The Ministry of Jesus Begins
Matthew 4:12-25 12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,he withdrew to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” 17 From that…
The Testing of Jesus in the Wilderness
Matthew 4:1-11 The Temptation of Jesus 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Bible Reading Plans
In the Bible’s most extended mediation on the benefits of reading and meditating on God’s word, Psalm 119, the psalmist writes, “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law” (v.18). The assumption is that there are wonderful things to be seen in God’s word. Thus, if wonders are to be seen and beheld, then one be in God’s word. There’s no better way to be in God’s word than having a plan to do so.…
Peace is Not Found in Princes or Presidents
The calls and texts over the past few days, have stirred my heart. Election stress. Vote counting chaos. It appears that for many there is a tsunami of despair about to sweep us away. Are we really approaching “the end of democracy,” as so many national headlines proclaim? If one fills one’s mind with cable news, one will certainly be unable to sleep at night. I invite you to fill your heart and mind with the eternal words of God…
Is There Hope for the Future?
As I watch the world, sometimes I wonder if it will survive. The stress points of society seem to continue to increase. The virus was stressful enough by itself. Then came the financial fallout as a result. These were uncharted waters; a global pandemic and a recession worse than 1929. Then the little boat of our country was pummeled by hurricane Racism. We reeled in its terrible winds. It seems to me that one more national crisis will be the…
