• Jethro: How to Become a Leader
    Jan 18 2026

    Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses. But he was also the one responsible for Moses’s success as a leader over the people of God. Jethro provides five ways for leaders to thrive. Whether you lead a family, a small group, a large organization, or a fast-paced business, these five practices are imperative.

  • The Shulamite Bride
    Jan 11 2026

    Although Solomon composed 1,005 songs (see 1 Kings 4:32), this one is in a class by itself. It was his magnum opus. Solomon called it his song of songs (see Song of Solomon 1:1)! This poetic song was directed to his young bride. Though she often gets overlooked by many who read the Bible, she caught Solomon’s eye. Let’s notice some of her qualities. I’ve put them in the form of four juxtapositions.


    I. She’s Unnamed but Not Unnoticed (1:8-10, 15)

    II. Passionate but Not Promiscuous (2:4-7)

    III. Desirous but Not Dominating (3:6-11)

    IV. Irritated but Not Inflexible (5:2-3, 6-10)


    Talk with God: Read Genesis 16:13 and Matthew 6:25-34 and spend time in prayer to thank the Lord for His faithfulness in seeing you and providing for you.

    Talk with others: Ask your friends and family if they’re feeling overlooked and how you can help support them in this season.

Let’s try to put ourselves in their sandals.
