Harvest Church of Minden

Finishing up the series on the instructions to the early church by looking at Paul's charge for the Philippians to press on to the goal of the upward call to glory. As believers we continue to keep our eyes on Jesus and watch those who model the faith for us. 

Today we look at a famous trilogy from Paul and the early church to understand how he is commending the Thessalonians in their evangelism and being the hands and feet of Christ.

Finishing up the deeper dive into Romans 12, we look at the issue of vengeance and the temptation to repay evil for evil. It is a common thing in our world, but the Lord instructs us to live peaceably with all if it is possible, so much as it depends on ourselves.

Continuing our deeper look into Romans 12, we discuss the impact that Pride has on our witnesses and walk. As Christians we are called to humility and harmony.

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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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.
