Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, but Satan is just a copycat. He isn't original. So we shouldn't be surprised to see him make a counterfeit god, a counterfeit gospel, and a counterfeit messiah.

This lesson from Hebrews 11:3 emphasizes that God is the ultimate and original Hero of the faith. It affirms that the universe was created by God's word, not through visible processes or random chance. Faith in God as Creator provides answers to life’s deepest questions—origin, purpose, morality, and destiny. The lesson challenges believers to trust God's power, design, and sustaining Word, while rejecting the confusion and hopelessness of a godless worldview. Faith in the Creator offers clarity, purpose, and eternal hope.
This lesson from Luke 22:63-71 examines the unlawful trials of Jesus, exposing the corruption and injustice of the religious and legal systems. Despite facing false accusations, illegal proceedings, and physical abuse, Jesus remained composed, affirming His divine identity as the Son of God. His trials fulfilled God’s sovereign plan, highlighting His obedience and the immense cost of redemption for humanity. The lesson challenges believers to pursue justice, trust in God’s plan during unjust circumstances, and live in gratitude for the hope and victory found in Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection.
This lesson from Psalm 78, titled “An Unbroken Chain,” emphasizes the vital role of parents and spiritual mentors in passing down truth to the next generation. Drawing from Israel’s history, the Psalm urges families to teach their children to know God, think biblically, and live wisely. The goal isn’t merely good behavior or success but deep spiritual formation through modeling, teaching, and pointing children to the gospel. The lesson challenges believers to invest fully in their spiritual influence, trusting God to bring the increase and continue the legacy of faith from generation to generation.
This lesson from Romans 2:9–16 emphasizes that all people, whether Jew or Gentile, are without excuse and will face God's judgment. Paul explains that God's judgment is based not on what people didn’t know, but on what they did know—through creation, conscience, and the law written on their hearts. Humanity is guilty due to an undeniable Creator, a built-in moral compass, an active conscience, and internal conflict over right and wrong. Paul also exposes myths, such as the belief that God plays favorites or will let sin slide. The lesson urges repentance, revealing that the only escape from judgment is faith in Jesus Christ.
No one ever lives a life of holiness by accident. It happens on purpose. It comes through discipline and obedience to the Spirit of God, which is a daily, moment-by-moment battle. Are you in the fight?
