Matthew 26:36-46

Jesus tells his disciples that his soul is sorrowful, even to death. But, as he prays to God, he remains reverent. He does not become demanding or harsh toward God. He is not losing his grip on the faithfulness demonstrated through his ministry.

Genesis 3:1-8

The reading of Genesis 3: 1–7 tells the story of the Serpent of the Garden of Eden's crafty use of semantics to configure the beloved first Man and Woman's place in the eyes of God. Evangelical Christians use this verse to say that women were tricked first then caused man to stumb

Malachi 4:1-6
Who is Malachi 4-5-6 talking about?

Elias isn't dead, so its possible he can return to earth in physical form, just like Jesus. The author of Mark has a hard time fulfilling this prophecy it seems. To stress the point home, he then has the transfiguration: Jesus stands with Moses and Elijah.

Matthew 9:20-22
What is the meaning of Matthew 9 20-22?
The gospel story remembers a woman who was suffering for a long time. She came in her need for healing; the journey was enlivened by her faith. Faith may not cure our ills and sicknesses; but over a long time of faith, we are healed and strengthened.

What is the main point of Philippians 2:1-1 1

Jesus continually taught that Philippians 2:1-10 servanthood is the essence of Christian ministry. The way of thinking Paul has been writing about was also Jesus' way of thinking. Christians are to cultivate the mind of Christ by following Jesus' example. This section is usually regarded as a hymn.

Matthew 27:45-56
Jesus was punished for all the things that sinful humanity has done wrong so they could receive forgiveness from God. In summary, Jesus died: to save humans from the consequences of sin. because no-one else was willing or able to pay the price for the sin of the whole world.

Mark 4:42-52
What is the moral lesson of the blind Bartimaeus?

In Bartimaeus' case he chose to pursue God despite blindness and despite the negativity of the crowd. He banked everything on God and Him only. Like Bartimaeus we should be so desperate for Jesus that we chase after Him despite what others may say to us, despite the encumbrances such as blindness.

Psalm 84

The psalmist is resolved to remind us that the good life is not about having everything you wanted; it's about having God—even if it's in the midst of nothing you wanted. The good life is not about having everything you wanted; it's about having God—even if it's in the midst of nothing you wanted.

Matthew 7:1-8 focuses on avoiding hypocritical, judgmental attitudes, urging self-examination before correcting others, and practicing persistence in prayer. Jesus teaches that the standard used to judge others will be applied to oneself, emphasising mercy, discernment, and trust in God's, a generous Father's, provision. 

Also Acts 9:26-27, 15:26-4:1,2 Timothy 4:9-11, 2 Corinthians 4:15

What is the main point of John 2:1-12?

That he is in fact the Son of God and each one of us should put our faith and hope in him. This sign, turning water into wine, was small in comparison to his other miracles, but it served his purpose - to manifest or display his glory. But everything was done in sequence leading to the cross.

What is the lesson learned from Matthew 14:22 33?

Here Jesus asks them to get into the boat and he goes to pray and spend time with his Father. This shows us the absolute necessity of prayer in a believer's life. He commands his disciples to go to the other side of the sea on a boat. This is a command that requires obedience.

Psalm 145 clearly tells us why we've been placed on earth: we've been placed on earth to be personally blown away by the glory of God. Because we're blown away by the glory of God, we live for that glory and not our own. And we can't help but pass that picture of the glory of God down to the next generation.
