Old Testament
Isaiah announces judgment over surrounding nations. Human pride, military strength, and political alliances cannot provide lasting security.
New Testament
Paul opens Galatians fiercely: there is one gospel. His life changed because Jesus Christ revealed Himself and called him by grace.
Psalm
The psalm longs for righteous judgment when injustice seems entrenched.
Proverb
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to knowledge.
Discover
Paul's testimony has one center: Jesus changed him. The gospel is not a human invention or self-improvement program; it is the good news of God's Son who gave Himself to rescue sinners.
Reflect
Have I allowed the gospel to become complicated when its center is Jesus?
Fellowship
How would you explain the good news of Jesus in simple words?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, keep me rooted in Your gospel and free me from every counterfeit hope. Amen.
Live
Tell yourself the gospel plainly today: Jesus gave Himself to rescue sinners - including me.
