Book of I Corinthians: The Lord’s Supper



I Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV)

[23] For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;
[24] and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
[25] In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
[26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

Book of Romans: Divisive people need to be avoided



Romans 16:17-20 (NKJV)

[17] Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
[18] For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
[19] For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.
[20] And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Book of Acts: Shipwrecked on the Island of Malta



Acts 27:39-44 (NKJV)

[39] When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.
[40] And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.
[41] But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
[42] And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
[43] But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
[44] and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

Book of John: Breakfast by the sea


John 21:7-12 (NKJV)


[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
[8] But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
[9] Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
[10] Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
[11] Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
[12] Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.

Book of Luke: Zacchaeus in a Sycamore Tree



Luke 19:1-10 (NKJV)

[1]Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
[2] Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
[3] And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.
[4] So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.
[5] And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
[6]So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.
[7]But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”
[8] Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
[9] And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;
[10] for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Book of Mark: Wind and Wave Obey Jesus



Mark 4:35-41 (NKJV)

[35] On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”
[36] Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.
[37] And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
[38] But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
[39] Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
[40] But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
[41] And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

Book of Matthew: Jesus heals a great multitude



Matthew 4:23-25 (NKJV)

[23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 
[24] Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
[25] Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Book of Malachi: Your words have been harsh against Me



Malachi 3:13-15 (NKJV)

[13] “Your words have been harsh against Me,”
Says the Lord,
“Yet you say,
What have we spoken against You?
[14] You have said,
“It is useless to serve God;
What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,
And that we have walked as mourners
Before the Lord of hosts?”
[15] So now we call the proud blessed,
For those who do wickedness are raised up;
They even tempt God and go free.”
