Scripture Focus: Matthew 21;22 In Matthew 21, Jesus fulfills what was written about Him as He enters Jerusalem, yet the disciples and the crowd struggle to fully understand what God is doing (Matthew 21:1–11). Though they witness prophecy unfolding before their eyes, confusion still surrounds Jesus’ mission. This reminds us that even when God is…

Scripture Focus: Matthew 19;20 In Matthew 19, we meet the rich young man who comes to Jesus with an honest question: “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” (Matthew 19:20). He had obeyed the commandments and lived a disciplined life, yet he still sensed that something was missing. Jesus then told him, “If you want…

Ephesians 1 opens with a powerful reminder of God’s grace and forgiveness. Through Christ, our sins are forgiven, and we are brought into a new identity as God’s own people. We are not left uncertain about our future, but we are “marked in Him with a seal, the Holy Spirit, who is the deposit guaranteeing…

Scripture Focus: Matthew 17 In Matthew 17, Peter witnesses the glory of Jesus’ transfiguration and immediately wants to remain in that moment. He says, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters…” (Matthew 17:4). Peter’s response is understandable. Who wouldn’t want to stay on the…

In Matthew 15, Jesus challenges us with a question that reaches straight into the heart: Are you nullifying the Word of God for the sake of your tradition? (Matthew 15:6–9). The Pharisees were deeply committed to religious routines, yet their hearts had drifted far from God. Their lips honored Him, but their lives did not reflect obedience…

Scripture Focus: Matthew 13;14 In Matthew 13, Jesus invites us into honest self-examination through the parable of the sower. The question is simple yet piercing: Which soil am I? Am I the hardened path where the Word never takes root, the rocky ground where faith begins but withers under pressure, the thorny soil crowded by worries and…

Scripture Focus: Matthew 12 In Matthew 12, Jesus confronts a familiar tension—religious rule-keeping versus the heart of God. When the Pharisees accuse Him and His disciples of breaking Sabbath laws, Jesus responds with a statement that pierces through legalism: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” (Matthew 12:7). He is not dismissing God’s law; He is revealing its true…

John the Baptist—faithful, obedient, and devoted—finds himself asking a question many of us have whispered in seasons of waiting or disappointment: “Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” (Matthew 11:3). John’s question is not rooted in rebellion,…
