An important activity in the life of every follower of Christ is a spiritual heart check. Such an evaluation reveals the places where repentance must occur and guidance for faithfully following the Lord. In Matthew 6, Jesus identifies three important parts of this spiritual heart check.

Being a Peacemaker is a difficult task. But Jesus declared that such a descriptor should identify believers when he proclaimed the Sermon on the Mount.

God calls us where we are in order to lead us and equip us for where he desires us to be. The calling of the first disciples in Matthew 4 causes us to reflect on how God calls us.

The unexpected moments in life can cause difficulty. Matthew 1 presents several unexpected moments. Take a few moments to reflect on the life of Joseph to understand how such moments impact our life.
