Day 114 | 2 Kings 20-21 | Giving God the Credit: Hezekiah's Pride | Bible in a Year
God adds fifteen years to Hezekiah's life, and Hezekiah uses the moment to show off.

Elijah meets the king in the stolen vineyard. Later, before going to war, Ahab calls for one more prophet, Micaiah, a man he says never prophesies anything good about him. Pastor Kevin looks at how flattery leads to ruin, and
Day 105 | 1 Kings 19-20 | Why Does God Feel So Quiet? Elijah Runs from Jezebel | Bible in a Year
Elijah just called down fire from heaven. One threat from Jezebel, and he runs for his life. In 1 Kings 19-20, God meets him on Mount Horeb, not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a low whisper, and keeps guiding even wayward King Ahab. Pastor Kevin shows why God so often feels quiet: He usually leads with a still small voice, not a spectacle, and He meets you in the cave of your fear.Here we co
Day 104 | 1 Kings 15-18 | Is God Still Powerful? Elijah on Mount Carmel | Bible in a Year
Three years without rain, and Israel can't decide between God and Baal. It all comes down to one mountaintop: Elijah against 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.

Pastor Kevin shows the cost of living between two opinions, and why only one God is still powerful enough to answer. Here we consider Elijah and
Day 103 | 1 Kings 13-14 | How Do You Know It's God? The Lying Prophet | Bible in a Year

Day 101 | 1 Kings 9-10 | The Small Compromises: Solomon and the Queen of Sheba | Bible in a Year
Solomon's kingdom has never looked better, and it's quietly breaking the rules God set for Israel's kings. In 1 Kings 9-10, God warns Solomon a second time, forced labor builds his cities, horses arrive from Egypt, and the Queen of Sheba comes to praise it all. Pastor Kevin shows why the small compromises we ignore keep spreading, and points to the King who can repair what we can't. Here we consid

Day 99 | 1 Kings 5-7 | Finding Your Way Home to God: Solomon's Temple | Bible in a Year
Solomon's temple is carved with cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and it's no accident that it looks like a garden. In 1 Kings 5-7, Solomon and Hiram of Tyre spend seven years building God's house, with every stone cut at the quarry so no hammer is heard. Pastor Kevin shows how each detail echoes the garden of Eden, and how God has always been making a way to bring us home. Here we consider
Day 98 | 1 Kings 3-4 | What Would You Ask God For? Solomon and the Two Mothers | Bible in a Year
God offers King Solomon anything he wants, and he asks for a listening heart. In 1 Kings 3-4, that request is tested when two mothers claim the same baby and the king calls for a sword. Pastor Kevin shows why a heart that hears God is the best thing you can ask for, and how that wisdom lets a whole nation flourish. Here we consider Solomon's wisdom, his dream at Gibeon, the two mothers and the bab

Day 88 | 1 Samuel 28-31 | When Heaven Feels Silent: Saul and the Witch of Endor | Bible in a Year

Day 83 | 1 Samuel 15 | The Trouble with Partial Obedience: Saul Spares Agag | Bible in a Year
Saul does most of what God says and calls it obedience.

Pastor Kevin shows the difference between religious performance and real submission. Here we consider "to obey is better than sacrifice
Day 82 | 1 Samuel 14 | Enough with God on Your Side: Jonathan's Raid | Bible in a Year
One leader risks his life for his people. The other risks his people for his pride.

Pastor Kevin contrasts two kinds of leadership and points to a King who never starves His people. Here we c
Day 81 | 1 Samuel 11-13 | What Pressure Reveals in You: Saul Can't Wait | Bible in a Year
Saul looks every bit the king Israel wanted, until he's forced to wait. In 1 Samuel 11-13, Saul rescues Jabesh-gilead and unites the tribes, but at Gilgal, with the Philistines massing, his army deserting, and Samuel late, he faces a choice about the sacrifice. Pastor Kevin shows why God is looking for a man after His own heart. Here we consider King Saul's unlawful sacrifice, Samuel at Gilgal, "a
Day 80 | 1 Samuel 8-10 | Trusting a God You Can't See: Israel Demands a King | Bible in a Year

Pastor Kevin shows the difference between using God and following Him. Here we consider the ark of

Day 77 | Ruth 1-4 | Loyal Love in Dark Seasons: Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz | Bible in a Year

Pastor Kevin shows how God's hesed, His loyal love, shines through the darkest chapters. Here we con
Day 76 | Judges 20-21 | Sorry or Changed? Israel's Civil War | Bible in a Year
The book of Judges ends in civil war. In Judges 20-21, the tribes gather against Benjamin over the crime at Gibeah, ask God for direction, and go to battle again and again. Afterward, bound by a rash vow, they scramble to keep a whole tribe from disappearing. Pastor Kevin shows what it looks like to actually turn back to God as King. Here we consider the war against Benjamin, the end of Judges, ra
Day 75 | Judges 17-19 | Life Without a King: Micah's Idol and the Crime at Gibeah | Bible in a Year
What does it look like when a nation loses its moral compass? In Judges 17-19, Micah builds a household shrine and hires a Levite, the tribe of Dan steals both, and a Levite traveling with his concubine stops for the night in Gibeah. Behind every story is the same refrain: in those days there was no king in Israel. Pastor Kevin shows why we need a King who won't fail. Here we consider Micah's idol
Day 74 | Judges 14-16 | Strength Without Surrender: Samson and Delilah | Bible in a Year
Samson has the strength of an army and the loyalty of no one.

Day 73 | Judges 11-12 | Trying to Make Deals with God: Jephthah's Vow | Bible in a Year

In Judges 11-12, an outcast son is called home to lead Israel against the Ammonites, and he negotiates with his family, with the enemy, and finally with God, promising to sacrifice whatever comes out of his house to meet him. Pastor Kevin shows why God is a Father, not a negotiating partner. Here we consider Jephthah's vow, Jephtha
Day 72 | Judges 9-10 | Facing Your Consequences: Abimelech's Bloody Throne | Bible in a Year
Seventy brothers are murdered on one stone so one man can be king.

Later, when Israel cries out yet again, God's answer is not what they expect. Pastor Kevin explores the difference between discipline and abandonment. Here we conside
Day 71 | Judges 7-8 | Strength in Your Weakness: Gideon's Shrinking Army | Bible in a Year
Why would God shrink an army from 32,000 to 300? In Judges 7-8, God keeps sending Gideon's soldiers home until three hundred remain, armed with trumpets, jars, and torches, while the Midianites fill the valley like locusts. Then Gideon overhears a soldier's dream about a barley cake. Pastor Kevin shows how God's power shows up in our weakness, and why even heroes need to guard against pride. Here

Day 67 | Joshua 19-21 | Becoming a Peacemaker: The Cities of Refuge | Bible in a Year

In Joshua 19-21, the last tribes receive their land, God sets apart cities of refuge for anyone who kills by accident and is hunted for revenge, and the Levites are scattered among the tribes to serve them. Pastor Kevin shows how the priests stood in the gap for peace, and how every believer is called to that ministry. Here we consider
Day 66 | Joshua 15-18 | The Blessing of Laying Your Life Down: Judah's Inheritance | Bible in a Year
Why does Judah get the best land in Canaan? In Joshua 15-18, the tribes receive their inheritance, and Caleb's daughter Achsah boldly asks her father for more than she was given.

Here we consider the tribe of Judah,
Day 65 | Joshua 12-14 | Still Useful to God at Any Age: Caleb's Mountain | Bible in a Year
Forty-five years after he first scouted the land, Caleb still wants the hardest ground in it. In Joshua 12-14, the land is divided among the tribes, and while many are slow to claim their share, an eighty-five-year-old Caleb asks for the hill country of Hebron, where the giants still live. Pastor Kevin shows how God invites us into partnership, not spectatorship, for as long as we live. Here we co
Day 64 | Joshua 10-11 | Praying Bold Prayers: The Day the Sun Stood Still | Bible in a Year
Five kings, an all-night march, and a prayer no one had ever prayed.

Day 62 | Joshua 5-7 | Guarding Your Heart After a Win: Jericho and the Hidden Loot | Bible in a Year
The walls of Jericho are about to fall, and the real danger comes after. In Joshua 5-7, Israel renews the covenant at Gilgal and marches around the city for seven days with trumpets and trust. But in the middle of the victory, one soldier quietly takes what belongs to God. Pastor Kevin shows why the moment after a win is when your heart needs the most protection. Here we consider the walls of Jeri

Day 60 | Deuteronomy 31-34 | When the Leader Is Gone: The Death of Moses | Bible in a Year
The man who led Israel out of Egypt is about to die. In Deuteronomy 31-34, Moses predicts Israel will turn away, yet tells Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed."

Pastor Kevin shows how God remains when leaders go, and how the journey continues, anchored in promise. Here we consider the death o
Day 59 | Deuteronomy 27-30 | Choosing Life: Blessing and Curse | Bible in a Year

This generation has seen plagues, a parted sea, and bread from heaven. Now comes Monday. In Deuteronomy 23-26, Moses turns to ordinary life: pay workers on time, leave the forgotten sheaf for the widow and orphan, use honest weights, and bring God the firstfruits with a story of remembrance. Pastor Kevin shows how everyday obedience is tied to memory. Here we consider the firstfruits offering, car
Day 57 | Deuteronomy 17-22 | Love That Takes Action: Limits on Kings and Everyday Faithfulness | Bible in a Year
Your parents say they love you. Then you arrive at college, and they never registered you for a room.

Day 56 | Deuteronomy 12-16 | What a Devoted Life Looks Like: Worship, Justice, and Generosity | Bible in a Year
Sometimes you just need a picture of what you're aiming for. In Deuteronomy 12-16, Moses paints one: worship God alone, give your tithe, cancel debts every seventh year, open your hand to the poor, keep Passover, Weeks, and Booths with gratitude, and appoint judges who won't take bribes. Pastor Kevin shows why there's no divide between the sacred and the secular. Here we consider tithing, generosi
Day 55 | Deuteronomy 8-11 | Remembering God When Life Is Good: The Danger of Success | Bible in a Year
Children think eggs just exist. Grown-ups can think the same way about blessing. In Deuteronomy 8-11, Israel is about to enter a land of wheat, vineyards, and streams, and Moses warns them never to say, "My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth." Pastor Kevin shows why memory matters most when life is good, and how gratitude and humility protect us. Here we consider Deuteronomy
Day 54 | Deuteronomy 5-7 | Love Starts with God: The Ten Commandments and the Shema | Bible in a Year
A wall doesn't make light. It reflects it. Love works the same way. In Deuteronomy 5-7, Moses repeats the Ten Commandments and gives Israel the Shema: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." God chose them not because they were great, but because He loved them. Pastor Kevin shows how love starts with God, not us, and why obedience is rooted in relationship, not fear. Here we consider
Day 53 | Deuteronomy 1-4 | Why Remembering Matters: Moses' Final Sermon Begins | Bible in a Year
Before Israel takes the land, Moses has one more thing to say. In Deuteronomy 1-4, Moses begins his final sermon to a new generation, retelling God's faithfulness and their parents' failures, from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab. Pastor Kevin shows how memory shapes hope, and why obedience is a response to grace already given. Here we consider Moses' farewell sermons, the book of Deuteronomy, re
Day 52 | Numbers 32-36 | Learning to Live Together: Preparing for the Promised Land | Bible in a Year
The battles are coming, but Moses is worried about something else. In Numbers 32-36, Reuben and Gad ask to settle east of the Jordan, and Moses reviews Israel's journey, sets the borders of the land, and designates the cities of refuge. Like a parent sending a child off, he cares most about how Israel will live together. Pastor Kevin shows why faithful community matters more than winning. Here we
Day 51 | Numbers 28-31 | Winning Isn't Enough: The War with Midian | Bible in a Year
You're a soldier on the edge of the Promised Land. Before God sends you to fight, He stops you to worship. In Numbers 28-31, God sets the offerings for the new generation and gives laws about vows, and then Israel defeats Midian and comes home victorious, and Moses is furious. Pastor Kevin shows why God wants more than victory, and how He calls His people to come home holy. Here we consider the wa
Day 51 | Numbers 26-27 | God's Promises Outlast a Generation: The Daughters of Zelophehad | Bible in a Year
Your parents are gone. They died in the wilderness. Now it's your turn. In Numbers 26-27, God orders a census of the new generation, the daughters of Zelophehad ask for their father's inheritance and God says they are right, and Joshua is commissioned to take Moses' place. Pastor Kevin shows how God's purposes outlast any generation. Here we consider the second census, the daughters of Zelophehad,
Day 49 | Numbers 23-25 | The Danger from Within: Balaam's Blessings and the Sin at Peor | Bible in a Year
Balak keeps moving Balaam to new mountaintops, hoping the curse will finally stick. In Numbers 23-25, every curse comes out as a blessing, because no enemy can overturn what God has blessed. Then Israel's men are drawn into idolatry with the women of Moab at Peor, and judgment falls inside the camp. Pastor Kevin shows why the greatest threats to our faith often come from within. Here we consider B
Day 48 | Numbers 21-22 | When Deliverance Looks Unexpected: The Bronze Serpent and Balaam | Bible in a Year
Nearly forty years have passed, and a new generation makes a different choice. In Numbers 21-22, the people turn to God when a Canaanite king attacks, Moses lifts up a bronze serpent when snakes bite the camp, and Balak of Moab hires the prophet Balaam to curse Israel, but Balaam's donkey sees what Balaam can't. Pastor Kevin shows why deliverance often looks nothing like we expect. Here we conside
Day 47 | Numbers 18-20 | When Leaders Hit Their Limit: Moses Strikes the Rock | Bible in a Year
After decades of complaints, Moses finally snaps. In Numbers 18-20, Miriam dies, the people run out of water, and God tells Moses to speak to the rock. Instead, he strikes it twice in anger, and that one moment costs him the Promised Land. Pastor Kevin shows how leadership depends on God's grace, not human strength, and how God keeps providing anyway. Here we consider Moses striking the rock, the
Day 46 | Numbers 15-17 | Why Him and Not Me? Korah's Rebellion | Bible in a Year
Korah hauled tabernacle furniture while Aaron wore the priestly robes, and Korah wanted to know why. In Numbers 15-17, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram gather 250 leaders to challenge Moses and Aaron, God settles the question in a way no one will forget, and Aaron's staff buds overnight. Pastor Kevin shows how discontent grows, and why God's order must be respected even amid resistance. Here we consider
Day 45 | Numbers 12-14 | When Fear Keeps You from God's Promise: The Twelve Spies | Bible in a Year
Israel is out of Egypt, but Egypt isn't out of Israel. In Numbers 12-14, Miriam and Aaron turn against Moses, and twelve spies return from the Promised Land with grapes so large it takes two men to carry them. Ten say the giants are too strong. Only Joshua and Caleb believe. Pastor Kevin shows how slavery shaped Israel's fear, and why unbelief is ultimately the refusal of God's promise. Here we co
Day 44 | Numbers 9-11 | Why Freedom Takes Time: Complaining in the Wilderness | Bible in a Year
After a year of preparation, Israel finally breaks camp, and things fall apart almost immediately. In Numbers 9-11, the people follow the cloud toward the Promised Land, but within days they're craving meat and remembering Egypt's fish and cucumbers, and Moses asks God to take his life. Pastor Kevin shows why liberation is a process, not an event. Here we consider the Israelites complaining in the
Day 43 | Numbers 6-8 | Setting Yourself Apart for God: The Nazirite Vow and the Priestly Blessing | Bible in a Year
What would it look like to give yourself completely to God? In Numbers 6-8, God describes the Nazirite vow, gives Aaron the priestly blessing, "The LORD bless you and keep you," and receives the tribal leaders' gifts and the Levites' dedication. Pastor Kevin shows how deeper devotion needs structure, and why we seek God for communion, not just crisis management. Here we consider the Nazirite vow,
Day 42 | Numbers 4-5 | Every Job Is Sacred: The Levites Carry the Tabernacle | Bible in a Year
Somebody has to carry the furniture. In Numbers 4-5, the Levite clans of Kohath, Gershon, and Merari get the unglamorous job of hauling the tabernacle through the wilderness, and without them God's presence can't move with His people. Then come laws for dealing with wrongs and suspicion between neighbors and spouses. Pastor Kevin shows why every job matters to God. Here we consider the Levites, Ko
Day 41 | Numbers 1-3 | Order for the Journey Ahead: Numbering the Tribes | Bible in a Year
A year ago, you were making bricks in Egypt. Now what? In Numbers 1-3, God counts the fighting men, arranges the twelve tribes around the tabernacle, and assigns the Levites to care for His dwelling, with His presence at the very center of the camp. Pastor Kevin shows how structure enables forward movement, and how God gives His people roles and responsibilities. Here we consider the census in Num
Day 40 | Leviticus 24-27 | Boundaries That Help You Flourish: The Sabbath Year and Jubilee | Bible in a Year
Shorelines hold back the ocean. Without boundaries, chaos follows. In Leviticus 24-27, God gives the land its own Sabbath rest every seventh year and announces the Year of Jubilee, when land returns to the families it belongs to, then lays out blessing and discipline. Pastor Kevin shows how boundaries make flourishing possible, and why consequences are built into God's world. Here we consider the
Day 39 | Leviticus 21-23 | Integrity Behind Closed Doors: The Feasts of Israel | Bible in a Year
Your neighbors see the face you show at the door. The real you lives behind it. In Leviticus 21-23, priests are held to a higher standard at home before they lead in worship, and God sets Israel's sacred calendar: Sabbath, Passover, Firstfruits, Weeks, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Booths. Pastor Kevin shows why personal integrity comes before public leadership. Here we consider the feasts o
Day 38 | Leviticus 19-20 | What God's Commands Reveal About Him: Love Your Neighbor | Bible in a Year
Want to know what God is like? Look at what He commands. In Leviticus 19-20, law after law ends with "I am the LORD your God": leave the edges of your field for the poor, pay your workers, don't trip the blind, judge fairly, and love your neighbor as yourself. Pastor Kevin shows how God's character is revealed in His commands, and why holiness is lived out in the world, not apart from it. Here we
