Matthew 12:38

Many people claim to follow Jesus, but is their faith the real thing? In this 3-day devotional, Pastor Jed Coppenger unpacks three signs of an inauthentic faith: seeking human approval, holding others to higher standards, and failing to practice what we preach. With biblical insight and practical application, this study challenges you to embrace a sincere, gospel-centered faith.

The people kept asking Jesus for a sign, even after seeing Him heal, deliver, raise the dead, and forgive sins. Still, they wanted more. Jesus refused to perform on demand. Instead, He pointed to the sign that would matter most: Jonah. Three days. A tomb. An empty grave. This study walks through Matthew 12:38–45 and asks a hard question: have we been chasing experiences when God has already given us the resurrection? Three days. One Christ. The only sign we will ever need. Be challenged. Be stirred. Be mature. Be inspired.
