Two Minute Meditations (Page 24)

Not Distracted

Are you caught up in all the rapture debate?

We mustn't be distracted by the discussions about Jesus' return and lose sight of what is crucial about our discipleship.

50 Days of Grace

What has happened in your life the last 7 weeks?

Jesus used the 50 days after Pentecost to change and transform the broken disciples into world-changers.

Finding the Presence of Christ

Where will we find Jesus in the middle of our messes?

We will find the presence of Jesus in our lives when we are willing to be his presence in the lives of others.

Made for Ministry

What is the heart of real ministry?

Ministry is basically two things: giving and serving!

What Do You Want Them to Be?

When all is said and done, what will you be?

When we grow up, we want to be like Jesus!

Together and Everything in Common

One thing church must supply!

Church must be more than a gathering of strangers, there must be genuine and real community and fellowship.

God in a Box

Where do you worship?

Worhip is more than what happens on Sunday in our holy box.

Friends with Forever Purpose

What in the world did were they for?

Jesus' resurrection fills all of our life with meaning.

Straightening Out the Curve Balls

Do you think God can really turn around any bad situation?

What Satan intends for harm, God can turn around for good if we will trust him to be at work in our worst of situations and nothing proves this quite like Easter.

Held in Hope by a Memory

What do you remember this week?

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything, but mostly us.

What Would You Hear?

What captures your attention in a tragedy?

God cares about all people, all races, all nationalities in a tragedy and so should we.

The Face of Fear

What do you do when you are really afraid?

Fear can paralyze and immobilize us if we let it be our master.

Our Assurance of Reunion

Can you be sure you will see them again?

The Behinder I Get

How are you doing at keeping up with all your responsibilities?

We get behind and stay behind because we don't pray.

Don't Forget

Can you remember what you most recently forgot?

We are a forgetful people and lose so many valuable things of faith because we don't remember what God has done.

Living Up to the Price?

Are we living up to the price paid to purchase our freedom?

Is the high cost of freedom worth the price? Am I living up to the price paid for my freedom?

Glory Awaits!

Where is your life hidden?

The eternal part of us, our life, is hidden away with Christ in God and glory awaits.

Just a Small Sliver of Light

Where did that laser beam come from, anyway?

In a world of darkness, an intensely focused life is going to emit a lot of light in our dark world.

Pauses of Grace

Have you stopped longed enough to hear his voice?

We must take time to pause and rest in the gracious presence of God.

No Simple Changes

I bet you can't find any that are easy!

The New Year's resolutions that we committed to keep begin in earnest today and they won't be possible without the help of God because there are no simple changes.

After the Christmas Lights are Gone

Will we follow Jesus now that Christmas is over and the New Year approaches?

We are called to live for Jesus after the Christmas lights quit twinkling.

Happy Birthday Bro!

What are you supposed to do with those December birthdays?

We are thankful for our brothers' birthdays, but our Big Brother's birthday is the most important of them all.

Buried in My Old Attic?

Will this Christmas season be lost in things left behind?

Little things mean a great deal during the Christmas season. Let's not forget to do them.

Hard Winter Chill

Are you ready for the hard chill that's coming?

We can survive times of trouble, trials, and temptation if we prepare.

The One Left Behind

How in the world will you ever catch up?

So often we get behind and don't know how to catch up; how about listening to God and what he tells us?
