#197 Handling Good and Evil Part 1

We are starting a deeper dive in Romans 12 looking at the early church instructions when it comes to handling good and evil. Paul starts the section out with 13 exhortations about living the Christian life.

#196 Suffering in the Flesh

Today we talk about suffering in the flesh as Christ did, arming ourselves with the same mindset that he had. We look at 1 Peter 4 to see more instructions to the early church and what they were to put off and put on. 

#195 The Peaceof Christ

Finishing the look at what the early church in Colossae is to be about in Ch. 3 as Paul tells the church to let the Peace of Christ rule in their hearts. We breakdown this meaning for the application of peace in our own lives. 

#194 What to Put On

Continuing in Colossians 3 and looking at Paul's instructions for the early church of what to put on. He also continues the reaffirmation of their identity in Christ. 

#193 What to Put to Death

Paul calls on the believers in the early church to put to death what is earthly you. He then gives some examples for them to consider in their own lives. We too must set our minds on things above, and seek the things above as believer's whose life is hidden in Christ.

#192 Being Raised with Christ

Today we start a deep dive into Colossians 3 and focus on our identity in Christ and the commands given by Paul to Seek the Lord and Set your minds on things above. 

#191 Think of others to Edify into Hope

Finishing up the look at Putting others over ourselves, we study the meaning of weak and strong and how as believers we need to encourage one another into the hope of Christ, patiently enduring as we trust in the word of God. 

#190 Think of Others Over Yourself - Humility

Today we look at Paul's continued push to think of others over yourself, but this time in the area of humility based on Philippians 2. 

#189 Looking to Others’ Needs Over My Freedoms

Paul consistently teaches the church to look to the needs of others, over their own. Each time there is a little different emphasis on the area that they focus on. Today in 1 Cor. 10 we look at the liberties that we have in Christ, and how to not abuse them to make others stumble. 

#188 The Confidence of a Believer

Today we look at the early church in the letter to the Hebrews to discuss the confidence that they had to enter boldly into the throne room of God through the blood of Christ. Understanding confidence correctly will allow us to be healthy in our approach to drawing near to God, holding fast to the confession we have, and stirring each other up in love and good works.
