Today's reading we will cover Luke Chapter 8:1-3, and Chapter 11:24-32, 37-46, and 52, Matthew Chapter 12:22-50, and Mark Chapter 3:20-35.

Today' we will read about Jesus telling the Pharisees how sad it will be for them at the day of judgment because they were following many man made rules but neglecting loving God and being kind to people and in doing this, they were also keeping the people from knowing how to love and follow God. Jesus told them that they needed to love God and be kind to others first and THEN be concerned about giving a tenth of everything they owned.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how God wants our HEART. Good works are important, but it is essential, as Jesus taught us today, that we love God first and then the Holy Spirit will prompt us to do the good works God has prepared for us to do. Being a believer in God means loving God first and obedience will follow.

August 28 Daily Reading- Read the Bible in 1 Year

Today's reading we will cover Luke Chapter 7:36-50, Chapter 8:1-3,  Matthew Chapter 12:22-37, and Mark Chapter 3:20-30. 

Today' we will ask and read  the answer to the question: Is there any sin we can commit for which God will not forgive us? In our reading we will read about Jesus's feet being washed by a woman's tears and his feet anointed by her perfume. We will also read about a man being healed when Jesus cast out bad spirits from him and the leaders who were there accused Jesus of doing so with the power of satan. Jesus replied that no house divided against itself can stand, and the same is true with satan if he casts himself out. He is fighting against himself. Jesus was casting out bad spirits by the power of the Holy Spirit and the leaders calling the Holy Spirit bad was speaking against the Holy Spirit and it was a sin for which no one would be forgiven, ever. The Holy Spirit's role is to convict people of sin. He shows us when we are doing something wrong. When the Holy Spirit leads people to Jesus and yet they choose to deny the truth. When we get to heaven we will meet Jesus and God. At that time we will either be welcomed into their kingdom or held accountable for not believing in and obeying God's Holy Spirit who has been calling them to Him. God does not desire for anyone to die. God desires for EVERYONE to come to Him and experience eternal life with Him. 

As part of our daily application we will also talk about not judging others for being "sinful" as because all people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. In our reading today the woman was not named but simply described as "a sinful woman." Jesus taught us that those who have been forgiven of a lot of sins have a lot of love for Him, whereas those who have not been forgiven for many sins do not. It can help our humility to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal our own sinful nature to us so that we may recognize the fullness of how much Jesus has forgiven us of so that we may also have a lot of love for Him.

August 27 Daily Reading- Read the Bible in 1 Year

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapters 8:5-13 and 11:1-19, and Luke Chapter 7:1-35.

Today' we will read about the healing of the centurian's servant as well as Jesus bringing a woman's son back to life for her and then learn that these very events were proof of Jesus being the Messiah prophesied about throughout the Old Covenant! Jesus himself told the John's disciples that He was the Promised One, the One the people had been waiting for, and had been written about by the prophets.  We will read the scripture verses in Isaiah that specifically spoke about the healing and rising of the dead that Jesus fulfilled in His answer to John's disciples when they asked if He was the Promised One or if they should wait for someone else: Isaiah 26:19, 35:5-6, 29:18-19, and 61:1. Jesus will also confirm for us that John was the Elijah that the prophet Malachi wrote about who was to come before Jesus and prepare the way for Him. We will read Malachi 3:23. Malachi also spoke about John in Malachi 3:1.  

Jewish believers in the Messiah are considered "Complete Jews." We, as Gentile believers in the Messiah, are not Jewish but have been grafted into God's family tree, much the way the Centurion army Officer was a Gentile believer. Our God is a God of unification. There is ONE family tree. We are all of ONE Spirt- God's Spirit! It is far more accurate for us to say that we are Gentile believers in the Messiah than to make up divisions such as "Christian, Baptist, Protestant, Lutheran, Presbyterian, non denominational, etc." Instead, we need to consider ourselves ONE in the family of God.

Why are these things important for our daily application? We can be confident that our faith is in the TRUE Messiah promised by God. Jesus fulfilled ALL the prophecies written about the Promised One, who would be Anointed by God. This means we need to be following all of Jesus' teachings, like we read yesterday, when we learned that it is not enough to simply call Jesus Lord. We need to be doing what God wants us to do, part of which is observing His Appointed Times, His Moadim, which are rapidly approaching for us- the Feast of Trumpets, which will be fulfilled in the blowing of the Great Shofar when God causes the Rapture, as well as the Feast of Booths, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, which will be fulfilled by Jesus when He returns to Tabernacle, (dwell/live) with  us. We learned yesterday that God values those who teach others to obey His Word so I am encouraging you to prepare your hearts to observe these festivals that God commanded to be observed forever.

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapters 6:22-34 and 7:1-29 and Luke Chapter 6:37-49. 

Today's reading will teach us about not worrying about what we need in life because God knows what we need. We need to seek God's kingdom first and God will make sure we have everything we need! We will also learn about the importance of following the right leaders. We should not follow those who are spiritually blind or are false prophets. We can see who is okay to follow by looking at their fruit. While we are learning how to be like Jesus we need to remember that we will never be greater than He is, but when we learn everything we will be like Jesus. We need to be careful when correcting others, because it may be that we ourselves are guilty of committing the same sin and have a "beam" in our own eye while we try to remove the "speck of dust" from someone else's eye. God has good gifts ready for us. We need only to ask for them! Jesus reminded us today that treating others the way we want them to treat us is the whole message of the Law and the prophets! Wow, sounds easy, doesn't it? Just love one another! 

Most importantly, for our daily application today, Jesus taught us that it is not enough to simply say that we believe that He is the Messiah and call Him Lord. We must do what God wants. We must obey Jesus and His teachings, which is what we call being His disciple (student.) If we do not do what God wants or what Jesus teaches us then when we meet Him He will tell us that He never knew us because we were doing wrong things and not what He taught us.

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapters 5:29-48 and 6:1-21 and Luke Chapter 6:27-36. Today we will read about kindness vs hatred or retaliation, humility vs pride, and forgiveness vs holding a grudge. To sum it up, we will learn about loving other people, when, how, and WHY! 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how God is always loving, kind, compassionate, and forgiving. God makes the sun to shine on good people and sinful people. God is kind to people who are not even thankful. God is kind to people even though we are sinners. Our heavenly Father chooses to be good, kind, loving, gracious, compassionate, forgiving. We, also, need to CHOOSE to be the same way toward people, even those who are mean to us, steal from us, hurt us. Jesus told us that when we love those difficult-to-love people that God will give us good things for doing so and we will be called children of God.

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapter 5:1-28 and Luke Chapter 6:20-26. Today we will read the Beatitudes and learn about being the salt and light of the world (and why!)  We will also read about why we should not entertain sinful thoughts: because thinking about doing things we shouldn't do means we have already done those things in our hearts. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how God lives within us with His Holy Spirit. Spending time thinking about and doing things we shouldn't makes the Holy Spirit sad. We call that grieving the Holy Spirit. We are to think about things that good and pleasant and spend time thinking about God's Word, so that we are equipped to make the right decisions in life. When our hearts are right with God, the Beatitudes tell us, God will bring good to people whose hearts are clean and not dirty from sin. Those people will get to SEE God! When others see the good we are doing we are told that they will praise God! Let us be mindful of what we put into our mind- by seeing and hearing and and what we spend time thinking about, so that we may be the light in the world that God has intended us to be! Then, once we get to heaven, Jesus taught us today that God will reward us for loving Him, thirsting and hungering for righteousness, and following His ways.

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapter 12: 1-21, Mark Chapter 2:23 - Chapter 3:1-19, and Luke Chapter 6:1-19. Today we will read about Jesus being Lord of the Worship Day (Sabbath). In today's reading Jesus is met with legalism from the leaders, who were looking for ways to accuse him and his followers of doing wrong.  Jesus told them that if they understood what "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" meant, they would not be angry with Jesus or his followers for what they were doing on the Sabbath. Jesus was angry because their hearts were hard and they didn't care about God. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about our own tendency to want to be right and find ways to accuse others of doing wrong. Satan is the accuser and we are meant to build one another up, not tear one another down. God, who is the most right, has every right to be right, but He desires mercy, not sacrifice. We, too, need to remember to be merciful with one another and not focus on finding ways that others are doing wrong so that we might accuse them, but instead look for what others are doing right, in order to build others up. If correction is necessary, we need to be sure we are doing so in love, not just to be right. We need to make sure we have a heart for God rather than a heart for being right.

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapters 4:23-25 and 9:1-15, Mark Chapter 2:1-45, and Luke Chapters 4:31-44, and 5:12-26. Today we will read about the great compassion that Jesus had for the people who came to him seeking healing from illness, disease, and demon possession. In today's reading Jesus' showed His compassion was not just for strangers, but for those people closest to his disciples. Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law from her high fever as she lay bedridden. He took her by the hand, helped her up out of bed, and she was immediately healed. Later, a man with a skin disease approached Jesus and said that if Jesus was willing, He could heal the man. Jesus showed incredible compassion by both responding, "I am willing" and then reaching out his hand to touch the affected man. In this instance Jesus warned the man not to say how he had been healed but instead to go offer the gift that Moses described should be offered to God as a result of the healing. But the man, instead, began to proclaim and spread the word about what Jesus had done for him SO MUCH, that Jesus was no longer able to enter a town openly, but had to stay out in wilderness areas! Another man received so much compassion from Jesus that his sins were forgiven! Jesus tells us that He did so in order to show that He had the authority to do it, rather just telling the man to pick up his mat and walk home, which Jesus also did.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about being compassionate on people as Jesus is compassionate on us, as well as the importance of being witnesses to the things Jesus does for us and sharing with others our experiences with Jesus'  compassion on us. Jesus saved us from our sins by accepting the punishment for us. He gave us eternal life for believing in Him and sent God's Holy Spirit to live within us! The changes that we experienced as a result of this process are worth sharing and telling others about! We ALL have amazing stories to share, so let's SHARE THEM the way this man did and encourage others to come to a saving faith in Jesus as THEIR savior so that they, too, can experience amazing things with Jesus!

In today's reading we will cover Matthew Chapter 4:12-22, Mark 1:14-20, Luke 3:19-20, 4:14-30, and Chapter 5:1-11. Today we will read about Jesus returning to his home town, Galilee, and teaching in the local worship house (synagogue), where he was met with skepticism rather than acceptance. After leaving the town Jesus went to teach at the Sea of Galilee, where Peter, Andrew, James, and John had been unsuccessfully fishing. Jesus asked Peter to row him out a little ways so he could teach the people gathered by the shore and then asked Peter to row them out so they could catch fish. Peter informed Jesus that they had already been unsuccessful the entire night but would do as Jesus asked them. Suddenly the net was so full of fish that they had to call James and John over in their boat to help bring in the net, which ended up  filling both boats with so many fish that the boats almost sank! Peter exclaimed that Jesus should go away from him because he was a sinful person but Jesus responded that he didn't need to be afraid; he just needed to follow Jesus and Jesus would teach him how to become a fisher of men. All four of the brothers left fishing their fishing jobs and began following Jesus full time. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how God gave all of us certain talents and characteristics that He can use for us to fulfill the purpose and good works He created for us to do. Today I will share my own personal example of this: God gave me the name Obedient Witness. I have a high attention to detail and notice things. While this is a very helpful skill/characteristic for me to have in my daily life, God is teaching me how to use it to be HIS Obedient Witness as I read and study His Word to be able to "see" details and then share them with others, such as in this Bible reading event! Like Peter, we need to not be afraid. Jesus will teach you and teach me how to be the person God created us to be so that we can use who we are to further His Kingdom. We just need to follow Him! Jesus will teach us how to be a (fill in the blank for your specific job/skill/talent, etc.) of people!
