I recently taught on this topic not too long ago and thought it would make a good post too. I was teaching on Matthew 8: 18-27 and while I struggled to put the entire lesson together in one cohesive message, I found discipleship to be a beaming option. Here is somewhat how it went: Beginning in [...]  Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled… (Hebrews 12:14-15) The hymn They Will Know We are [...] It saddened me to hear the news that Coach John Wooden passed away last week. I have never met him, but I have studied him and his coaching style and philosophies, and to me (as well as to many others) Coach Wooden was one [...] It is the end of another school year.

Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your [...] One of my favorite passages is found in Lamentations 3:22-25: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions and mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is [...] It is amazing how impressionable young minds are. They are like little sponges, who glean knowledge for watching us, listening to us, watching TV and so on.
