One Thing

Today we examine Christ's message and how He delivered it. Learning to communicate as Christ did will help us all to better messengers for Him. The students must become the teachers.

Are you a good listener? Christ tells us that the way we "hear" God has everything to do with how much He can accomplish in us. Learn to be a better listener today - especially when it is God who is speaking!

There are four types of hearers, four types of hearts. Today we examine each and they examine us. Which of the four are you?

Jesus frequently told stories to teach truth. There is one story that He said was the foundation of every other one. If we understand and apply this parable we will be ready for every truth He wants us to know.

What is the unpardonable sin? Jesus gave the answer to a group of religious people who refused to believe on Him. This stern warning should cause every soul to listen to the Holy Spirit. He always tells the truth.

Today we discover simple, practical ways to deepen our friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Apply these truths and you will find the joy and power of a life lived "with him."

Ordinary people make an extraordinary difference for one reason. It is not simply opportunity and natural ability. The difference is the presence of Christ. When we learn to live "with him" we find all that we need to minister to others.

Are you a spectator or a participant in what God is doing in this world? Our world is full of great need and religious talk is not enough. Christ is looking for genuine disciples - people whose lives have been changed to make a difference in the world.

Those who desire to work for Christ must first learn to rest in Him. Today we meet "the Lord of the sabbath" and discover His heart for His servants.

So much Christian living has been reduced to simply maintaining the form and function of religious things. Christ wants more than our habits - He wants our hearts! Too often we see this hypocrisy in others but fail to see it creeping into our own lives.
