One of God's names is ‘Jealous.’ It’s not the toxic jealousy seen in broken human relationships, but the passionate, covenant love of a faithful Husband who refuses to share His bride with false gods. In Episode 8 of "Jesus - Our Hero Husband," Duane Sheriff teaches that when we have been espoused to Christ as a bride to a husband, He becomes "jealous for you with Godly jealousy."
Are we treating Him like a casual acquaintance, or are we honoring the covenant marriage we've entered into? When we become friends with the world, embrace its values, or seek our identity, security, and fulfillment in anything besides Christ, we're committing spiritual adultery. Jesus loves us passionately. He pursues us with the devotion of a faithful Husband who will not share His bride with false lovers. As we turn from the world's empty promises and look to Him as our true source, our faith is transformed from a religious obligation into a passionate covenant relationship.

If it is God's will to heal, why aren't all healed? God's desire for our lives doesn't mean His will happens automatically. His will does not change because of what we go through, our circumstances, or what we see happening around us.
Do you believe that it's God's will to heal? Our experiences, disappointments, traditions, or someone else's lack of healing cannot determine our answer. God's Word must establish His will.
Where do we place our confidence? Are we building our confidence based on our accomplishments? When we compare ourselves to others by race, title, background, education, or success, we are placing confidence in ourselves instead of Christ.
Faithfulness is the key to increase in life and ministry. Greater opportunities and influence begin with being faithful in the little things God has already entrusted to us.
Are you pursuing greatness on God's terms or on the world's terms? The world teaches us to climb higher, promote ourselves, gain influence, and push past others to succeed. However, Philippians 2 reveals a radically different path.
