  The Life of a Disciple

  When God Says “No” (Prayer, Week 5)

  Sep 6, 202617 min

  Send us Fan Mail Texts: 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 | Matthew 26:36–46 In Gethsemane, Jesus asks His Father to take the cup from Him—and yet prays, “Not my will, but yours, be done.” Paul asks three times for his thorn to be removed, only to hear God answer, “My grace is sufficient for you.” Sometimes God’s answer to our prayers is not the answer we wanted. That can leave us wondering whether He heard us, whether He cares, or whether we did something wrong. But the cross shows us that God’s love cannot be measured by whether He gives us what we ask for. The Father’s “no” to Jesus in Gethsemane became His great “yes” to our salvation. Even when God does not give us what we ask, He never withholds Himself from us.

  Prayer in Impossible Situations (Prayer, Week 4)

  Sep 3, 202620 min

  Send us Fan Mail Texts: Isaiah 37 | Mark 4:35–41 King Hezekiah receives a letter containing a terrifying threat. His response is striking: he takes the letter, spreads it out before the Lord, and prays. When life falls apart, our instinct is often to fix, control, worry, or search everywhere else for an answer. Hezekiah shows us another way—bring it before God. And in Mark 4, Jesus reveals why we can. The One who hears our prayers is also the One who speaks to the wind and waves and they obey Him. Whatever storm we face, nothing is beyond the authority, presence, or care of Christ.

  Can I Tell God Everything? (Prayer, Week 2)

  Aug 18, 202620 min

  Send us Fan Mail Texts: 1 Samuel 1:1–20 | Matthew 11:28–30 Hannah comes before God with a broken heart and pours out everything she is carrying. Her prayer isn’t polished or impressive—it is honest. And Jesus extends the same invitation to us: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden.” We often hide our pain, minimize our struggles, or wonder whether God is tired of hearing from us. But because Christ has carried our griefs and sorrows to the cross, there is nothing too heavy, too small, or too messy to bring before Him. Prayer is where we learn to bring everything to the Father who already knows us and still welcomes us.

  The Wisest Person Who Ever Lived (Wisdom, Week 9)

  Aug 3, 202618 min

  Send us Fan Mail Texts: Proverbs 8:1–4, 22–31 | Colossians 1:15–20 | John 1:15–18 We end where the whole Bible ends — and begins: with Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, the Wisdom of God incarnate. Proverbs 8 says describes wisdom as being present at the creation of the world. John 1 reveals wisdom’s identity. Every thread of wisdom we’ve followed — our words, our work, our families, our pride, our suffering — finds its source and its redemption in him. And we close with a meal: the Lord’s Supper, where the Wisdom of God still gives himself to us, freely, bodily, and without reservation.

  Envy and Contentment (Wisdom, Week 8)

  Jul 27, 202621 min

  Send us Fan Mail Texts: Proverbs 14:30 | Philippians 4:10-13 | Matthew 20:1-16 Comparison can turn contentment into envy in an instant. Through Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard and Paul’s words in Philippians 4, we discover the secret of true contentment: it isn’t found in having more, but in Christ. When we stop looking sideways at what others have and look instead to the generosity of God, we discover that in Christ, we already have everything that matters.
