Psalm 17

Genesis 22 - What's Your One Thing? (A short Bible Study)

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] I’ve had the privilege of being present when people have committed their lives to Jesus, either for the first time or in renewal.  In some cases, they express something a lot like, “Jesus, everything I have and am is Yours.”  Honestly, it’s quite moving and in my experience, it’s been sincere.  A moment of surrender, though, gets tested through the course of life.  Sincerity meets reality when Jesus says, “thank you for trusting me with everything, now I want you to give me THIS thing.” And we realize that maybe we hadn’t quite thought of that. We’re in Genesis 22, the part of the story when Abraham’s faith is forced to move from concept to concrete. Go ahead and open up your copy of the Scriptures and we’ll dive into this together.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/support] For a reading plan and to learn more about this devotional.  Check out the website! https://meetmeintheword.com/ [https://meetmeintheword.com/] Want to support this ministry but don't want to do the monthly subscription?  Click the link below. https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel [https://buymeacoffee.com/timothysamuel]

Matthew 7:13-29 - A Bible Study About Discernment and More

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] How are you using what you know? It is important for us to learn and take in knowledge but it’s more important that we act on the knowledge we already have. We’re in Matthew 7:13-29, the closing sections of the Sermon on the Mount when Jesus called his listeners to use discernment and put his teachings into practice.  How can you know if a teacher is pulling you the wrong direction? How do you build a faith that endures?  Answers to these questions and more in today’s episode.

Psalm 22 - What Will People Remember About You?

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] What do you hope people will say about you in future generations? I know, that’s a rather lofty idea to think any of us are THAT important but indulge me a moment. When enough time has passed that some of the details have slipped out of people’s consciousness and only the defining traits remain.  What are they?  We’re in Psalm 22, a psalm that gives us depth of emotion and several movements.  It is the opposite of static.

Joshua 10:28-43 - Biblical Obedience Gets Easier With Practice

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Did you know that obedience gets easier with practice?  Well, now you do.  That first battle with temptation takes courage to win so we should celebrate it. There may be some mistakes along the way but if we don’t give up, if we keep coming back to Jesus with soft hearts and that desire to become more like Him, He will give us victory. Then we can trade in the rhythm of sin for the rhythm of the abundant life.  We’re in Joshua 10:28-43, the part of the story where Joshua and Israel gain much needed traction in taking the land God had promised them.

Romans 7:1-6

Send Tim a note [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536383/fan_mail/new] Have you ever been in a situation where you knew it was time to move on but you were struggling with guilt because you have a strong dose of loyalty running through your veins? Don’t overhear that, I’m not advocating for the quick version of cutting people out of your life.  Some of you, though, are so loyal to old things that you need some firm permission to move on to God’s best for you.  We’re in Romans 7:1-6, the part of the letter where Paul urges the Jewish believers to fully commit to Jesus without compromise.  It seems like they needed some strong motivation to leave old things behind as well.
