Ever wonder what that really is - and worried you might have done it? Let\'s spread some truth into this very misunderstood idea from Matthew 12:22-32

In our society you can\'t even utter the word \'Christmas\' in many circles. Why not just do away with it?

God sent Someone on a secret mission. The operative\'s arrival had to be kept a secret from at least three groups of people or all of humanity could be in jeopardy. Yet the secret was let out to a select few. Who were they and why they were told of the mission can help us understand and appreciate Christmas all the more.

A lot of people have had questions about the purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus takes it head on and reveals a lot about how we should live our lives.

In Manasseh, Amon, and Josiah we see represented the three ways humanity responds to the Word of God. Which group do you fall into. Also learn about perseverance for those who steadfastly refuse to repent.

Have you ever stopped to consider what you expect from Him? A helper, a rescuer from your troubles, a self-help guru, someone that thinks like you? In this chapter Jesus punctures the expectations of others and ask that you really listen to Him.

Ever think that you could never be a missionary? Think again. Just as Jesus sent out His 12, He sends you out as an undercover operative in hostile territory to spread His love. Find out how and how to be prepared for your mission!\r\n

It\'s a common mistake to think that when we get closer to God things will go easy for us. It\'s often the opposite. Hezekiah did a lot of good things, but God wanted more trust, and so he put him in a box. Learn about how that can lead us to more faith and more strength in the Lord.

Want to be a part of bringing God\'s love to the world but think you have to be a missionary to the jungles of Africa to do it? Think again. Share the gospel without speaking a word.

How many times do we go through our lives thinking we have it all together, only to encounter a crisis that blows us away? Life is a lot more tenuous that we like to think. But into that crisis comes One who says \'do not fear, only believe.\' Are you willing?

First Hezekiah restores Judah\'s relationship with God, now he sets about trying to restore Israel\'s relationship with God by inviting his brothers to the north to Passover. It\'s a great example and teaches us lessons about how to bridge the gap that exists between us.

Jesus tweaks the argument of who is in control just a little bit to introduce the real sickness in mankind - sin. He is in control of that too. Are you willing to give Him control over your total cleansing from evil?

We meet two kings of Judah. One, Ahaz, seems determined to get as far away from God as possible. God tries and tries to bring him back but he will not come. His son, Hezekiah, starts from day one to return he and his nation to the Lord. It is a great picture of how close God really is when we repent.

We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

What happens when we start out trusting God, but not with our whole heart? What happens when we begin to think that the marvelous help we get from God is coming from ourselves? And what happens when we push against the tide and set roots deep into the Lord to hold us steady?

You may feel like you don\'t deserve God\'s love. You may have walked away from Him or have areas of your life that you don\'t want Him to see. Today\'s study should be a huge encouragement to you to seek out the One who is willing to touch you just the way you are and cleanse you!

We\'re all followers, but how you follow is very important. Joash didn\'t follow Jehoiada in a way that made him a follower of Yahweh, instead of Jehoiada. It became crucial in his later life, and in ours.

Who you listen to matters. It determines who you belong to - who owns you. We can choose the easy road or the hard one, depending on who we listen to. Does it really matter what road we take. Absolutely!

The enemy will try relentlessly to introduce or maintain dysfunction in your life, just as he tried to wipe out the line of the Messiah using the dysfunctions of Jezebel and Athaliah. But you can have victory.

Pretty much everyone under the right circumstances prays. The key question is are you praying to the right person in a way that they will hear you and respond? Learn some important key ingredients to powerful prayer.
