Resist the Flesh; Yield to the Spirit

Hope in His Lovingkindness

Believe His Promises
Matthew 21:19-22 The Lord has made many promises to us to help us seek His kingdom. But we must have faith to receive them.

Listen to His Word

Put the Lord’s Kingdom First
Matthew 6:33 Jesus wants us to make His kingdom our priority.

The Temptation of Jesus

Reflecting on Christ’s Miracles
