Day 351: No Eulogy for Mr. Phillips (Philippians 3:8-9)
What does it mean to live a life so centered on Christ that even your funeral points away from you? A pastor reflects on a faithful church member whose final request—“No eulogy. Keep it about Jesus.”—embodied Paul’s words in Philippians: counting everything as loss compared to knowing Christ.

Day 345: Made Known to All Nations (Romans 16:25-27)
Paul ends Romans with a roll call, not a rulebook. The obedience of faith doesn’t terminate in ideas—it creates a community. And when the curtain closes on Paul’s greatest letter, the stage is full.

Day 358: Always Learning, Never Arriving (2 Timothy 3:7)
“Always learning” can sound like a virtue—but Paul warns Timothy that learning without obedience can become a trap. Scripture isn’t meant to be mastered; it’s meant to transform us. The journey matters, but only if it has a destination.

Day 356: New and Improved (Hebrews 8:13)
We love the latest and greatest—new phones, new tech, new upgrades. The writer of Hebrews uses that same logic to make a bold theological claim: in Christ, the old covenant has been made obsolete.

Day 330: What to Make of Mars Hill? (Acts 17:18-34)
Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill is often celebrated as a master class in cultural engagement. Yet the results in Athens were modest, and Paul’s own later reflections suggest he learned something there about the limits of brilliance and the surpassing power of Christ crucified. Acts 17 reminds us that contextualization matters—but only Jesus saves.

Day 328: How to Read Galatians
Galatians isn’t a polite theological essay—it’s a pastoral emergency. Paul writes with fire in his pen because the churches he planted are trading grace for performance. This guide will help you read Galatians the way it was meant to be read: urgent, focused, and anchored in the freedom Christ has won for us.

Day 327: A Gentile, a Slave, and a Woman Walk into a Church… (Acts 16)
Paul grew up praying a Jewish blessing thanking God he’s not a Gentile, slave, or woman—then the Spirit sends him to Philippi to meet exactly those three. God has a sense of humor.
