Korah was envious of Moses’ and Aaron’s leadership positions. This envy was combined with selfish ambition resulting in strife and rebellion, ultimately leading to his downfall and death. Some people aspire to positions of authority to lord it over others, not so they can serve others. An important lesson to learn from Korah is not to let your desire for someone else make you discontented with what you already have.

What happens when someone who loves to be first takes control of a local church? 2nd & 3rd John may be the Bible’s two shortest books, but they’re part of a much bigger story—one that includes true disciples, traveling deceivers, dangerous hospitality, and the serious perils of arrogance in authority. Join Kris Langham for this powerful glimpse into first-century church struggles and what we can learn from them today.

Times of trouble are common to us all. It’s because we’re in a battle, and our foe is not made of flesh and blood. We’re up against Satan and his forces of evil; yet when we understand the devil’s methods and schemes, and the avenues by which he’s likely to attack or try to trip us up, we can literally close the door on him and find victory instead!

Read in this 5-day devotional the far-reaching consequences of pride, hate and bitterness. Even though Haman had received a promotion, he was never satisfied. The Bible says that “God resists the proud”. We see this clearly in the life of Haman, when God turned the tables on him and the gallows that he had set up for Mordecai became the gallows on which he was hung. Don’t be a Haman.

Independence is impossible because you’re always depending on something: water to hydrate you, food to nourish you, and God to hold all things in the world together. You were created to be dependent. You must realize that you can do absolutely nothing without Christ—you need God. If you’re open to learning what it looks like to depend on God fully, then this plan is for you!

Independence Is Impossible With Judah Lupisella

Humans can easily fall victim to the "looking-out-for-number-one" syndrome. Our current culture often supports that individuals put themselves and their happiness first. This plan strives to put our "Me Monster" within on a diet. When we take the focus off ourselves and concentrate on the One who deserves the glory, we become more God-centered and less me-centered. That's a good thing! 

Christ Must Increase. I Must Decrease.

We have an unshakeable belief in the power of Jesus Christ. Despite the pain, sorrow, and tension of this world, Jesus is not threatened by the darkness. He has no rival. He has no equal. He is the light of the world and the hope of humanity. In partnership with The Overflow, this 5-day devotional points us to the biblical application to five songs from the album Let There Be Light.
