Text: Luke 17:1-37. Jesus Christ was and is the friend of the rejected (verse 12-14). Lepers were considered defiled and unclean, and therefore could stand at a distance and that’s why shouting was very crucial for them to attract attention and be heard (verse 13). Jesus Christ told them to go and show themselves to the priest because it was[…]

Text: Luke 16:1-31. You are not justified or counted righteous by your own actions (verse 15) but only through Jesus Christ. He took your sins on the cross so that you are counted righteous. There is nothing you can do to make you righteous. The Pharisees had a tendency to believe that their goodness and morality would[…]

Luke 15:1-32. Jesus Christ was accused of receiving and eating with sinners (verse 2). This prompted Jesus Christ to share with the crowd the three parables. The parables were emphasising the joy of God over a repented sinner. Indeed Jesus Christ was called a friend of tax collectors and sinners (7:34 – NKJV). Do not[…]

Text: Luke 14:1-35. Jesus was invited by a Pharisee leader with the sole intention of looking for a reason to arrest Him (verse 1).

Text: Luke 13:1-35. Jesus told his listeners that unless they repent they too would perish. What is repentance? Repentance is turning from sin and coming to Jesus for salvation. In repentance a sinner feels sorrow, which is prompted by the Holy Spirit over his sin. Repentance will occur only when this is genuine sorrow over one’s sins. It is[…]

Text: 2 Corinthians 13:1-14. We can be complete, of good comfort, of one mind, live in place and fellowship with God only in Christ (V.11). We can fellowship with God in righteousness, not of our own but of Jesus Christ as it is imputed to us! Meditate on Verse 11. How are you going to apply it to[…]

Text: 2 Corinthians 12: 1-21. Different people speak of heavens and make them look complicated. But what are they? The first heaven is the earth’s atmosphere [Gen. 8:2; Deut. 11:11]; the second heaven is the interplanetary and interstellar space [Gen. 15:5; Psalm 8:3; Is. 13:10] and third heaven is the abode of God [1Kin. 8:30]; 2Chr. 30:27; Ps 123:1] The[…]

Text; 2 Corinthians 11:1-33. Paul is encouraging the Christians in the church at Corinth to follow simple Christian basics as they follow Jesus Christ [v. 3]. Today many Christians have been deceived and abandoned this simple devotion to Christ. Many have followed sophisticated errors of false teachers. Be sure that in Christ alone, if you are saved, then you[…]

Text: 2 Corinthians 10:1-18. You should never fight spiritual battles as you win people’s souls using the flesh, for example, through worldly wisdom, clever methodologies or using human ingenuity. Such weapons are weak to fight forces of darkness. They cannot fight Satan’s deceitfulness [v.3]. Walk in the flesh but do not fight according to the flesh [v.3] Meditate on verse[…]

Text 2 Corinthians 9: 1-15. God is the best giver as He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ [v.15] so that those who believe in Him should have eternal life [Rom. 8:32].
