The Greater Prophet
As I sat with Luke’s account of Jesus at the gate of Nain, I was struck again by how deliberately Scripture prepares us for this moment. Israel had seen prophets raise the dead before—Elijah pleading over the widow’s son, Elisha laboring in prayer over the Shunammite’s child—but never had they seen what happens here. When Jesus meets a grieving widow who has lost her only son, He doesn’t stretch Himself out, cry to heaven, or attempt the miracle in stages. He simply speaks, and death yields. In this week’s devotion, I want to walk with you through these three stories and see how they reveal the heart of our Savior—the Greater Prophet whose compassion moves Him toward the broken and whose authority over life and death belongs to Him alone.

The Bread of Life
In a small, easily overlooked offering of flour, oil, salt, and fire, God embedded a breathtaking preview of Christ Himself. This week we step into the temple courts, watching a priest lift an unleavened grain offering toward the altar — a shadow pointing to the sinless Son, anointed by the Spirit, tested through fire, broken for us, and given as our true daily bread. As the fragrance rises, Scripture’s unity comes alive: Leviticus and the Gospels speaking with one voice, revealing one Savior. Come see how this ancient ritual invites us to clear away the leaven, draw near to Christ, and feed on the Bread of Life who sustains us still.

Christ Exalted
In a world divided by theology and politics, this devotion calls us back to the center of every promise—Jesus Himself. Drawing from Galatians 3, Colossians 1, and Ezekiel’s vision, we're reminded that all God’s covenants find their fulfillment not in nations or movements, but in the One who reigns with perfect righteousness. Whether we wrestle with prophecy or ponder promise, our unity and hope are found in Him alone—the rightful Heir, the Redeemer, and the everlasting King.

Apostolic Hermeneutics
Apostolic hermeneutics is the Spirit‑guided approach by which the apostles interpreted the Old Testament as a unified, Christ‑centered revelation, seeing its promises fulfilled in Jesus and His church rather than awaiting separate national or political fulfillment.

What does it mean that we are made in God's image?
The Latin phrase is imago Dei, and it stands as one of the most profound declarations in all of Scripture. But let us be careful — this does not mean that we are little gods. That is a heresy, and a dangerous one at that. What it means is that God, in His perfect wisdom, has blessed us to share in certain of His characteristics by granting us physical bodies through which to experience them.

Israel's Land Promise
You have seen the headlines over recent months. Many of you may have sincere, searching questions about Israel — about what is happening in the Middle East, and about what, if anything, the Bible has to say about it. That is a good instinct. The desire to run to Scripture when the world feels unstable is precisely the right move. But we must be careful. Current events make a poor lens through which to read Scripture. Scripture, however, makes an excellent lens through which to read current events.
