The resurrected Christ shows his care for us from the empty tomb as he meets Mary in her sadness, knows her name, and what is best for her.
While usually the healthy care for the sick, Jesus shows care from the cross, not only for his mother, but also for us, for you.
As Christians we face constant temptations and difficulties, but in Jesus Christ we have better things than the world can offer.
God's glory is the visible manifestation of his perfections shining forth in this world. In Psalm 29, written by King David, God displays his glory in a number of ways. He shines in heaven in the glory of his holiness, as David demands all the angels of heaven to worship him. God thunders in the storm and displays the glory of his power, and he calls us to acknowledge before the world that he is the creator. God sits as king over the flood, displaying the glory of his sovereignty. And God dwells among his people, displaying the glory of his love, which is seen most clearly in Jesus Christ bearing the storm of God's judgment in our place. And in him we can draw near to worship God, and find strength and peace.
Timothy is called to pastor all people in the church, and show them honor as he would fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. And the church should reflect God's heart by giving honor and dignity to godly widows who have devoted themselves to good works, so that they can continue to serve while being supported by the church.
God desires pastors in his church, as well as the people in the pews to show signs of spiritual maturity over time as they grow in Christ.
Despite its humble appearance, Christ's Church is the best group you could ever be a part of.
Jesus is not just one prophet among many. Jesus is The Great Prophet who can reveal God perfectly to us, because he is God and near to God.
God wants his churches to be filled with prayer. He wants us to pray with holy hands, and for our prayers to be all-encompassing, peace-pursuing, salvation-seeking, and God-glorifying.
Psalm 28 shows us how God brings us from worry to worship by teaching us to trust in his work, even when he sometimes seems silent.
