The Cry for Forgiveness 01.10.2026 27minSession: 1 Date of First Use: October 18, 2026 Title: The Cry for Forgiveness The Point: When we sin, we sin against God so only He can forgive us. Life Connection: Sometimes we want to downplay our sins as simply failures or mistakes, but we need to see them for what they are: sins. Those sins hang over our heads until we experience forgiveness, but forgiveness will elude us until we acknowledge our sin and look to God. Session Passag... -
God Speaks and We Respond 25.09.2026 26minSession: 6 Date of First Use: October 11, 2026 Title: God Speaks and We Respond The Point: When we discover God’s will, we are to follow it. Life Through a Biblical Lens: We often know what we should do, but we choose not to do it. For example, many of us can talk about the benefits of diet and exercise even though we never exercise nor eat right. Even more tragic is when God’s will is laid out before us, but we choose to do things our way inst... -
God Speaks Through His Church 18.09.2026 30minSession: 5 Date of First Use: October 4, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through His Church The Point: God communicates to us through other believers. Life Through a Biblical Lens: When you give your life to Jesus Christ, you don’t just come to Christ; you become a part of His church. While each of us has a direct connection and relationship to God, He uses His church to help us grow in that relationship. We’re taught, encouraged, and ministered to through other beli... -
God Speaks Through Circumstances 11.09.2026 28minSession: 4 Date of First Use: September 27, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through Circumstances The Point: God uses circumstances to guide us in His will. Life Through a Biblical Lens: We’ve all had those “random” encounters that we look back on and realize how life-changing they were. Did we just happen to be in “the right place at the right time,” or was it God’s way of helping us follow His plan. In the Book of Romans, Paul gave us insight into how we should view our circ... -
God Speaks Through His Holy Spirit 03.09.2026 27minSession: 3 Date of First Use: September 20, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through His Holy Spirit The Point: The Holy Spirit guides us in knowing His will. Life Through a Biblical Lens: It’s often easy to be led by our feelings or emotions. It just feels right. We know we can’t always trust our feelings, but are there times when that “inner voice” is right? God’s Holy Spirit is separate from our conscience. The Holy Spirit helps us discern God's voice from other voices compe... -
God Speaks Through the Bible 26.08.2026 25minSession: 2 Date of First Use: September 13, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through the Bible The Point: God’s Word is His primary means of speaking to us. Life Through a Biblical Lens: The Internet is full of sites claiming to guide us and show us what to do. Pick a subject, and someone is ready to give you direction on the matter. This is nothing new. Solomon said, “There is no end to the making of many books” (Eccl. 12:12). The ultimate guidance we need comes from God, and ... -
God Speaks to His People 21.08.2026 35minSession: 1 Date of First Use: September 6, 2026 Title: God Speaks to His People The Point: God loves us enough to speak to us. Life Through a Biblical Lens: Many people who believe in the existence of God assume God is distant and uninvolved in our day-to-day lives. Even Christians can fall prey to this thinking when they think their prayers are unheard and unanswered. But God does care, and in His timing, He reaches out to us with a plan that calls for us to walk with... -
A Love for Others 17.08.2026 34minSession: 7 Date of First Use: August 30, 2026 Title: A Love for Others The Point: We are to love others as God loves us. Life Connection: Love is an idea that we tend to apply to everything, and it’s often used flippantly. The love we are called to possess is something far greater than how our culture defines it. Love has its origin in God; consequently, the love we are to display is grounded in the character of God. The best way we can help and serve our neighbors is... -
A Way to Serve 10.08.2026 28minSession: 6 Date of First Use: August 23, 2026 Title: A Way to Serve The Point: God has empowered and equipped us to serve His church. Life Connection: The world gravitates to people who are talented or highly skilled with unique abilities. The more talented a person is, the more popular that person is. But a multi-talented person does not necessarily make the world a better place. God has a different focus. His desire is for us to serve and support others, and He equip... -
An Outward Focus 02.08.2026 37minSession: 5 Date of First Use: August 16, 2026 Title: An Outward Focus The Point: Bring glory to God by seeking the welfare of others. Life Connection: As Americans, we like to emphasize our individual rights. Christians also have rights that arise out of the freedom we’re given in Christ. We have the right not to be held to the convictions or preferences of others. But love dictates that we often need to set aside that “right” and freedom for the sake of others. In so ... -
A Humble Attitude 24.07.2026 29minSession: 4 Date of First Use: August 9, 2026 Title: A Humble Attitude The Point: Humility calls for faithfulness to Christ. Life Connection: “Notice me,” is the unspoken request behind so much of what we do. Whether through social media or face-to-face conversations, we find subtle and not-so-subtle ways for others to notice us and what we’ve done. Unfortunately, this is seen in the church too, but our lives and service are not to be about ourselves. Everything we do i... -
A Servant’s Heart 17.07.2026 36minSession: 3 Date of First Use: August 2, 2026 Title: A Servant’s Heart The Point: Serve Christ with eternity in mind. Life Connection: In the work environment, we often live in competition with one another. Who has the more important role or work? Who does it better? That mindset is not necessary when we work for the kingdom. “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:23) is the praise that awaits all believers who carry out their respective roles with diligence ... -
Wisdom from God 13.07.2026 39minSession: 2 Date of First Use: July 26, 2026 Title: Wisdom from God The Point: Believers have the wisdom of God because we have the Spirit of God. Life Connection: It’s often easy to be led by our feelings or emotions. It just feels right. We know we can’t always trust our feelings, but are there times when that “inner voice” is right? God’s Holy Spirit is separate from our conscience. God reveals His will through His Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 2, Paul told us the r... -
Fellowship with Believers 03.07.2026 35minSession: 1 Date of First Use: July 19, 2026 Title: Fellowship with Believers The Point: A life in Christ is a life of fellowship with other believers. Life Connection: Many people say they hold to the Christian religion because they hold to certain tenets within the faith, but they have no connection to a local church. When we come to Christ, we also come to His body: the church. We are not to live in isolation from other believers. Far from it. Our faith is enhanced a... -
Extending Grace 26.06.2026 30minSession: 6 Date of First Use: July 17, 2026 Title: Extending Grace The Point: We should be conduits of God’s grace to others. Life Connection: The popular view in our culture is that people get what they deserve. While some base that view on the false belief of karma—what goes around comes around—most people accept the idea because it seems fair. But God does not play fair. He offers us what we don’t deserve—and we call that grace. When we receive the grace-filled gif... -
Speaking Truth 17.06.2026 29minSession: 5 Date of First Use: July 5, 2026 Title: Speaking Truth The Point: When we invite others to follow Jesus, not everyone will say yes. Life Connection: It’s a challenge to motivate believers to engage with the lost to share their faith. One of the greatest fears believers express is the fear of rejection. For some, the concern is personal, a concern that people will reject them. But an even greater concern is that the one who is not a Christian will reject the ... -
Calling Out Sin 13.06.2026 36minSession: 4 Date of First Use: June 28, 2026 Title: Calling Out Sin The Point: As we call out sin for what it is, we can point others to God. Life Connection: It’s easy to point fingers at the sins of others. Based on what we might see on social media, it appears that some people enjoy pointing out the faults and sins of others. People need to be aware that they have sinned, but we’re doing a great disservice if we stop there without telling them about the One who can ... -
Showing Love 05.06.2026 33minSession: 3 Date of First Use: June 21, 2026 Title: Showing Love The Point: We are called to love God and love others. Life Connection: “Cocooning” has become a part of the American lifestyle. Many people retreat into their homes, insulated from other people. Even when they engage with others through social media, it’s done from a distance. We are called to love others, but such love will call us out of our comfort zones. When we see others as God sees them, love compe... -
Making Others a Priority 29.05.2026 31minSession: 2 Date of First Use: June 14, 2026 Title: Making Others a Priority The Point: We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Life Connection: We are drawn to people who look like us, act like us, or have the same interests as us. Such people are easy to love, but what about those who aren’t easy to love? Jesus had time for people from all walks of life. His love for people is seen in His interaction with different types of people. We should be like Jesus in... -
Meeting Needs 23.05.2026 34minSession: 1 Date of First Use: June 7, 2026 Title: Meeting Needs The Point: Meeting needs is an opportunity to introduce others to Jesus. Life Connection: We can be thankful that many organizations around the world—both secular and faith-based—are intent on helping people in need. Christians should be at the forefront of helping others. Jesus met needs, but He didn’t do so simply for the purpose of meeting a need. He took it a step further: He used His actions to point ...
