Psalms 82:1-8. Verses 3 and 4, what can I do for the poor during this season of Advent and Christmas?
Esther 2:1-23. What relative or friend has been like a Mordecai to me, a wise and devoted benefactor? How can I pay it forward?
Revelation 9:13-21. Verse 20, how is widespread unrepented sin, defiant of all warnings, expressed in our times? What are God’s people to do? My role?
Luke 20:20-26. Are Christians these days rendering rightly to God and to Caesar? How is my church doing? My role?
