Christ is still the only Head of the church. He needs no vicar.

Christ did not build His church on Peter. 1. Christ is the only foundation (1 Cor 3:11) Paul explicitly states that Jesus Christ alone is the foundation of the church. This leaves no room for Peter or any man to be the foundational rock in an ultimate sense. 2. The rock is

According to John Owen, “by faith alone” means: 1. Receiving only Christ (Jn 1:12) 2. Looking upon Christ (Jn 3:14–15) 3. Coming to Christ (Mt 11:28) 4. Refuge in Christ (Heb 6:18) 5. Leaning on Christ (2 Cor 12:9)

“I would never…” — Peter (Matt. 26:33) Hours later, he denied Christ. Ministry isn’t about moral posturing. It’s about humble dependence. We fall when we forget we’re dust.

Your life is short, your duties many, your assistance great, and your reward sure. Therefore faint not, hold on and hold up, in ways of well-doing, and Heaven shall make amends for all! Thomas Brooks

The church of God would be far stronger to wrestle with this ungodly age if she were more given to prayer and fasting. Charles H. Spurgeon

Paul’s instructions on relationships with others: 1. Let love be genuine. 2. Abhor evil; hold fast to what is good. 3. Outdo one another in showing honor. 4. Be patient in tribulation, constant in prayer. 5. Bless those who persecute you. (Romans 12:9–14)

The best antidote for anxiety is frequent meditation upon God’s goodness, power and sufficiency… Nothing is too big and nothing is too little to spread before and cast upon the Lord. A. W. Pink

Christ’s instructions on how to deal with worry: 1. Do not be anxious about your life. 2. Look at the birds—God provides for them. 3. Consider the lilies—God clothes them. 4. Seek first the kingdom of God. 5. Trust Him! (Matt. 6:25–34)

Christ’s instructions on greatness in the kingdom run counter to our world: 1. Humble yourself like a child 2. Be the servant of all 3. Don’t seek the place of honor 4. The last shall be first (Matt 18:4; 20:26–28; Lk 14:8–11; Mk 9:35)

The James Webb Telescope just mapped 800,000 galaxies spanning 13.5 billion years of space. Scripture simply says: “… He made the stars also” (Gen. 1:16) I love how God’s creation of galaxies is mentioned like it was no big deal—effortless majesty!

On this Monday, God gives: • Strength to the weary (Is 40:29) • Peace to the fearful (Is 41:10) • Steadiness to the shaken (Is 43:2) • Comfort to the brokenhearted (Is 61:1) • Guidance to the wandering (Is 30:21) • Hope to the waiting (Is 40:31)

Prayers for the believer: 1. Hide me in the cross (Gal 6:14) 2. Humble me before Your throne (Jm 4:10) 3. Help me to heed Your Word (Ps 119:105) 4. Honor Yourself in me (1 Cor 6:20) 5. Hold me in Your truth (Jn 17:17) 6. Have Your way (Matt 6:10)

Knowing God’s will for your life isn’t about uncovering a hidden blueprint—it’s about walking closely with Him each day. His will is first and foremost that you know Him, love Him, obey His Word, and grow in Christlikeness.

Throughout many years of ministry, I’ve been increasingly thankful for 2 pastors — faithful expositors, lovingly pastoral, and stalwart defenders of truth — Charles H. Spurgeon and John MacArthur. Happy 86th Birthday, Pastor John! Happy 191st Birthday, Charles!
