Saved into the Fellowship (Acts 2:41-47)
Luke lists out four objects of their devotion: the apostle’s teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. These four practices mark the faithful Christian community, conducting their lives accordingly. The apostle’s teaching exalted the person and work of Christ, from his baptism to his ascension, and prophetically confirmed Jesus of Nazareth, Lord and Christ, as…
The Peace That Passes Understanding (Philippians 4:1-7)
Herein lies the solution and the solution reveals the problem. Disquiet in soul, leading to contention with others and absence of rejoicing, which themselves indicate movement away from steadfastness in the LORD, quite often stems from taking troubles and anxieties upon oneself rather than…
An Endless Hallelujah (Psalm 146)
Previously we covered Psalm 91, two weeks back, revealing the LORD as our fortress and refuge, who opens the path to courageous living for those covered by the shadow of the Almighty, and then last Sunday, we looked at Psalm 96, revealing the LORD as the King who reigns, giving content to our mission as the King’s people, to proclaim with gladness his glorious salvation…
The Source of all Good Things (Genesis 14:1-24)
Truly magnanimous people, people large in kindness, generosity, selflessness, and chivalry, know the source of their victory, God Most High, and give acknowledgement to the One who gives the victory.
The Righteousness of Reverent and Joyful Praise (Luke 17:11-19)
In this passage, Jesus heals 10 lepers of their affliction. However, only one leper, a Samaritan, is revealed to truly understand what has been accomplished for him. Out of the 10, he is the only one who turns to Jesus in praise, praising Him for for His goodness. If we see and understand what has…
The Master of Joy (Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9)
This life is a gift from God. But often we are not satisfied with what we have and we wastefully pursue more not realizing vain pursuit of wealth and possessions will never satisfy our souls. We must be satisfied in Christ and enjoy each moment as a gift from God so that we don’t end our life in regret.
Reconciled to Christ (Colossians 1:21-23)
(NOTE: Audio does not begin until the 3’15 mark in the message) Since Jesus Christ is supreme over all things, He has the authority, power, and love to reconcile those once hostile to God. He has done it through His death and resurrection. Having this as a true and solid foundation of faith, we in Christ are compelled to continue in faith, stable and steadfast,…
Redeemed, Part 2 (Colossians 1:9-14)
As we continue in Colossians, we look at the supremacy of Christ who reveals who God is and how He redeems His people. In Colossians 1:9-14, we see that God wants us to seek His will that we might walk worthy of Hi, being pleasing to Him. We will bear fruit in all good works, increase in knowledge of God, be strengthened with His power, and give thanks to the Father in…
