... You will never regret it!

You and I... We need to DECIDE to listen. I want to be so tuned into God that I hear Him, and we've got to get quiet don't we? We've got to open his Word like we're doing right now so we can hear from Him. I'm so glad you're here. Let's jump into Acts chapter 16 now, shall we?

Every single day this week, you and I are going to figure out what God says to do in the Bible and we are going to decide to do it. You're not alone. I'm right there with you, working on this stuff, trusting Jesus and believing that He's good. Trust & believe that He has your best interests, and my best interests, at heart when He's making decisions about how and when to answer our prayers.

Do you have a word for the year? We're diving into decision-making and trusting in God, inspired by my friend's word for 2024, "DECIDE." We'll start off in Mark's gospel, studying the importance of trusting God over self-reliance. I hope you sink into Jesus' mercy, trusting the sovereign plan of our loving Heavenly Father. His plans are always perfect.

Nails didn't hold God to a cross. Love did. The sinless one took on the face of a sinner, so we sinners could take on the face of a saint.

One of my favorite things is getting to the end of a novel and discovering that there's an epilogue, and that's when you realize the story's not really ending. It's usually just beginning. We are still celebrating Easter here on the Bible for Busy People... This is the rest of the story. The epilogue continues and it really is the beginning of the story of hope for all mankind. We pick up our story today in Acts chapter one. Here w...

This week we’re going to be studying what followed after Easter... so much good is ahead. Last week, we prepared our hearts for the Lord’s suffering, for the mission that he came to this earth to accomplish, and we were together as he enjoyed the last Supper with his closest followers. And when he went to the garden and to the cross, and as he was crucified, you and I remember just how loved we really are. We understood afresh that...
