Friday Devotional - Jesus in the Book of Amos

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; John 5:46). Since the Book of Amos is a part of the OT, let’s take a look to see how it points to Jesus.

Friday Devotional - Small Things Add Up

A couple of months ago, I needed new tires on my van. I took my two daughters with me and after the tires were replaced, the gentleman who had been helping me waited for me to buckle up my gifts in their car seats. I was trying to say goodbye, but instead, he pulled out 3 “silver” pennies.

Friday Devotional - Remembering

At our Thursday morning prayer time here at the Pizza Ranch Corp Offices we talked about remembering. We thought this was a good topic as we just crossed our one year anniversary of COVID hitting the chain. Do you ever have it where you hear a song, or a Bible verse, smell a fragrance, or pass a landmark and it immediately takes you back to a time in the past. It is funny how some things really trigger our memories to those big events in our life.

Friday Devotional - Jesus in the Book of Joel

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.

Friday Devotions - The Invisible but Real Enemy

Devotions – The Invisible but Real Enemy Ephesians 6:10-18. The enemy is Satan, he is powerful and real. Being a believer doesn’t make you immune from the attacks of the enemy, it actually makes you more likely to be attacked. But we can be confident because we have access to the power of the Father and the "weapons" he's given us to fight.

Friday Devotional- Jesus in the Book of Daniel

We’ve been working through the Old Testament looking for the New Testament Jesus 100’s even 1,000’s 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; John 5:46). Since the Book of Daniel is a part of the OT, let’s take a look to see how it points to Jesus.

Friday Devotional - Beauty from Ashes

A blog I read (listed below) talks about how life can be really hard sometimes and that in the Bible, ashes symbolize deep repentance and grief. There’s plenty of examples in the Bible about God’s people who experience hardship, yet God redeems their experiences (i.e., Job, Daniel, etc.).

Friday Devotional- Jesus in the Book of Ezekiel, Dry Bones

We’ve been working through the Old Testament looking for the New Testament Jesus 100’s even 1,000’s 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.
