  • Encountering Jesus’s Call | Scripture Meditation Matthew 28
    2025/04/28

    Scripture meditation invites us to slow down and listen for God’s voice, and today, we’ll engage in Lectio Divina to reflect on our calling through Matthew 28:16-20.

    God calls each of us to meaningful work—work that fulfills us and furthers His Kingdom. But do we ever feel truly ready? The disciples wrestled with this, too. After His resurrection, Jesus gathered them on a mountain in Galilee. Some worshiped, some doubted—but all were called.

    Jesus didn’t wait for them to have everything figured out before sending them. Instead, He declared His authority, gave them a mission, and promised: "I am with you always."

    As we meditate on this passage, we’ll listen, reflect, and respond to Jesus’ invitation. Consider:

    • Where is Jesus leading you?
    • What step is He asking you to take?
    • How does His promise, "I am with you always," shape your response?

    Come, rest in His presence. You are never alone.

    The passage from this meditation is:

    Matthew 28:16-20 NLT

    Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!

    Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  • Encountering Jesus’s Restoration | Guided Meditation on John 21
    2025/04/21

    Do your mistakes disqualify you from God’s calling? Can He still use you?

    In this guided Scripture meditation, we’ll step into Peter’s restoration in John 21—a moment filled with grace, renewal, and love. After denying Jesus three times, Peter must have felt like a failure, wondering if he had lost his place in God’s plan. Maybe you’ve felt that way too.

    But Jesus wasn’t done with Peter. And He isn’t done with you.

    As we meditate on this powerful encounter, you’ll sit by the fire with Jesus, hear His words of restoration, and receive His love for you today.

    Come, listen, and let Jesus’s calling revive your heart.

    The passage from this meditation is:

    John 21:15-22, NLT

    15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

    “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.”

    “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him.

    16 Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

    “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.”

    “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.

    17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

    Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”

    Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

    18 “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will dress you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to let him know by what kind of death he would glorify God. Then Jesus told him, “Follow me.” 20 Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”

    22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”

  • Encounter the Risen Jesus | Easter Meditation
    2025/04/20
    Experience the wonder of Easter Sunday with this Resurrection meditation. Today is the day we celebrate that Jesus is risen—but can you imagine what this moment was like for His first followers? Unbelievable. How could someone they saw die be alive? This meditation invites you to slow down and step into the wonder of that first Resurrection morning. The women discovered the empty tomb. The disciples struggled to believe. And two followers, walking the road to Emmaus, unknowingly encountered Jesus Himself. In this meditation, you’ll take the journey to Emmaus as one of those travelers. What would this seven-mile walk have been like? Grief. Confusion. Wrestling with the rumors of resurrection. Then, suddenly, a stranger begins to walk beside you. He explains the Scriptures, revealing what you couldn’t see before. And finally, in the breaking of bread, your eyes are opened—It was Jesus. He had been with you all along. This Easter, I pray you encounter the risen Christ in a fresh way—with wonder, hope, and joy. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Listen now and step into the story of Easter in a new way. Get your free Lent Journal here. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

The passage from this meditation is: Luke 24:13-34, NLT 13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. 18 Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.” 19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people. 20 But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. 21 We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago. 22 “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report. 23 They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive! 24 Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.” 25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. 26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” 27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared! 32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” 33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem.
