Christ Focused

We know little of God until we know of his love. John even went as far as to say, "God is love" (1John 4:8). The love of God, however, is sometimes misunderstood —although there is no excuse for that. John goes on to say, "The love of God was manifested (made very clear)" (1John 4:9).

We all get an itch at times. It may be an itch that goes away with a scratch. But the itches I want to talk about are spiritual itches. I want to talk to you about an itch that a scratch cannot cure. The itches that I’m talking about are described metaphorically as itching ears, itching palms, and itching feet.

Even with our present sinful condition, God's response to us is one of justice, mercy, and kindness. In this lesson we will look at the merciful and just manner in which God has treated us.

Words and a prayer of exhortation and encouragement for those called by God to preach and teach His gospel in these last days.

Long ago, God said, "I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more" (Jeremiah 31:34) —another of God’s magnificent promises. In this lesson we look at four important questions.

We have learned that the Source of sin is the devil's lies, but when we chose the Solution to sin which is faith in Jesus, God covers our sins with love and forgiveness, granting us eternal life. Which option do you choose? You decide!

When Paul writes to the Romans, he is dealing with the problem of sin. Paul discusses sin from two aspects: (1) The source of sin is Satan’s lies. (2) The solution to sin is Christ’s death. In which will you choose to live? Choose well! In this lesson we consider the Source of sin.

Our fifth and last priceless thing that we find in Ephesians chapter 2, is our Citizenship in heaven. "You are fellow citizens with the saints" (Ephesians 2:19). This citizenship has several characteristics. As we meditate, in this lesson, upon the nature of our heavenly citizenship, we will look at some of these characteristics.
