And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus" - Colossians 3:15-17 Jesus never meant to be a weekend guest in your life. He came to take up residence.

"Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator" - Colossians 3:10 God does not just call you to put off the old life. He invites you to put on something better. You are not meant to walk around spiritually exposed, trying to live new while still wearing what belonged to the old you. He tells you what to strip off, but He also hands you a brand new wardrobe...  Read More

"Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry" - Colossians 3:5 You cannot be casual with sin.

If you have been raised to a new life in Christ, you cannot keep entertaining what once enslaved you. There is a story of a man who kept a...  Read More

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth" - Colossians 3:1-2 There is an important truth I want you to understand today. That is: Your mind leads your life.

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other" - Matthew 6:24 There is no such thing as spiritual neutrality. Jesus made it clear. You cannot live with one foot in the Kingdom and one foot in the world. You cannot claim to follow Him while holding onto your old ways. In the same way, you cannot sit in two cha...  Read More

"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me" - Psalm 51:5 You do not have to teach a baby how to be selfish. It just comes naturally. That is because we are all born into the same condition. David said it plainly in Psalm 51. From birth, sin was already part of our story. That is the old chair. Imagine two chairs in front of you. One is the old chair, the other i...  Read More

"All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit" - Proverbs 16:2 When Jesus changes your heart, He does not just adjust your behavior. He rewires your reason. Why do you go to church? Why do you pray or raise your hands in worship? Why do you give, serve, or join a small group? Those are not surface-level questions. They are spiritual ones. The truth is, most of us ...  Read More

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you" - Matthew 6:3-4 One of the greatest truths Jesus reveals in Matthew 6 is that God notices what others overlook.

He’s talking about motive. He’s pointing to a deeper way of living where even our kindness is not for show. That’s what makes this command so different from what we’re used to. We live ...  Read More

"Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward." - Matthew 6:2 In the days of Jesus, giving at the temple was a public act.

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward with your Father in heaven." - Matthew 6:1 Jesus warns His followers about something that can quietly creep into our hearts.
