Do you still not understand?

| New Thru 30

Matthew 16:7-9
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?”

How quickly we forget! Jesus had just multiplied food and fed multitudes not once, but twice! And here are the disciples all freaked out about bread, while Jesus is trying to teach them something so much more important.

Here’s a clue: Jesus isn’t concerned about physical provision. Ever. He’s trying to do something much deeper inside of you.

Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember?

The next 30 days

| New Thru 30, Spiritual Growth

The reading for our church wide, nationwide, worldwide NewThru30 initiative officially begins today.

We’re reading through the New Testament in 30 days, and we’re excited to see how God speaks to us on this sprint through the Scriptures. We’ve made all of our resources available for anyone who wants to join us at www.newthru30.com. I sure hope you’ll be able to join us for the journey.

Because of the heavy time investment I’ll be making in this project, as well as the writing demands for my upcoming book, Sun Stand Still, my blog will be taking on a slightly different form for the next few weeks. I’ll use this format to share with you random insights I glean from reading through the New Testament, as God leads.

Some days I may only post a verse with no elaboration.
Other days I may share a raw thought, without much background development or clarification.
I may incorporate a video or two, or a guest blog, or an off prompt musing.
And some days, I may share nothing at all.

It won’t always be in order.
It won’t always be profound.
But I invite you to share the next 30 days with me as I dive head first into the deep end of God’s Word.

You can always follow me on Twitter for regular personal ramblings and devotional thoughts. Follow Pastor Steven

And we’ve set up a special NewThru30 Twitter account for you to stay plugged in for daily inspiration from God’s Word. Follow NewThru30

Thanks for letting me be a part of your life through this here weblog.
It’s always an honor.
