Chad Balthrop • Luke 17:1-4 ESV
Joseph was a dreamer. His dreams reflected the promises of God. Yet his dreams were derailed over and over again. Every setback reveals Joseph’s greatest quality of character. Joseph was faithful. He was faithful to God. Faithful to those he served. He was even faithful to the people who hurt him the most. How Joseph handled temptation shows us how we can be faithful too.

Misael Gonzalez • Genesis 24: 7-9, 12-16, 26-27 (NIV)
If we are to live in radical obedience in the everyday, we must have FAITH in our great God. As you read the story of how God led Abraham's servant to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham's son, you begin to admire the faith of everyone involved. It almost makes you question, “where is my faith?” as I try to live my everyday life with the Lord.

Misael Gonzalez • Genisis 4:1-12

Chris Wall • Matthew 7-24-29
The ending of the Sermon on the Mount issues a call to hear the Word and put it into practice. When God’s word is discovered, understood, and practiced, stability and endurance is the result. This passage will be both a great launching point and ending point for 2023.

I am on the journey when I actively worship with this local body, when I connect the spiritual truths of God’s word to my daily life, when I am involved in genuine Biblical community and when I am engaged with others as an ambassador for Christ.

Misael Gonzalez • Hebrews 1:5-14
As King, Jesus rules in such a way as not to allow sin to reign over us any longer. In the Old Testament, the monarchy was established for the peace, prosperity, and welfare of the nation. The prototype king was David. No king was ever as beloved as he was. He was God's ruling representative among the people. With David on the throne, the nation of Israel could say, "All is well." Few things comfort a nation more than having a ruler of righteousness and strength sitting on the throne of power. It was said of David that he "reigned over all Israel. And David administered justice and equity to all his people" (2 Sam. 8:15). However, we have a King greater than David. Christ came in the line of David as David's son and yet also as David's Lord (Matt. 22:42–45). He is "the ruler of kings on earth" (Rev. 1:5) and "King of kings and Lord of lords" (19:16), including David. He rules with perfect justice and equity. As our King, He has fought our battles and now rules in such a way that sin never can reign over us (Rom. 6:7–14).
