Matthew 7:7-11 Devotional
Arnold Palmer once played a series of exhibition matches in Saudi Arabia. The king was so impressed that he proposed, in good Middle Eastern fashion, to honor his guest with a gift. Palmer resisted, "It really isn't necessary, Your Highness. I'm honored to have been invited." And, in good Middle Eastern fashion, his highness persisted, "I would be deeply upset," replied the king, "if you would not allow me to give you a gift." Palmer thought for a moment, "All right. How about a golf club? That would be a beautiful memento of my visit to your country." Click Read More to continue.

The Book of the Acts of the Apostles documents how the church grew from the original 12 to a group of 120 by the time of Ascension Day. A little over a week later, on Pentecost, it swelled to over 3,000. By the close of the ninth century, there were 100 million Christians.

Matthew 9:1-7 Devotional
Imagine a home filled with people, a crowd so thick that movement is nearly impossible. Amid this gathering, four friends arrive, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. Their determination is unshaken—they’ve heard about Jesus, they believe in His power, and nothing will stop them from bringing their friend to Him. They climb onto the roof, tear apart the tiles, and lower their friend right before Jesus. Can you picture the moment? Dust floating in the air, astonished murmurs rippling through the crowd. Then, Jesus speaks. "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." Click Read More to continue.

The gardener wanted to have the best garden in the neighborhood. He was so obsessed with outdoing his neighbors that he ripped out the native trees and flowers and planted exotic species that demanded constant attention. Click Read More to continue,
