The Psalms (Text)

Psalm 60 - Challenges
As you reflect on this psalm, remember that victory comes from God. He will take you through your challenges if you trust in him, seek his guidance, and depend on his power. You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us;
Psalm 59 - God, Our Defender
Do you have enemies who plot and lie against you, seeking to harm you? Know that the Lord is faithful and will protect you from all evil. Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
Psalm 58 - The Power of Words
As Scripture tells us, the tongue has the power of life and death. The words we speak can heal or harm. What will you choose to do? Do you rulers indeed speak justly?

Gospel of Matthew (Text)

Matthew 10:37-39 - All Or Nothing
Embrace the all-or-nothing call of Jesus as he challenges his followers to prioritize their love for him above all else, willingly taking up the cross and losing their lives for his sake. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:34-36 - The Sword of Jesus
Embrace the challenging reality of following Jesus as he reveals the divisive nature of his message, inviting us to courageously stand for truth and eternal life, even in the face of persecution and familial strife. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’”
Matthew 10:32-33 - Acknowledging Jesus
Embrace the call to courageously acknowledge Jesus before others as he reveals the eternal significance of our confession or denial of him, inviting us to overcome fear and share our faith with confidence. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”

The Gospel of John (Text)

John 5:1-9 — Do You Want To Be Healed?
"Do you want to be made well?" Jesus asks a man who has been invalid for 38 years. Why should he ask what seems like a stupid question? Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [ ] One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
John 4:46-54 — The Need for Signs
As we reflect on this passage, may we grow in our understanding of faith, moving from seeking signs to trusting the Savior. Once more [Jesus] visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
John 4:43-45 — Unrecognized Prophets
Jesus said a prophet is without honor in his own country. Do we recognize the prophets God has raised among us? After the two days [Jesus] left for Galilee. (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.
