There's a very unusual story in the Bible about how God nearly killed Moses before he ever returned to Egypt to deliver the people of Israel from slavery. Why would God do that? What was going on in this story? It all came down to a question of integrity.

When Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem, He was making a huge statement. Many thought He was declaring Himself as a revolutionary, but His plan was much bigger and deeper than simply a political revolution. He came to change how people meet God and how they worship.

Moses' life led up to the fulfillment of God's call on his life. God also has big plans for your life and He's working now to prepare you for the fulfillment of that plan.

The first miracle of Jesus' ministry seems like an oddity to our western mindset. Why would Jesus use His power for something that seems almost trivial? However, there are deeper lessons in this amazing miracle.

We often feel frustrated with ourselves and with our lives when we try to live our lives in our own power, but when we learn to keep in step with the Spirit, He moves us from frustration to fullness.

When John described Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, he said a mouthful! Understanding what that title really means helps us respond to Jesus in a way that changes our lives and causes us to tell other people about Him.
