    Faith and Reason

    Mini Meditations 25 In God’s Word we are told to “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.” And God has also said . . . “Come now, and let us reason together.” So, which is it? Should a Christian operate on faith or reason? In this lesson, we will find that there is a legitimate place in God’s plan for both.Transcript is here: https://closerlook.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/025-Faith_and_Reason.pdf

    Remembering and Forgetting

    Mini Meditations 24 In this lesson, we will explore some amazing things about God’s ability to remember and His promise to forget the sins that are covered by the blood of Christ. We will also see how God has guarded against man’s tendency to forget their Creator—both in the case of Israel—and the Bride of Christ.Transcript here: https://closerlook.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/024-Remembering_and-_Forgetting.pdf

    The Crossing of the Jordan

    Mini Meditations 23 Joshua 3:11-13 is a thrilling account of the Children of Israel crossing the Jordan on dry ground. As far as the priests were concerned, it was a step of faith. They must walk into the Jordan—depending on God’s promise to stop those raging waters. In this lesson, we will see how every aspect of this crossing pictures the Lord Jesus on the cross as He bore our sin debt—right back to Adam.

    Misjudging God

    Mini Meditations 22 2 Samuel 10:1-3 records an event in which King David’s motives were seriously misjudged by King Hanun and the results were devastating. In like manner, when Adam and Eve misjudged God’s motives, the results were devastating. But there is some good news, and it’s found in this lesson.Transcript here: https://closerlook.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/022-Misjudging_God.pdf

    The Image of God

    Mini Meditations 21 One way in which man is made in the image of God is that he is a triune being, having a body, soul, and spirit. So, when Jesus became a man, a full member of the Trinity became a member of the human trinity. Transcript here: https://closerlook.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/021-The_Image_of_God.pdf

    His Yoke

    Mini Meditations 20 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” How can a yoke be easy? How could Jesus’ burden be light? In this lesson, we will discover that Jesus really knew what He was talking about.

    Jesus’ Wristwatch

    Mini Meditations 19 Jesus was always aware of God’s timetable, and He was determined to follow it. During His public ministry, His life had been repeatedly threatened, and He miraculously walked away from danger. But when God’s hour had come for Jesus to die, He willingly gave His life on the cross for you and me.Transcript here: https://closerlook.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/019-Jesus_Wrist_Watch.pdf

    Jesus’ Limitations

    Mini Meditations 18 Jesus was continually hindered by the fact that some people didn’t believe in Him. His neighbours in Nazareth didn’t believe He was the Messiah. His own half-brothers didn’t believe in Him. This lesson ends by challenging Christians to believe in Jesus’ ability to meet all their needs.
