Twenty-eight short Bible devotionals selected from books in The Sparks Series. The pieces provide a taste of topics already published (questions Jesus asked and other people asked Him, and living in the kingdom of God) and of topics to come (guidance, finding our identity, faith, worship, the names of God, what it means to be like Jesus, prayer, and more). - Each piece is short enough to be read in a few minutes and together can be used daily for a few weeks. - Each one considers at least one Bible verse, and some life application is encouraged. - The pieces are designed to stimulate deeper reflection and spiritual maturity, which includes an application to life.Think of them as sparks that God can use to help your spiritual growth. May they ignite a flame in your brain that fires up your thinking, races to your heart, and jumps from the tips of your fingers, toes, and tongue. Feed the flames so that your thoughts turn to passion and your passion to action. May it be of such an intensity that, everywhere you walk, every life that you touch begins to glow in turn.

This collection of forty short inspirational devotionals by the author provides thought-provoking reflections on what made Jesus tick. It answers two important questions:What was Jesus' worldview and how did it shape His ministry?In what ways can we share the eternal truths that motivated and directed Him and how will they affect our everyday Christian lives?The goal of Christian spiritual discipleship is transformation into Christlike maturity. For us to live more like Jesus, we must start from the inside and work outwards. That means examining the life of Jesus in the Bible to see how His divinity and humanity interacted and how He thought. The author filters out aspects of our individual personalities that will and should always remain, and Jesus' pure divinity, which we can never share. What's left are ways in which we can become more like Jesus. From His incarnation to His crucifixion and ascension Jesus is presented as the Son of God. His faith in that fact and His relationship with the Father inspired everything He did and spoke. This book is not primarily about how to be like Jesus. Rather, it reflects on who He is. But don't miss a key point-contemplating and imitating the inner life of the Who is the how. Each piece can be used for daily reading, meditation, and reflection. Most of the pieces are just two pages long and focus on New Testament Scriptures from the Gospel accounts and the Acts of the Apostles. They provide a thought-provoking commentary on Jesus' worldview, teachings, miracles, parables, ministry, and what He taught His disciples.This book can also be used as a pastoral resource for teaching ministry and discipleship in churches as well as for personal spiritual growth in the Christian life. The author assumes that being like Jesus in the way we listen to God in prayer, dodge the world's distractions, resist Satan, and make disciples results in confidence and fruitfulness in His kingdom work. We will only escape the impotence and irrelevance of superficial religion to the extent that we make Christlikeness our goal.

What is the kingdom of God? Why is the kingdom of heaven such good news for us? And how do we live the kingdom lifestyle? How did Jesus intend us to seek first the kingdom of God? This collection of thirty-eight short devotional Bible studies contemplates those questions and explores our life with Jesus the King. It examines the miracles and message of Jesus about the kingdom, including the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, and parables like the parable of the sower (also called the parable of the soils or seed) and the mustard seed. The book can be used as a devotional and for group Bible study in a small group or book club. It will help the reader to grow in spiritual maturity by obeying and living the life that Jesus taught and demonstrated because obedience is God's love language. Living it doesn't depend on our determination or gifting; in the kingdom business, the King guides us and supplies everything we need to do His will.
