Jesus: Our Great High Priest

Jesus PROMISES help through all our times of need as we go on in this life. He is a brother who is near, not willing to leave our side, always ready to help and support us. Hebrews 4:14: Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the […]

Brotherly Redemption

Jesus PURCHASED our freedom by His brotherly love.   His death gives us life. If we lose our lives, we find them. The way up is down. Romans 8:1-6: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. […]

A Brother that Knows

Hebrews 2:17-18: Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are […]

Brotherly Love from Heaven’s Perspective

Jesus PROVED his brotherly love for us by leaving the glory of heaven, taking on the form of a man, and humbling Himself to the point of death. Philippians 2:5-11: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to […]

Jesus: Fiercely Protective Brother

I have three brothers, all younger, with no sisters, so growing up I was outnumbered. We had our fair share of family feuds…but rest assured: if someone raised a hand to me outside our home, my brothers were right there to defend me. They were taught by my Dad to watch over me and care […]

Our Earmark

Christ’s tender mercies satisfy the desire of every living thing (Psalm 145:16)…. that includes you and me! We need to be inundated with His love in order to dwell continually in a state of what the Scriptures says is joy inexpressible. Therefore, we need to know His love, to accept it, and then the rest […]

Love Vs. Busyness

Sadly, we live in a day and age that is too busy to cultivate the closeness intimacy requires. Look at your typical day, week, month year…. If your day is anything at all like mine, it’s a challenge to find even an hour to set aside to be alone with God. I find myself praying […]

Hungry For More

I meet woman in all corners of the world ~Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Nepal, Russia, China, and here in our own backyard ~ who, like us, are hungry for more in their relationships with the Lord. They have tasted and seen that Jesus is infinitely good, but they are now asking to be taken to a […]

Knowing Who He Is

Psalm 103:7: He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel . I don’t know about you, but I want to be like Moses…. I want to know more than what things He has done, I want to know EVERYTHING about my Lord.   What makes Him tick? I am […]

His Tender Mercies

God desires again to pull each one of us into His embrace this morning… He wants you to experience the fullness of His love! We are going to linger at His table, to feast on His loving-kindness and to delight in His tender mercy. Years ago I was reading through my “One Year Bible,” and […]
