Friday Devotional- Saint vs. Sinner

Last week I brought up this idea of seeing ourselves as “saints” instead of “sinners.” It’s brought up a lot of discussion here at the Pizza Ranch Support Center, so I’d like to revisit this again. So often we talk of ourselves as “sinners saved by grace” and this is of course true, but sometimes that simply gives us the “okay” to sin. There is so much more to it:

Friday Devotional - Jesus in the Book of Malachi

We’ve been working through the Old Testament looking for the New Testament Jesus hundreds, even thousands, of years before He was born. They’re all great stories on their own, but they absolutely paint a picture of who Jesus will be and what he’ll do for those who believe. Jesus claimed that the entire Old Testament pointed to Him (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39, 46; Romans 1:1-2; 1 Peter 1:10-12). Since the Book of Malachi is a part of the OT, let’s look to see how it points to Jesus.

Friday Devotions - God is the only True God

I’m just starting a bible study on Elijah and excited to learn more about his life and his story. So often we only know the mountain top experiences, and don’t know or don’t spend much time thinking about the process it took to get to that point.

Friday Devotional - Jesus in the Book of Zechariah

Friday Devotional - Ask

One of the most important and quickest things I’ve learned in marriage is that my wife can’t read my mind and I can’t read hers. The longer we’ve been married, the more we can however…ha-ha. But, we needed to learn to communicate early on. This is true in any relationship we have, personal, professional, etc. Often times we just needed to ask a question instead of assume the other knew.

Friday Devotional - A Reminder to Fear Not

We've all been through a lot in the past year and a half, some even longer than that. Last year we shared encouragement from God's Word regarding fear. Whether this is a personal struggle of yours or not, God's Word brings us encouragement all the time and we pray this reminder of a devotion we shared in June of 2020 is a blessing to you this week as well.
