Greg addresses the words of Isaiah at Isaiah 53:1-9.  When Satan wants us to say or do something to those who have caused us harm or frustration, consider what Jesus had to face and how he handled it.  Remember that God understands and is there to help.

If you wish to grow spiritually, you must spend time with God’s Word and time with other believers.  As Proverbs 21:5 says, “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.  Greg shares steps toward creating a plan to grow spiritually.

Today our lesson is about what is inside our heart.  And are you living by God’s Word, or your word?  God’s way . . . or your way?  Remember God has a plan which may not match your plan.  Are you living a God-Honoring Life?  What does your heart say?

Greg continues discussing Deuteronomy 8:1-2 and the lessons to be learned from the mistakes of the Israelites.  Also see John 10:10 and Hebrews 11:6.

Reviewing Deuteronomy 8:1-2, Greg reviews the words of Moses to remind us of what we can learn from the mistakes the Israelites made while wandering the desert for 40 years.

Greg asks you if you’re tired of waiting.  Are you praying and feeling like you’re waiting for an answer?  Looking at Psalm 27:14, Greg looks at what ‘waiting’ can really mean.

The loss of an unborn child either by abortion, miscarriage, or still-born affects men just as much as women.  Greg wraps up the week talking with the founder of the Kentucky Memorial for the Unborn, Kathy Rutledge, on a man’s perspective of the memorial.

The Kentucky Memorial for the Unborn started with one Lexington woman’s search for closure in her life. After choosing an abortion to resolve a crisis pregnancy when she was a teenager, Kathy Rutledge felt an unexpected loss so overwhelming that she considered taking her own life to stop the pain.  Today Greg talks with the founder of this organization about why and how she created this beautiful memorial for unborn children.
