We are reminded through the life of Mary Slessor that the call to “do unto others” is a call to sacrificial love—one that moves us beyond our comfort into compassionate action for others.
God's love is not passive but active, requiring us to serve selflessly, forgive freely, and reflect on Christ’s sacrificial love to everyone — family, neighbors, strangers, and even enemies. We cannot love in our own strength; only by abiding in Christ and receiving His love can we truly love others.
24:16
Love the Lord: Part 4
Recognize the things that creep in and distract us from loving God with a whole heart: fear, worry, the world — and even just busyness with seemingly good things.
22:14
Love the Lord: Part 3
Throughout the entire Bible, the primary way that loving God is defined is by keeping His commandments. But what does "keep" really mean?
22:24
Love the Lord: Part 2
Can you imagine a man professing deep love for his wife, then saying, “I just spend 5 minutes a day with her”?
21:43
Love the Lord: Part 1
Realizing that all the commands are actually an expression of love — God’s love to us and our love to God — changes our outlook completely.
19:44
Bonus: “God’s Commands: A Burden or a Joy?” with Caleb Reed
What feeling does the word 'command' evoke in you? God’s commands aren't just to make us behave and “stay in line.” His commands flow from a heart of love.
36:13
Render to Caesar: Part 4
Have you ever considered that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (fulfilling Old Testament prophecy) because Joseph and Mary were traveling to Bethlehem to pay taxes?
23:07
Render to Caesar: Part 2
The “double command” in this command is eye-opening! Truly everything we have is from the Lord and is to be used for the Lord. If we gain a vision for “rendering to God the things that are God’s” it will have a profound impact on every aspect of our lives.
19:34
Render to Caesar: Part 1
“Should we pay the tax to Caesar?” was a politically & religiously charged question — and it was asked intentionally to trap Jesus. Would He openly defy Rome? or would He speak against His people, the Jews? In profound wisdom, He cut right to their hearts.
18:25
Bring in the Poor: Part 4
How do we help people without enabling them? How do we help without hurting? These are tricky questions.
18:43
Bring In the Poor: Part 3
Where is your focus? Is it on yourself, your dreams, and your goals? We miss out on participating with God and how He wants to touch others when our attention is consumed with ourselves.
19:49
Bring in the Poor: Part 2
Do you ever find yourself having an attitude of superiority toward those who you think are “less than” you? We need to realize that we were — and still are — “the poor.”
