  • In John 21, after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter goes fishing with 6 other disciples. Jesus recreates the scene from Luke 5:1-11 and charges Peter to follow Him once again. In this lesson, we consider how Jesus’ way of interacting with Peter here equips us to be restored from sin and more diligently follow Jesus.

  • Luke 5:1-11 contains a more detailed account of when Peter forsook everything to follow Jesus. In this lesson, we consider the importance of Peter’s example and how our attitude toward Jesus should be built on the same foundation.

  • In 2 Corinthians 8-9, Paul urges the Corinthians to be abundantly generous in helping needy Christians in another region. In this lesson, we consider how we can also apply Paul’s encouragement to the Corinthians.

  • In Luke 12:35-48, Jesus teaches three parables that challenge us to be properly prepared for His coming. In this lesson, we consider how Jesus’ teaching here also equips us to embrace responsibility joyfully, rather than begrudgingly.

  • In 2 Corinthians 7, we consider lessons from the way Paul appeals to the Corinthian Christians to open their hearts and how he emphasizes their genuine repentance. Part of a series in the book of 2 Corinthians.

  • In Psalm 27, David demonstrates how hope in God conquers worldly fears. In this lesson, we consider our need to be deliberate to consider our fears in view of the greater hope we now have through Jesus.

  • In Colossians 3:19, husbands are told to love their wives without being embittered against them. In this lesson, we consider how this should be applied.

  • Although it is difficult to come to terms with, Jesus consistently and frankly taught about the reality of hell. In this lesson, we consider Jesus’ warnings and how we ought to respond to the reality of these things.
